245 - How to Avoid Accidental Maintenance

If your goal has been fat loss for months, but the scale keeps landing in the exact same 5 pound range, this episode is about the gap between those two things.   I call it accidental maintenance.   Your intention is fat loss… but working hard all week and loose all weekend adds up to the exact same static outcome as an intentional maintenance phase, minus every benefit that phase is actually supposed to give your body. I recorded this one from a live coaching call inside Look Like You Train, because I think almost everyone listening has spent time here.   In this episode I walk through the four places accidental maintenance actually lives. Your mindset, and why the identity work has to come before the meal plan. Your systems, promise-keeping, biweekly check-ins, and a real plan for the meals that fall outside your routine. Your environment, and what the research says about willpower versus a room that's already working against you. And the practical leaks nobody talks about, compensatory eating, alcohol, sleep, and recalibrating your calories as you actually lose, not on a fixed schedule.   I'm also sharing some of the research that convicted me while I was prepping this one, including a stat that stopped me in my tracks, people underreport what they actually eat by an average of 47 percent. If you've been doing everything and still not seeing it move, this episode is for you.     Thank you for being here — whether this is your first episode or you’ve been with me since Episode 1.We’re not chasing perfect.We’re choosing anchored. If this episode resonated with you:Share it with someone who needs it.Leave a review.DM me on IG and tell me which lesson hit home. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five-star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox. https://lovethepodcast.com/f!it! Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IG https://www.instagram.com/amy_ledin/Amy on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/curlsandwhey/Lean Bodies Consulting on IG https://www.instagram.com/leanbodiesconsulting/Lean Bodies Consulting on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LBCOnlineCoachingJoin Our Free Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/1504151319884719Resources: LBC Food Calculator: https://leanbodiesconsulting.com/food-calculator/Join our group coaching program: LLYT https://leanbodiesconsulting.biz/looklikeyoutrainDownload My Free Meal Plan https://leanbodiesconsulting.biz/meal-plan-opt-in-146620Take The LBC Training Quiz https://leanbodiesconsulting.biz/training-diagnostic-quiz-pageLean Bodies Consulting Website for coaching https://leanbodiesconsulting.com/5 Common Mistakes Women Over 40 Make That Lead to Belly Fat https://youtu.be/oOA9YkE6A60How To Create A Health Character https://youtu.be/0nqJ8KiPmq8The Training Audit For Women Over 40 https://youtu.be/Y3VfEEV4C3MDownload your free copy of our meal plan that will test the deficit at 11x bodyweight: https://leanbodiesconsulting.biz/meal-plan-opt-in-146620 #5for50 #5for50FamilyEdition #AmyLedin #AmyLedin.com #ErikLedin #LeanBodiesConsulting #LBC #Kamele #KamelePerez #Kainoa #KainoaPerez  DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.
