Sharing some meal inspo 🙌🏼 These are meals I’ve been eating on repeat the last few weeks!

I’m currently in a calorie deficit, so my big focus is on protein and fiber to help with satiety and digestion.

If you have questions, drop them below 👇🏻

Changes that I made to stop over eating at night.

Changes that I made to stop over eating at night.

While everyone is different in how they schedule their meals, and the frequency in which they eat, I can say these are the things that worked for me. And I struggled with not only over eating, but binging for years. Always in the evening.

Planning is key. Making sure you have protein and fiber as the foundation of your meals will help most with feeling full. Making sure to incorporate fats will make them taste better and be more satisfying.

I recommend not skipping meals, or saving up calories by not eating as much throughout the day. This almost always backfired on me.

These tips are more centered around being in a fat loss phase where you are restricting calories. So yes, hunger is normal and expected, and not an emergency. But you can absolutely diet in a way that you feel great, fuel yourself well, and can still eat food you love, while losing body fat.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Zucchini Taco Bowl You’

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Zucchini Taco Bowl

You’ll need:
4oz 96/4 beef
200g zucchini
65g (1/4 cup) black beans (I use no salt added)
62g (1/4 cup) corn (I use canned)
62g (1/4 cup) rotel (I use no salt added)
Taco seasoning to taste
28g reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese
16g Ole El Paso queso blanco sauce
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
*optional: jalapeños

How to make:

Add beef to a pan and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Once brown, drain grease, then add a little water and mix in taco seasoning. Then stir in rotel. Let simmer on low heat.

Dice zucchini into chunks, spray lightly with cooking spray, then salt & pepper. Add to a skillet on medium heat. Cook 5-6 minutes, until slightly softened.

Drain and rinse the corn and black beans then add to the zucchini. (This just heats them.)

Add beef mixture to the veggies. Once combined, top with shredded cheese. I also add a drizzle of queso sauce and jalapeños.

These are prep friendly.

Loaded Sloppy Joe Bowl

You’ll need:
4oz lean ground beef (I used 96/4)
200g zucchini
100g sweet potato
64g (4tbsp) no sugar added ketchup

1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
28g reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper
*Optional pickled onions

How to make:

Dice zucchini and sweet potato into chunks, spray lightly with cooking spray, then salt & pepper. I add sweet potatoes to my air fryer on 400 for 12 minutes. At around the 5-6 minute mark, I add the zucchini into the air fryer with the sweet potatoes. (If you have a dual air fryer, you can cook sweet potatoes 12 minutes, zucchini around 5-6 minutes.)

In a small bowl mix together ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and swerve. Mix well and set to side.

Add 4oz of beef to a pan and season with salt and pepper. Once brown, drain grease. Pour in sauce mixture and simmer on low until veggies are cooked.

Why walking is my favorite form of cardio for fat

Why walking is my favorite form of cardio for fat loss.

Walking = more movement, less stress, less hunger

1. Less hunger, making it easier to adhere to your calorie deficit. High-impact cardio is more glycolytic- it burns more carbs for fuel and can trigger a noticeable increase in hunger. Feel ravenous after cardio or cardio based classes? This is why.

2. Walking is low-impact, low-stress, and doesn’t spike cortisol like HIIT or long endurance cardio can, which can lead to inflammation.

3. It doesn’t interfere with your recovery. That means you can walk daily without sacrificing performance in your lifts or burning out.

4. It’s easy to be consistent with and build a routine around. You don’t need equipment, or a gym. Walking can happen during work breaks, on the phone, with your dogs or kids. This is especially helpful when you’re trying to burn more calories without taxing your body.

5. Post-meal walks help with digestion and blood sugar control—key for reducing bloating, stabilizing energy, and preventing blood sugar crashes that lead to cravings.

Often we think we’ve hit a plateau when in reality we just got a little sloppy with our tracking.

Swipe for 3 things I do when dieting to keep fat loss moving.

These are especially important when you are down to your last 5-10lbs, (or are starting with just a few pounds to lose). You’re often running on less calories than you started your diet with, so accuracy needs to be on point 👌🏻

My tips for a successful fat loss phase. These are

My tips for a successful fat loss phase. These are things I do, as well as teach my clients.

👉🏻Focus on calories & protein.
Calories drive weight loss/weight gain. Adequate protein intake helps to build and sustain muscle.
This means when you’re in a calorie deficit, eating adequate protein, you’ll be losing fat.

👉🏻Incorporate strength training into your workout plan. I recommend 3-5 days of weight training, following a plan designed for progressive overload.
This means following the same plan for anywhere from 4-8 weeks (will vary by your experience level) and tracking your progress on those exercises to get stronger, have better form, more control, etc.

👉🏻Set a step goal. As we diet, our bodies do anything possible to conserve energy because it recognizes less energy (food/ calories) coming in. Having a step goal creates awareness around your daily movement outside of your normal exercise. This can help to avoid weight loss plateaus.

👉🏻Understand that you WILL have to make compromises when you’re dieting.
Every weekend can’t be a special occasion. Being consistent with your calorie deficit is how you will see weight loss. This means choosing your dieting phases during times that will allow for your greatest adherence. (Typically avoid holidays & vacations)

👉🏻Have patience! This is easier said than done. You will not lose weight every week. So you can’t jump ship after only 2-4 weeks. Even when it seems like nothing is happening, it is! The small changes compound.

Weight loss and fat loss are not the same. Weight

Weight loss and fat loss are not the same.

Weight loss can be water, glycogen, stomach content (bowel movement), muscle, tissue, or fat. This is why the goal should be changing your body composition. Losing fat while maintaining or even building muscle.
