- 0:03You're hitting your protein.
- 0:04You're hitting all of your macros You're working
- 0:06out consistently, but you are starving or not
- 0:09even starving But you just have tons of
- 0:11food noise where you finish a meal and
- 0:14you automatically are thinking about your next meal
- 0:17And it's causing you even more stress and
- 0:19you haven't been seeing the results that you
- 0:21feel like you should be getting and that
- 0:23sucks When you're working so hard and you're
- 0:25not getting any results with it Let's cover
- 0:27what could be going on and let's talk
- 0:29about how we can remove some of that
- 0:31food noise So that you can live your
- 0:33life without thinking what's my next meal going
- 0:36to be and so that you're not starving
- 0:38all the time When you are trying to
- 0:40be in a calorie deficit tip number one
- 0:42Are you in too aggressive of a cut
- 0:44if you have been in a cut for
- 0:46over eight to twelve weeks?
- 0:48Or you're in a cut where you're cutting
- 0:51out four to five hundred to even six
- 0:53hundred calories a day That might be a
- 0:55little bit too aggressive So what I would
- 0:57suggest for that is one either go into
- 1:00a maintenance phase Just like a little reset
- 1:02or a refeeding period for one to three
- 1:04weeks where instead of cutting your calories or
- 1:06being in that deficit let's come back to
- 1:09maintenance calories for just one to three weeks
- 1:10that can help to reset yourself mentally and
- 1:14physically or you can also try to Reestablish
- 1:17a deficit instead of doing a 500 calorie
- 1:20deficit go more into like a two to
- 1:22three hundred calorie deficit And see if that
- 1:24might be exactly what you need to help
- 1:26remove some of that food noise Tip number
- 1:28two is to make your food more appetizing
- 1:31if you're eating these same things every single
- 1:33day Maybe that's an issue in and of
- 1:35itself.
- 1:36Some people can do that.
- 1:37I can eat the same lunch I've actually
- 1:39pretty much have been eating the same lunch
- 1:40for two years and it's still exciting to
- 1:43me My husband on the other hand He
- 1:45has to have something different every single day
- 1:46And so if you're in food boredom and
- 1:48you're not looking forward to your food Then
- 1:50of course you're gonna finish it and automatically
- 1:52go like well, that wasn't very good.
- 1:54What can I eat next?
- 1:55So what I would suggest is following some
- 1:57sort of meal plan that makes it still
- 1:59simple to prep your meals But offers you
- 2:02a little bit more variety.
- 2:04So maybe that means having a lot of
- 2:06different sauces in your house I love meal
- 2:08prep where you can do one sort of
- 2:10protein but create several different types of meals
- 2:12from it For example, you can make a
- 2:14big container of ground beef but you can
- 2:17put salsa on it and then you can
- 2:18make a taco bowl or you can put
- 2:20some tzatziki in it and make some kind
- 2:22of Mediterranean style wraps or you can add
- 2:26some curry seasoning to it and make a
- 2:29rice bowl a curry rice bowl You can
- 2:31have three different meals But only having to
- 2:35meal prep once also make sure that your
- 2:38food is exciting by adding different textures I
- 2:41love having some sort of crunch and then
- 2:43I like having some sort of chew I
- 2:45can't have everything the same look at the
- 2:47meals that you're having They just need to
- 2:48be revamped and I know when you're tracking
- 2:51your macros It makes it a lot easier
- 2:52if you just eat the same thing every
- 2:54day because then you can just cut and
- 2:56paste But is that worth it if you're
- 2:58feeling miserable throughout the entire process and tip
- 3:01number three is are your meals big enough?
- 3:04Are you having smaller meals?
- 3:06So then you're having more meals throughout the
- 3:09day Some people do a lot better if
- 3:11they structure their meals to have three big
- 3:14meals So you actually have a structured breakfast
- 3:16lunch and dinner so that those big meals
- 3:18Which should be loaded with carbohydrates protein and
- 3:21fats will last a little bit longer Whereas
- 3:23if you're only having like a 200 to
- 3:26300 calorie snack and calling that a meal
- 3:29Then you're gonna be hungry a lot faster.
