So many times, we think buckling down harder is the only way to see results. And it’s so frustrating when we can’t sustain being that strict!
I was incredibly strict for almost two years when I was on an anti-inflammation diet & a calorie deficit.
I took four months to learn how to eat for the Hepatonia Constitutional Body Type, and then I started my first coaching program from a friend to learn how to track macros.
About a year later, I hit a road bump after a few cuts, where I was in a deficit and then maintenance.
I was fatigued from dieting. My training partner, who had 40+ years of experience in bodybuilding, said that if I cut out Saturday morning pancakes, I’d have my six-pack.
The only problem with that statement was that Saturday morning pancakes were the highlight of my week.
I spiraled for months after that little harmless suggestion.
If I had had my moderate eating habits now, I would have been okay with that statement and omitted Saturday pancakes.
This video is what I did and what you should do to stop being so strict to have long-term results!
