#256 the mindset & expectations of fatloss and building muscle for BEST results / Nikias Tomasiello

@nikias_fittotransform  -  Fit to Transform Podcast - fittotransformtraining.com @transformxruby - Your total effort level that you give reduces Body critique even as you get to your leanest not out of it But the thing is I want to go back to where you mentioned the people with a lot of body fat that also have the mindset and habits holding them back Focusing on not dieting doesn’t meal not losing weight, it means shifting your focus but having actions aligned for fatloss + another focus point You know its going to take longer than you want it to anyway so chasing something tangible & exciting is important Resassurance What to expect Kilos to be kickass You cant thrive on 1500 calories You will never thrive without carbs You will struggle to get to the gym bc things feel hard Your energy isn’t all there People you see say they train hard blah blah but still acnt see gains, glutes cant grow blah lah The same people are trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time People are impatient enough You make it harder with this approach Chase performance, hard to do when you don’t have strategy, or someone to show you where to look You still need to be intentional outside of dieting so you don't gain too much fat Sometimes a coaches job is to just stop yuou doing dub crap like changing your macros as a knee jerk reaction The process of a true transformation Is phasic And they get easier over time as you gain more experience But you ned consistency not only optimizing things here and there Your life is in flux. Adapt your targets to the season of life you are in The missing part in a transformation is usually allowing yourself long enough to build Mindsets that hold you back from building the body you want Being afraid to eat more consistently for long enough but why you need to Not dieting doesnt always mean getting into a surplus… if you still have alot of bodyfat, you can build in maintenance but otherwise a slight surplus will serve you better You still need to be intentional outside of dieting so you don't gain too much fat Things you need to let go of The identity crisis you can have in not being “a dieter” or “chasing fatloss” anymore How it can feel worse before it feels better What to focus on & how to train for optimal results How body image isnt about a look or number perse but something deeper Shifts you need to make to build muscle, lose fat and keep your results long term What you do to lose the weight isn’t what you to do keep it off But your lifestyle • Fear that its going to be the rest of their life • It feels too hard • The commitment is the hard part because it feels too long • Its hard at first and there are a lot of tradeoffs, youll have to say no… people are unwilling to say  no Why its important to have a coach outside of a fatloss phase But also in one If you do it the right way, the after phase will be so much easier to transition out of have give you Any transition is hard Any transition between phases Identity crisis Identity of a dieter Always on a diet always struggling to lose weight
