Alright, let’s talk about it—because I know how frustrating it is to put in the work, stay consistent, and still see zero movement on the scale. You’re showing up, following the plan (or at least, it feels like you are), getting your workouts in, making smart food choices—and yet, nothing’s changing.

So what’s the problem?

99 times out of 100, the issue is that you’re not actually sticking to your nutrition plan as closely as you think. And before you get defensive—this happens to almost everyone, including me. You think you’re on track, but when you go back and track every single thing you eat, you’ll usually find that you were eating more than you realized.

Don’t beat yourself up about it—our brains are sneaky like that.

Step One: Follow Your Plan Diligently for 3 Weeks

Before you even think about tweaking your plan, here’s what you need to do first:

✅ Follow your plan 100% for 3 weeks. No tweaks, no adjustments—just full commitment.

✅ Track every single thing you consume. And I mean everything—

• The oil and butter in the pan

• The splash of milk in your coffee

• The sauces and dressings

• The handful of nuts

• The sneaky bites while preparing dinner

It might feel tedious, I get it. But this is the step that actually solves the problem. If you skip this and start looking for other solutions first, it’s like trying to fix a leaky boat without checking where the hole is. If that means meal prepping more so you’re not grabbing food on the go, do it.

Your Plan Only Works If You Stick to It

It’s so easy to start looking elsewhere when the scale isn’t moving:

🔹 Maybe I need a different workout?

🔹 Maybe I should eat more?

🔹 Maybe I should start fasting?

🔹 Maybe it’s my hormones/metabolism/the universe working against me?

No. Not yet. Before we start tweaking anything, you have to be 100% sure you’ve actually followed your plan consistently. Because if you haven’t? Making changes now is just going to make things even more confusing.

The Bottom Line: Stick to the Plan First

If the scale isn’t moving, start here:

1️⃣ Follow your program exactly for 3 weeks.

2️⃣ Track every single thing you eat. No estimating, no “I think that was about a tablespoon.” Log it all. Use a food scale.

3️⃣ Be brutally honest with yourself—are you really, truly on track?

If you do this 100% correctly and still see no progress, then we can talk about adjustments. But pretty much every time? This step alone is what fixes everything.

I know it’s frustrating, but I promise—if you dial in your tracking, things will start to click. You’ve got this.
