I’m sharing the TMN approach for helping our clients lose weight regardless of their current lifestyle or past challenges with weight loss. If you apply all the methods I share in this episode, you will likely see results! That being said, we work with our clients to implement just one of these tips at a time so they don’t get super overwhelmed and quit one week in.

It’s so important to take a holistic approach to address all these different areas. The foundation of weight loss is burning more calories than you consume. Your body burns a certain amount of calories per day just to exist (this is your basal metabolic rate or BRM) and a certain amount of calories to maintain your weight based on your weight and average activity level. (these are your maintenance calories). Your daily calorie intake should be between these two numbers. Protein is the powerhouse macro for weight loss because it helps you increase your metabolism over time, your body burns more calories digesting it than other macros, and it keeps you fuller for longer. Aim to eat one serving of protein at every meal. Hi! I’m Illa (MS, RDN) and I am a Registered Dietitian who provides weight loss coaching for millennials.
