People always ask me, “Is x food good for weight loss?” and my answer is always, “It depends. “Shakes are a great example of something that can work for everyone. Depending on what you add, and how much you add, a smoothie/protein shake can be great for weight loss/gain or maintenance. They can also used as a snack or to …
Two different ways to meal prep for two I’ve seen a lot of “his” and “her” meals with pretty different calories, and I’m always like, “I want his” haha! For the last couple of months, I make our meals identical despite Vitali being taller and weighting 45 pounds more than me. I find it so much easier to meal prep …
With summer approaching I’ve been getting a lot of DMs from people struggling to lose weight. “I’m not losing weight even though i’m only eating X calories.” Some of these involve some incredibly extreme calories like 1000 or 1200 calories a day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In my experience, the reason most people don’t lose weight is because they aren’t actually in a …
While scrolling through social media you might forget that 100% people struggle with motivation at some point. I don’t care who you are, it isn’t always easy.

What do you guys think about this? I went to Starbucks the other week because it was hot and I had no ice, or tea. Fail. I attempted to order my usual, “Venti Passion iced tea, unsweetened, ez ice”. But, alas, Starbucks has joined the list of establishments that has removed the one things I order from the menu. I …

Two and a half years ago I could barely do a single sad push up. I definitely couldn’t do a single chin up or pull up. I could barely press the Olympic bar, and I got winded walking up stairs. The improvements in my strength and endurance didn’t happen over night. They happened as a result of over 600+ gym …
You absolutely do not have to weigh your food to get results. In fact, unless I’m specifically working towards something, I eyeball my portion sizes based on what I know from tracking macros for so long. It’s also super important to consider on your relationship with food before you start weighing things. If you struggle with a healthy body image …
