My client lost 12 lbs in 8 weeks working a corporate job! Here's what actually made the difference

She was a 34-year-old project manager who had tried every diet. She was eating 1400 calories and going to the gym 4x a week and the scale wasn't moving.The problem wasn't effort. It was that her cortisol was through the roof from work stress, and the intense cardio was making it worse.We cut her cardio in half, added 200 more calories of protein, and added a 10-minute evening walk. In 8 weeks she dropped 12 lbs and said she felt less exhausted than she had in years.Sometimes doing less is the answer. Happy to answer any questions!

If you have a 9-5 job and keep falling off your diet, try this one trick

I coach busy professionals online and the #1 reason they fail is decision fatigue. They come home from work exhausted and the last thing they want to do is figure out what to eat.

The fix: Pick 3 "default meals," one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner, that you can rotate without thinking. You don't have to eat them every day, but on your worst, most exhausted days, you have a default that keeps you on track.

My clients who do this lose weight consistently even during their busiest work weeks. Hope this helps someone!
