Did I get you?! 😂🤫

We’re breaking up with crash dieting this year guys! And if you have a weight loss goal this year let me teach you how to do it in a healthy way SO YOU CAN KEEP IT OFF.

So you don’t have to panic diet before every event. So you no longer have to cry in the dressing room bc you hate what you see.

So you can focus on living your life and being strong for years to come instead of constantly losing and gaining the same 10 lbs over and over again. That is frustrating AF…and when my coaching program sustainably snatched exists? Completely unnecessary.

Comment confident and I’ll send you a DM to chat about how sustainably snatched can get you 1-2 pant sizes and 10-35 lbs down before your next event but more importantly being able to KEEP those results long term 💪

1 year of teaching and here’s what I actually learned:

Not every class will be full.
Not everyone will like your style.

But the right people will find you—especially when you stop trying to be what you think they want.

Also… effort matters.

You can “just vibe” all you want, but if you’re not prepared, not on beat, and not intentional with your coaching… people feel that too.

There’s a difference between being authentic and being careless.

The magic is in doing both:
showing up as yourself and giving a damn about the experience.

Also there’s room for cardio AND strength training - both are important and if we can make both fun then people will want to exercise for life 😊

If you’re in the Lombard area and would like to try a class at DM me! 🫶🚴‍♀️

I used to say the gym didn’t need to be your entire personality in order to be in the best shape of your life.

And it doesn’t….BUT it DOES need to be PART of your personality. Your identity.

Starting today - you aren’t lazy. You can be tired but you’re still dedicated.

You are someone who prioritizes the gym.

You are someone who lifts weights!

And then prove to yourself you are that person by taking that first step.

Need help taking that first step to actually shifting this belief so you can be consistent 👉 so you can finally be in the best shape of your life?

My 1:1 coaching program Sustainably Snatched is for you!

In this program we take the guesswork out of the weight room so you can show up and get it done. And I teach you how to fuel YOUR body to see muscle gain and body fat loss - no cutting carbs required.

This year you really can be in the best shape of your life - apply through the link in my bio 💪

The just released their new systematic review where they analyzed over 30,000 participants!!

And one of the things they said did NOT contribute to more strength or more muscle gain was training to failure.

That doesn’t mean we don’t need effort though💪

That doesn’t mean we don’t need effort though. This is how I cue my clients to know if they are training hard enough 💪

Go to part 2 to see what training to absolute failure looks like and if anyone tells you you NEED to train to failure - tell them to read the updated research 💁‍♀️

The research confirmed what I’ve been teaching for 10 years 🙌💪

(although I will admit that finding time under tension and training to failure to not increase strength and muscle outcomes was slightly surprising to me - but that’s science for ya, it’s ever changing and evolving 👏)

The research also confirmed that there is NO AGE LIMIT to gain in the benefits of strength training (muscle building included 👏) this should feel empowering! But just like with investing - the sooner you start the better.

This is my client Krystal. She didn’t just lose body fat although she lost 40 lbs, multiple pant sizes, has visible abs and needed to get her wedding dress seriously altered!

More importantly, she stopped spiraling after weekends.

She stopped forcing herself to run and do endless cardio with nothing to show for it.

She stopped avoiding the weight room because she felt like she “didn’t belong”.

She stopped labeling foods as “good” or “bad”.

She stopped starting over after every holiday, after every vacation, after a night out with friends.

And that’s the shift that changes everything.

Because you don’t need to be perfect to see results - but you do need to be consistent.

Crash diets and most workout plans are RIGID. And what you need is something that’s flexible. Something that works with real busy lives.

If that sounds like what you need then the Diet Rebellion Masterclass on Monday March 16th at 7 pm CST is for you!

During this FREE hour long session via Zoom I’ll teach you:

• Exactly why crash diets sabotage your progress so you can break up with them for good
• What’s true and what’s false when it comes to fat loss
• And the techniques I use with clients to increase their metabolism naturally, see body fat loss, muscle tone, and KEEP the weight off FOR GOOD

Come learn what’s possible for you when you trade in perfection for consistency and you can see results like Krystal!

One of the biggest turning points in my life is when I realized that I wasn’t “bad with food.”

I was just exhausted from trying to “be good”.

I’d restrict.
I’d binge.
I’d promise myself I’d be better next week.

And it wasn’t because I didn’t care or I lacked discipline— It was because no one ever taught me how to eat in a way that allowed for real life.

Not the perfectly curated Gwenneth Paltrow version of “health”.

I needed a plan that didn’t kick my food shame into full gear.

I didn’t even know that a diet could allow for food that tasted good. That allowed for fun.
Alcohol.
Dessert.
Weekend plans.
Vacation.

This is where macro tracking totally changed the game for me.

Once I stopped trying to eat clean and started learning what my body’s actual needs were, everything changed. I was finally able to be consistent and I no longer felt food guilt!

That’s why I teach fat loss without cutting out foods.
And why my clients love their lives AND see results.
And why they don’t rebound.

You don’t need another 4 week reset, detox, or to do weight watchers for the millionth time. You don’t need to cut carbs or sugar.

You need a method that doesn’t require you to disappear from your life.

This is where the Diet Rebellion Masterclass on Monday March 16th at 7 PM CST via Zoom comes in. I’m pulling back the veil on how I saw fat loss, kept it off, and how I help my clients do the same without crash dieting 👏

Crash dieting works…until it doesn’t.

Until Friday comes.

Until you get a sugar craving so intense you eat an entire bag of Reese’s eggs.

Until you gain all the weight you lost back once the diet is done or no longer maintainable.

It’s not a YOU issue. It’s the method.

In my diet rebellion masterclass I’m not only teaching you how to incorporate all foods into your diet so you can see results BUT I’m teaching you how to MAINTAIN your results.

Because you’ll need to be in a calorie deficit to see results but you don’t need to STAY in a deficit to keep them - this is where most people get stuck. There’s no POST diet strategy.

Well not anymore - I’m walking you through the step by step process I take myself and my clients through - FOR FREE.

Comment “rebel” and I’ll send you the link to sign up for class!
