The method

It may not be fun, but here’s what she finds works:

  1. Be boring: stick to a simple, repetitive diet to track progress easily, and make hitting macros simpler.
  2. Cut back on protein bars: processed protein bars are calorie-dense but not filling (due to their small volume), so limit them, especially when trying to get lean.
  3. Stop daily fluctuations: she advises to be precise with macros and calories daily, not just weekly, to see consistent results.
  4. Focus on fiber: aim for 25–30g of fiber daily to improve gut health, reduce cravings, and maintain health while cutting fat.
  5. Get 30–40g of protein per meal: ensure each meal has enough protein to fuel muscle growth and support overall body function.
  6. Prioritize carbs around workouts: eat carbs before and after training to fuel performance, aid muscle repair, and maintain lean mass.
  7. Take diet breaks: incorporate 1–2 week maintenance phases to prevent metabolic adaptation, maintain muscle, and thus stay consistent in the long-term.
  8. Be careful with fat burners & preworkout: these can harm sleep, recovery, and long-term fat loss; opt for natural dietary energy sources instead.
  9. Don’t set-and-forget: regularly assess and adjust your diet and macros as your body and lifestyle change.
  10. “Suck it up, buttercup”: fat loss requires persistence, discipline, and pushing through tough moments when you feel like quitting.
