You start your diet and three weeks in you’re feeling great.
Your belly is shrinking and energy is up.
Then week four hits, the scale doesn’t budge and you you panic. So you quit and start researching a new approach.
Or you commit to building muscle and after just six weeks of eating more, lifting heavier and getting stronger, your abs disappear and you freak out. So you slash calories and dive straight back into a diet before you’ve actually built anything.
You keep bouncing between the two without ever finishing either phase properly.
That’s not a strategy.
Building a proper body takes multiple diet phases and multiple gaining phases over YEARS. In every single one, there’ll be weeks where progress stalls, where the scale goes the wrong way or you don’t hit a PB.
You need to hold your nerve, sticks to the plan, and work through the messy bits instead of hitting reset every time it gets uncomfortable.
I was the king of panic-quitting. In gaining phases, I’d eat everything, get too fat, then slash calories and do cardio like a madman until I felt like s**t. In diet phases, I’d quit the second progress slowed down.
I wasted YEARS yo-yoing because I didn’t have the patience to see a phase through properly.
That’s why I built Project X. So you don’t make the same mistakes.
You get a proper plan, accountability, and someone who’s been through it all telling you when to push and when to hold steady.
I’ve got a few spaces available for 1:1 coaching. Click the link in my bio if you’re ready to stop restarting and actually finish what you started.
