I canโt tell you how many times I hear people almost bragging about how low their calories are...itโs like letting you know how much they are suffering makes them feel superior to othersโฃ
โฃ
โLook how low my calories are. Oh wow I am exhausted and starving but Iโm still grinding everyday.โ โฃ
โฃ
Letโs get one thing straight...the goal should not be to lose weight on the lowest amount of calories, it should be to lose the most weight on the HIGHEST calories possible. โฃ
Youโre not tough if youโre super low...nobody cares.
โฃ
Now does that mean during times like prep at the very end your calories wonโt be really low? No, they probably will be, but too many people donโt realize the difference between dieting for fat loss and dieting for contest prep...they are NOT one in the same.โฃ
โฃ
People will inquire about coaching with me and I really feel some times that they are trying to โshow offโ how low their calories are...well guess what? If I see calories really low and youโre not losing much weight I as a coach donโt see that as you working hard...I as a coach see that as you destroying your leptin levels and lowering metabolism overall. โฃ
โฃ
I know in the industry you see and hear people talk about their โ1100 calorie FDOE,โ or prep on 1500 calories. โฃ
โฃ
Itโs important for the general public to under they are doing that for a specific goal and for a VERY short period of time restively speaking โฃ
โฃ
If you think you can sustain any quality of life on sub 1200 calories for long your sorely mistaken...and if youโre around 10 calories per lbs of LBM and not seeing much weight loss (or none at all), you arenโt going to lose by dropping lower...you probably need a diet break or to start reversing out.โฃ
