I just completed a 12-week calorie deficit where I dropped 10lbs and created a fit, feminine shape I love. In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact strategy I followed, from the overarching plan, to the specific macros, training, execution, and lessons learned along the way. 

We cover: 

  • The 2-year strategy that got me here (including my 6-month build phase) 
  • My exact deficit game plan and why I hired a coach 
  • The specific nutrition, training, and cardio protocols I followed 
  • What helped make this my easiest deficit yet 
  • My big wins (like quad definition!) and real frustrations (like water retention!) 

I always say it’s about having the science, strategy, and the system in place, and this was the perfect example. I felt energized, not hangry. I made progress on vacation. And I actually loved the process! (and the result of course :)) 

DM me your questions @jennythenutritionist I’ll be doing a Calorie Deficit Q&A in next week’s episode!
