We are not our thoughts, we are the creator of the thoughts. We are not

Vanessa G Fitcast ·

2024/09/16

There are ways to induce fat loss without tracking calories or macros... I do still believe that tracking calories and/or macros is a great way to lose fat because it will teach you lifelong tools that help you maintain the fat loss… It's the best way to learn proper portion sizes, make sure you’re consistently eating in a calorie deficit to lose body fat, but also making sure you’re not undereating and slowing down your metabolism. However, it can be really difficult for people who are dieting on

Vulnerability moment: I don’t like talking about this because I get in my head thinking that sharing about my mental health struggles discredits me as a coach, but I know that more people struggle with anxiety or depression and feel alone and in the dark about it than not, and I hope that these tips are helpful for those of you, and also gives an example of how you can have these tendencies but that doesn’t mean that it’s your identity, and you can still achieve everything you want to achieve

It's that time of year again and this year, it's time to make your health and fitness a priority... Summer can be a more lenient time when it comes to our health and nutrition habits (I find myself ordering out more and going out to restaurants more too) but as the kids go back to school and you're settling into a new routine, if you want to make your health a priority, it starts with momentum.

Today's episode is a question we get a lot with a nuanced answer you deserve to hear... There's a large psychological mistake that isn't your fault that many women struggle with when it comes to getting to their goal weight. The number 1 mistake is you’re probably making is having unrealistic expectations⁣.⁣Losing body fat takes longer than you want⁣ and you didn’t gain fat in a month so don’t expect it to fall off⁣ in a month (honesty is the best policy here).

Eating in a calorie deficit will allow you to lose weight but there's a caveat... If the body were as simple as most make it out to be on social media, eating little calories would result in weight loss every time right? The body is smarter than this and its primary job is keeping us alive. This is where our hormones come into play and why weight loss is more complicated than most people think especially SUSTAINED weight loss.

As humans, it's normal for our confidence to ebb and flow but are there things we can do or questions to ask ourselves when our confidence is low? We recently had our Vital Spark team retreat and it was so amazing to see everyone in person, laugh, play, and share our vision for the future.
