Chasing being smaller, doing endless cardio and eating less and less but not feeling strong, lean or confident with your body…. I’ve been there, and many of my clients.
You don’t fix skinny fat by eating less.
You don’t fix skinny fat by adding more cardio.
What you should be doing is:
- Lifting heavy and building muscle
- Fueling your body with enough FOOD
- Hitting your protein target
Yes, sometimes means eating more than you’re used to.
And yes, the scale might even go up a little, but that doesn’t mean you’re “getting fat”. It could be muscle, water, glycogen… the things that will eventually make you feel and look better.
Stop fearing the scale. Start fueling and training for strength (doesn’t mean you have to get rid of cardio btw!)
And that’s how you break out of a skinny fat cycle.
Don’t be afraid to try something different if the old way isn’t working out for you.
