"Note that this is a full 15 months and 11.33 kg difference!! I went through an initial fat loss phase for 6-8 months, then reverse dieted and hung at maintenance for another 6 months, and then went into another fat loss phase for about 4 months. The secret—slow & steady," she wrote in the post before writing the complete tips.
Further, she mentioned 5 points that she used in the weight loss journey.
- High Volume & High Protein: A calorie deficit is key for a fat loss phase, BUT that doesn't mean eating less!
- Strength Training: Strength training is essential during a fat loss phase for holding onto muscle and actually targeting fat loss (rather than just weight loss).
- Steps & Cardio: I have an 8k-10k step goal, which I hit daily! I also added in 2-4x cardio per week (20-30 min jogs or biking sessions), which helped a lot with my goals!
- No Restrictions: I have dessert every night and go out every weekend—this stays the same whether I'm in a cut or bulk or neither! You just have to incorporate it in your tracking.
- Consistency and patience: the most important thing. It's critical to stick with it to make results long-term. I aimed for 5 lbs per week realistic fat loss on average!! 5 lbs per week realistic fat loss on average.
