1. I stopped thinking I just needed to WORK HARDER
Working harder often meant sacrificing my health - less sleep, more pushing, and expecting myself to just keep going.
Discovering my Fat Loss Archetype helped me uncover what was really getting in the way of fat loss, beyond nutrition and exercise, and the pattern that kept showing up when I was stressed, tired or life got hard.

2. I stopped trying to fast my way lean
I don’t fast beyond 14 hours.
I eat my first meal within 1–2 hours of waking and prioritise 30–50g of protein.
Waiting until I’m ravenous makes everything harder.
3. I hydrate before I caffeinate
Water before coffee.
I add lemon and a pinch of Celtic salt. Simple habit that helps me start the day hydrated and changed my energy considerably.
4. I stopped training x5–6 times p/wk and started moving more
I’m a mum of two, my husband and I both run businesses, and cramming more workouts into my week isn’t sustainable.
I strength train x3 p/wk and prioritise steps. Walking helps me clear my head and make staying lean easier without exhausting me.
5. I stopped prioritising what didn’t keep me full for longer
Less protein bars, protein yoghurts and low-calorie snacks.
I still eat them occasionally, but for the most part I prioritise whole-food protein (meat, eggs, fish) and meals that fill me up.
I’m more satisfied, no food noise, and don’t need to pick or snack between meals.
6. I changed WHEN I eat my carbs
I feel better starting the day with 30–50g protein, healthy fats and fibre mainly from fruit and vegetables.
I still eat potato, rice and other complex carbs every day - post training and with dinner.
7. I treat sleep as part of my plan
Better sleep makes hunger, cravings, training, recovery, energy and food choices easier.
I can tell you all 7 things I do.
But the game-changer is understanding what YOU need - and what keeps getting in the way.
And that’s the part calorie counting won’t show you.
