All The Mistakes I Made As A 20 Year Old 🤡
Dieting doesn’t suck. How most people do it sucks.
When I was a teenager I cut my calories to 1500cals per day and lost a huge amount of weight.
16kg (85kg to 69kg).
On those 1500cals, I tried eat one meal per day.
I tried the 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol.
I tried to a low carb approach.
I even went more extreme and did cardio.
I cut sleep to workout more and ‘get more done’ although deep down, I felt like shit but pushed through.
I trained twice per day. Gym in the morning and a run at night.
I saw foods as "good" and "bad" and didn’t eat foods that I saw as bad foods (like ice cream, donuts, pizza, burgers etc).
Hell, I even thought bread was a bad food.
The only difference between how I used to diet and how I diet now (and the thousands of clients I have coached) is education.
Knowing what works and applying it.
I don’t over restrict myself with my calories. I eat as much as I can whilst still losing weight.
I don’t over restrict my foods. I eat delicious foods regularly (about 20% of my diet).
I don’t workout more than I can recover from.
I don’t cut sleep to workout more. I let myself sleep more because I’m better for it the next day.
I don’t cut carbs to try and speed up weight loss because I know that the size of the calorie deficit determines the rate of weight loss, not the amount of carbs (if calories and protein are matched).
My effort hasn’t increased just the knowledge of what I’m doing.
If you’re not getting the results you want to don’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
That's the definition of insanity.
Learn. Apply. Learn. Apply. Learn. Apply.
Repeat.
And the "Learn" is where I spend most of my time and energy on in Team Brock Ashby giving all of my clients access to hours and hours and thousands of dollars of educational content all wrapped up in easy to digest videos.
*yes, I posted this this morning on instagram. If you read it this morning, you clearly needed to read it again!
