The Truth About Losing Weight: A Real Strategy That Works

Let’s get real for a second. Losing weight isn’t just about looking better. It’s about feeling like you own your body again. It’s about walking into a room with confidence, having the energy to keep up with your kids, or taking control of your health before it takes control of you.

But with so much information out there—fad diets, quick fixes, detox teas—it’s no wonder people are stuck. You don’t need another gimmick. You need a simple strategy that works and a protocol that adapts to your lifestyle.

This post gives you that strategy and outlines exactly what I work on (and practice myself) with my clients.

If you want a personalized strategy that will work for you, I can help you with customized meal plans and fitness plans. Request a plan here!

Why You’re Struggling to Lose Weight

Weight loss resistance is more common than you think, and here’s why:

  1. Your metabolism is out of sync – Constant dieting or overeating messes with metabolic flexibility.

  2. Your blood sugar is unstable – Energy crashes, cravings, and fat storage follow.

  3. You’re inflamed – Inflammation from stress, poor sleep, or processed food blocks fat loss.

  4. You’re chasing perfection – All-or-nothing diets lead to burnout. Consistency wins.

The good news? Every one of these problems has a real solution.

 

Top 3 Things You Can Do Today to Kickstart Fat Loss

1. Balance Your Meals: PFC Rule

Build every meal with Protein, Fat, and Carbs (from whole foods). This stabilizes blood sugar, prevents cravings, and increases satiety.

Example: Grilled chicken (protein), avocado (fat), and roasted sweet potato (carb).

2. Walk for 20 Minutes After Your Biggest Meal

This improves insulin sensitivity and encourages fat burning. It’s also a huge digestion booster.

3. Get Rid of the "Big 4" Inflammatory Foods

Cut these for 7 days and see what happens:

  • Seed oils (canola, soybean)

  • Refined sugar

  • Processed grains

  • Artificial sweeteners

You’ll likely lose 3-5 lbs just from reduced bloat and water retention.

 

Top 3 Supplements That Actually Work

Not all supplements are created equal. These three are backed by science and results:

1. Berberine

  • Helps regulate blood sugar

  • Supports fat metabolism

  • Alternative to Metformin in some studies

When to take: With your largest carb-containing meal.

2. Omega-3 Fish Oil (High-Quality)

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Supports hormonal balance and fat loss

  • Improves brain function and recovery

When to take: With a fat-based meal, once or twice daily.

3. Magnesium Glycinate or L-Threonate

  • Aids recovery and sleep

  • Reduces cortisol

  • Improves insulin sensitivity

When to take: Before bed.

Keep It Simple: Weight Loss in 3 Words

EAT. MOVE. SLEEP.

  • EAT: Whole foods. Prioritize protein. Ditch the processed junk.

  • MOVE: Walk every day. Lift weights 3x/week. Don’t chase perfection.

  • SLEEP: Get 7-9 hours. Sleep is when fat burning and recovery happens.

Simple doesn't mean easy. But this framework works.

Why You Need a Protocol (Not a Plan)

Plans are static. They don’t adapt when life throws curveballs.

A protocol is structured but flexible. It’s built on habits, tools, and principles that scale with you—whether you’re traveling, stressed, injured, or just busy AF.

My protocol was built through:

  • Over 20 years in the fitness industry

  • Helping real clients (parents, athletes, executives)

  • Personal experience navigating autoimmune challenges

It’s not just about weight loss. It’s about reclaiming your energy, confidence, and long-term health.

This is where my personalized and custom meal & fitness plans come in. I can create a protocol that is made specifically for you. Visit my services page to request 1-1 support.

 

Why This Is Different

You won’t find starvation tactics, excessive cardio, or cookie-cutter meal plans here. You get:

  • A sustainable fat loss model

  • Built-in flexibility for real life

  • Supplement support based on clinical data

  • Anti-inflammatory foundation

  • Daily strategies to win your day

You’re not lazy. You’re just missing the right system.

If you’re ready to take action—not someday, but today—you need to invest in a proven protocol. One that empowers you, educates you, and evolves with you.

My plans will do just that.
