The weight loss journey can be an uphill battle, filled with setbacks, frustration, and self-doubt. However, with the right mindset and approach, progress is always possible.
In a new Instagram post, weight loss coach Ann-Maria Tom explains how drinking coffee for breakfast, chugging wine, and eating leftovers for dinner might hinder weight loss efforts. She also explained how unhealthy diet choices could be responsible for you not losing weight despite being in a calorie deficit.
She said, “Here’s why you are not losing weight: Breakfast is coffee, lunch is salad and fish, intense craving at 4pm leads to coffee and cookies, dinner is leftovers and then chug wine as you deserve it.”
Ann-Maria added, “Most of you say ‘I am in a deficit and eat healthy’. Then why are you not losing weight? You eat like s*** and don’t want to admit it. You clearly have no clue what you are doing… I DID THIS FOR 6 years and it is not a sign of knowledge. It’s the opposite.”
Here’s what you should do
- If you eat two eggs for breakfast and toast, replace that toast with three slices of Kodiak waffles or pancakes. These are high in carbs and protein and will keep you full for longer. You can even pre-made this and put it in the freezer.
- Instead of eating chicken and salad or yoghurt all the time, thaw crab meat… add this to your salad.
- Or even add this to your crackers and eat as a snack for a high-protein snack.
- Fill half your plate with high-fullness index foods (foods that can help you feel fuller for longer). Fullness index of more than 200.
- Add bone broth to your supper.
Always seek the advice of your doctor with any questions about a medical condition. Always consult a doctor before starting any routine.
