@sesamestirfry: In all honesty, this might just be splitting hairs, but I think this mindset really helped me throughout my fitness journey in terms of ultimately staying consistent/ seeing progress during my recomp: Being on a diet VS being in a slight calorie deficit When I was focused on the concept of dieting, I would demonize certain foods, follow super structured plans (keto, juice cleanses, etc.) and honestly became SO obsessive with food. Everything felt very black and white. There were “good” foods and “bad” foods, foods I was “allowed” to eat and foods I wasn't and one meal that didn't fit the plan could make me feel like I had completely messed up. It was a bunch of rules I HAD to follow for X amount of time. And while the actual difference between “dieting” and a slight deficit might be pretty small, I think the FRAMING made such a huge difference for me. Instead of completely overhauling my life, being in a calorie deficit meant I would eat pretty similarly to how I already ate, just with some smarter swaps and more intentional portions. And ANYTHING can fit into your deficit with the right portions. I didn't have to stop eating out, cut out carbs, never have dessert or make completely separate meals from everyone around me. I could still eat the foods I actually enjoy while working toward my goals. For me, that shift made food feel SO much less complicated. It stopped being about “how perfect can I make my diet?” and became more about “how can I make this fit into my actual life?” free body recomp guide && 1:1 coaching in bio #petitegymgirl #asiangymgirl #bodyrecomposition #skinnyfat

Sally Vala :

so.. also dieting? I'm confused

mngsnen :

That’s what dieting means

Yueyue :

I lost 10kg in a year. Some people say it is very long time for losing 10kg but I didn’t restrict myself. Just eating regularly what my body actually need and moving more than usual. The only exercise I did was walking everyday and doing home pilates a few days in week for 20mins. Now I am 50kg and doing studio pilates. I feel wonderful

Riss :

No fr it’s crazy??? Cause like I ran, I trained, I tracked (and even OVERESTIMATED) every calorie I consumed for over a full year and lost a negligible amount of weight. So I gave up and just started eating what I want whenever I’m hungry and inadvertently that caused me to de-center food, stop seeing it as a reward/scarcity, stop using it as a coping mechanism, and improved my relationship with food. Then before I realize it I’m down 20 pounds out of NOWHERE without trying. I wish I had been paying attention and started lifting during it cause the recomp could have been crazy!

StevenYooHoo :

High protien, high fiber, low inflammatory, carb cycling. Slight caloric deficit. That is the way.
