Every single one of my fat loss clients lost weight this week & they have all been doing this…
Eating mostly the same foods.
More structure & routine.
Specifically during the week.
Here’s a quote from 1 of my clients:
‘Planning meals soooo helps decision fatigue.
I have had the same dinner 6 out of 7 nights and not got bored as my life is exciting.
- meals don't need to be different all the time
- if I want variety I can select something funky to wear the next day at work :-)’
Most people will find fat loss a hell of a lot easier if they embrace structure and discipline and eating mostly the same meals mid week.
It means you think about it less.
Do you HAVE to do this? No and can mix it up every day if you really want but will it make fat loss a lot easier? Yes.
This is especially if you are someone who struggles with decision fatigue and find yourself making poor or impulsive decisions especially as the day goes on. The key is to make the decisions before, when your brain is fresh and then just follow through with them later. Take away the decisions from times you know you make poor choices.
Here is a simple frame work:
Pick a breakfast, lunch and snack that aligns with your goals.
I always like to leave a little more flexibility for dinner but within a calories bracket (this will be dependent on your energy needs and goals)
I call it the 3:1 method and I talk about it more here.
You can shift this if you’re eating out for lunch and have lunch as your more flexible meal - the principle is simply 3 structured meals aligned with your goals and 1 more flexible meal within a appropriate calorie bracket.
People who commit to this get great results.
