Weight loss is a journey filled with ups and downs, influenced by everything from water retention to hormones, age, and your unique metabolic quirks.
Jumping ship too soon? That could mean missing out on the success you’re so close to achieving.
Here’s the thing: Temporary weight fluctuations are completely normal. What matters is focusing on the overall downward trend—just like in the chart below:
Let’s talk about patience (or, to be more precise, the lack of it).
Impatience is a common pitfall when it comes to progress. If that sounds like you, don’t worry—you’re not alone! In fact, it’s one of the most frequent beginner’s mistakes with intermittent fasting. We all want to see quick results, but before you give up, let’s explore why the app might not have met your expectations and how we can turn things around together. We’ve crafted a holistic strategy that includes effective adjustments and shows you how to get the most out of your Coach subscription.
Your Simple Recipe for Success
1️⃣ Connect with Your Goals
Every journey starts with a goal. Set a realistic, achievable goal weight within the app. Outline what success looks like for you, and let the Coach tailor a plan that aligns perfectly with your aspirations.
2️⃣ Stick with Your Personal Fasting Program
The Coach spends the first two weeks of your journey getting to know YOU—your preferences, habits, and goals. Based on this, the Coach will create fasting plans that are even better suited to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively.
What does that mean? It’s crucial to stick with your program and not give up too early.
3️⃣ Optimize Your Pre- and Post-Fasting Meals
Your meals before and after fasting are vital for your progress. These meals provide essential nutrients, sustain energy levels, keep you full, and support your metabolism during fasting periods.
How can you optimize this? Explore the recipes included in your subscription! You’ll find a variety of delicious, suitable choices in the recipe tab of the app. Use the “before fasting” and “after fasting” filters to find the perfect meals for these key times.
4️⃣ Boost Your Motivation and Progress
Did you know your subscription includes access to weekly challenges and daily Coachings? The challenges are a fantastic way to build new, healthy habits—whether it’s improving your nutrition, increasing your activity level, reducing stress, or practicing mindfulness.
The daily Coachings are there to keep you motivated long-term (but only if you read them 😉) and provide additional success hacks to keep you on track.
5️⃣ Track Your Progress Accurately
Weighing yourself alone often doesn’t give the full picture of your progress, as weight can fluctuate due to hormonal changes, nutrition, or water intake.
Here’s a better strategy to measure your progress:
- Weigh yourself no more than once a week—naked and after your morning routine.
- Take your body measurements 1-2 times per month. Chest, waist, and hips are a great start. Get some help if needed.
- Enter your measurements into the BodyFast app. You’ll find measurement instructions there, too, making it easy to track your progress.
- Remember, numbers aren’t everything. Look for other changes, like improvements in your skin, digestion, sleep, hunger levels, and more.
- Stay realistic and avoid comparing yourself to others. Every body is different, and every week is unique. And that’s a good thing!
6️⃣ Embrace Relaxation
Stress is one of the biggest obstacles to weight loss because it can slow down fat burning. Combat stress with self-care—try a warm bath, yoga, a soothing massage, a nature walk, or just a relaxed stroll. Syncing your body and mind is crucial for achieving optimal results.
Looking for effective ways to relax? Scroll through the mindfulness challenges available in the app. You’ll find plenty of ideas to help you unwind.
7️⃣ Stay Hydrated
Let the app calculate your optimal daily water intake and aim to hit that goal every day!
Why is drinking enough water so crucial? Your body needs water for the chemical process of lipolysis—essentially, fat burning. In short, if you’re not drinking enough water, the scales might not move either.
8️⃣ Make Patience Your Superpower
As we mentioned earlier, impatience can be a sneaky saboteur, especially in fasting.
Always remember that sustainable, healthy weight loss isn’t a sprint; it’s a journey. Stay calm, trust the process, and let the Coach be your guide. The Coach evolves with you, offering a personalized experience tailored to your unique needs.
Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Be a Struggle
…especially not with intermittent fasting and BodyFast! Your BodyFast journey is more than just a subscription; it’s a commitment to your well-being and health. It’s about making small, consistent changes that lead to significant results. The Coach is here to amplify your efforts and guide you every step of the way.
