How to "Cut" Calories Properly to Maximize Results Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Today I want to chat with you all about CUTTING. And what I mean when I say "cutting" is cutting the amount of calories you eat daily. This is actually an extremely important topic for us to discuss, as most women, when they want to lose weight, go about it in the wrong way.

To get real with you, the way most women like to go about their "cut" actually slows down their metabolism, making it SO much harder for them to lose weight. So if you're looking to cut back, there is science to it that you need to know in order to do it safely and effectively, which I'll be sharing with you in this episode of Embrace Your Real!

Show notes

I saw this quote the other day and it really hit the nail on the head it said: Switch your mentality from "I'm broken and helpless" to "I'm growing and healing" and watch how fast your life changes for the better.

And sister, this couldn't be any more true. The stories we tell ourselves become our reality. If you take anything away from this episode, literally, I want it to be that. That is the MOST important thing you need to know. But that means identifying the stories we are telling ourselves is the most important thing we need to DO if we want to change our reality. Make sense?

We have a tendency to focus on everything that can go wrong instead of focusing on everything that could go right.
The worse you can do is end up back where you are now.
Failing is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success.
There is no such thing as failure, there are only results.
Struggling and failing is not the same.