- 3:31Whereas if each meal is about 500 to
- 3:34600 calories Then that's gonna be about 1
- 3:37,500 to 1,800 calories a day, which
- 3:39for some people that is like their deficit
- 3:41profile But that's gonna be a lot more
- 3:44filling and might get you from one meal
- 3:46to the next The other thing that I
- 3:47would have to ask you if you were
- 3:49my client is are you allowing for enough
- 3:52rest?
- 3:52Are you sleeping because obviously if you are
- 3:55getting lack of sleep or you're not letting
- 3:57your body recover that also wrecks Havoc on
- 4:00all of our hormones, especially our grayline and
- 4:02our leptin levels Which are humble hunger hormones,
- 4:05which can obviously also mess up your cravings
- 4:08and mess up your overall appetite And then
- 4:11look at your actual training are you know,
- 4:13you're in a calorie deficit Are you also
- 4:15maybe pushing a little bit too hard with
- 4:17your fitness right now?
- 4:19Are you doing cardio three to four days
- 4:22per week on top of that a really
- 4:24heavy lifting schedule?
- 4:25Your body doesn't want to be in a
- 4:27calorie deficit when it is you're literally in
- 4:30a dying phase That is not your optimal
- 4:32way of life.
- 4:33You're telling your body you're not getting enough
- 4:35calories to survive You got to get calories
- 4:37from somewhere else and that's where weight loss
- 4:39comes from so if you're adding on a
- 4:42really high intensive workouts on top of that
- 4:44and it can be a lot and that
- 4:45can also your Body is telling you I
- 4:48need to eat.
- 4:48I need more fuel because everything that you're
- 4:50putting me through Maybe you need to take
- 4:52and I'm not saying that you need to
- 4:54stop working out That's essential having a really
- 4:57good strength training program is what tells your
- 4:58body what kind of weight to lose It's
- 5:01telling your body hold on to my muscle
- 5:03mass Make sure that you're getting rid of
- 5:04my body fat and obviously it's healthy for
- 5:07our mental state There's a lot of amazing
- 5:09perks.
- 5:09We all know that but maybe you do
- 5:11need a schedule in an extra rest day
- 5:13or Maybe instead of doing three to five
- 5:16days of cardio If that's what you're doing
- 5:18cut that back and maybe do two to
- 5:20three days of cardio instead because cardio especially
- 5:23long endurance While you're doing the workout, you
- 5:26might not be hungry or even that day
- 5:27But the following day you might have elevated
- 5:30hunger cues And so maybe you need to
- 5:33back off of cardio Just while you are
- 5:35in your calorie deficit period ask yourself all
- 5:38of those things If there are any tweaks
- 5:39that you need to make and that might
- 5:40just help you However, I do want to
- 5:42say this one thing if you're in a
- 5:44calorie deficit and you're trying to lose weight
- 5:46Then it shouldn't be a surprise that you
- 5:49are gonna be a little bit hungry You
- 5:50are gonna have a little bit more food
- 5:53noise than when you are in maintenance or
- 5:55in a surplus because your body is Literally
- 5:56doing what it is supposed to be doing
- 5:59and it's telling you I'm not getting enough
- 6:01Of course, your hunger levels are gonna be
- 6:03up a little bit But that's also why
- 6:05it's so important that we're not just looking
- 6:07at the calories in there We're looking at
- 6:08the type of calories we're getting so make
- 6:10sure that you are hitting your protein I
- 6:12know everybody knows how important protein is But
- 6:15also really make sure that you're getting the
- 6:17right amount of facts as well because that'll
- 6:19help keep food more satiating So again, look
- 6:23at that and see if your macros are
- 6:25balanced out to where they need to be
- 6:26Maybe you need to just increase your fat
- 6:28intake a little bit throughout the day and
- 6:30that can help as well It is to
- 6:32be expected But if it's so loud that
