- 8 Odd Weight Loss Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner
The secret to results is to be goldilocks and look for the thing that is “just right.”
And the best way to get that “just right” plan for ourselves, is to create it. We need to find that combination of what is RIGHT and what we can do CONSISTENTLY.
That sweet spot is where the magic happens.
Because what is “right” won’t pay off if we can’t repeat those habits consistently. Just like doing the wrong things consistently will only lead to trouble.
But to find what is right for us, we need to step away from seeking some perfect plan or getting caught up in some ideals of perfection when it comes to our training and nutrition.
It’s why I wanted to share 8 tips I’ve discovered really make the difference in creating that just right plan for you…tips that many people won’t like because they don’t promote clean eating ideals or even the no pain no gain mentality that is so popular! - Jak na to + styl
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. czcams.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
I have a sweet tooth. When I started eating better for weight loss, I included candy into my meal plan. Not a lot- about 5% of my daily calories- but it REALLY helps with cravings. I've lost 40 lbs so far!
I used jelly to get my craving. It was from Germany. Then they started making it in U.S.A tossing all that fake stuff in it. It didn't taste sweet but bitter and fake. So I switched to bananas. Organic ones from my Walmart taste sweet. It was a great replacement. The non organic or organic ones from other stores didn't taste as sweet no matter how long I left them for. I realize that this may vary from time to time. Recently the bananas I usually get taste like trash now lol.
When I changed from jelly to banana, I could feel my muscles contract better and it actually became harder to exercise at first. I think it was because I didn't have abundant sugar in my body. The stomach fat on my lower gut started to reduce lol. I wasn't worrying about the gut fat but seeing that the change
Amazing!
if you like chocolate you could get dark chocolate with cacao or cacao nips or cacao powder...all health foods but taste like they are not.
@@miked4309 I have dark chocolate daily with peppermint tea…yummmm! Satisfies any sweet craving I get you are spot on 👌🏻
@@darnitthelma4247 i have a craving for chips but i need to avoid sugar. something i eat that tastes so decadent but is lower in calories is peanut butter powder mixed with cacao powder and cacao nibs. put in water and mix....it tastes like brownie batter but does not have sugar or fat. or small amounts.
Keys to success:
1. Figuring out what gives YOU the desired results
2. Sticking with what works
3. Adjusting as needed
4. Patience
5. Educating yourself using VALID sources
Great way of summarizing what all of these tips mean!
I was already doing these things (in moderation). No wonder my 60 lbs weight loss is going strong 2 years later and I've even been able to put on so much muscle as well. I feel so proud of myself right now. 🤣
Really love the 80/20 tip regarding eating. I've done the super strict diet routine before, and it SUCKED. I was basically yo-yoing all over the place, mood swings were awful, I felt tired and weak at the gym because I cut my carbs too much, cravings skyrocketed, etc. Once I started incorporating a "treat" once or twice a week, along with slightly less regimented dinners (with the rest of the day hitting my cal/macro goals), I felt far more satisfied with myself. And, the results are there!
The 80/20 has definitely helped me! I absolutely love my treats!
I've been watching your content for 2-3 years. And one of the things that I like is that the information is consistent. There really is nothing new here, it's a summary of information that you've been giving over & over ... which if we are consistent in following it, should help with results.
YES! And honestly it's slight "revisions" as I continue to learn. Not to mention, sometimes we just need to hear something said in a different way for it to click or remind us of what to focus on!
Walkin the talk. I like it. :)
ive been watching for the same time frame and Cori looks so lean and mean now. strength is beautiful.
Agree. I’m down to my last tweaks to put on more muscle. I’ve increased my rest periods, lifting heavier, progressive overloading, little to no cardio, eating more, watching macros, consistency in training, adequate rest, not over training, all of it. Not sure what else to do 🤷🏻♀️ SOS 🆘
And yes Cori looks lean and strong in the last few years. Her strength is beautiful! What did you change Cori?? This might help me
Thank you for being real and straight to the point. You are so motivating 🌺
Thank goodness! I’m in my 60s and so much of this made me feel better about my workouts.
HUGE appreciation for your bluntness and honesty!!
I did lose my weight on keto. Developed orthorexia. I’m more relaxed now, with maintenance. Chasing health rather than the weight. I have found more balance now. I eat mostly healthy at home avoiding added sugars and processed foods, don’t keep them in the home. But enjoy dinners out, and vacations, piece of wedding cake. Ive always worked out but stepped it up and mostly I settled for size six instead of two...
Great video. Thank you Cori for all you’re doing.
Thank you! Consistent, calm, curious, and kind, right? Forgive me for my long comment, but this proves I’m paying attention and am taking this excellent advice. 😜
Consistent - meet myself where I am, and eat and exercise in the sweet spot where I like what I’m doing and am working towards my goals. I need to do this so I can stick to a plan.
Calm: Understand that this is going to take time; I’m not going to be perfect, because life happens; every body differs, so I need to stop expecting the same results in the same time as another person (okay, my husband). I need to stop freaking out about how my journey is going. Making changes through little habits will keep me from getting overwhelmed. Avoid obsessing about my body because there are better ways to spend my time.
Curious - Keep track of what I’m eating, how I’m training, and what results I’m getting, but treat it as data, not some personal judgement. How many times was I able to cook during the week? Is my way of meal planning working? Is my latest new little habit sticking? Try something else to see if it works better. Besides, life changes and I need to adjust, and with my data I can see where I need to try something a little different. I’ll look at this whole thing like a scientist conducting experiments, or an engineer making adjustments based on changing conditions.
Kind - to myself, by ditching the guilt, forgiving myself for mistakes, being okay with where I am, and working on feeling neutral or even loving my body as it is right now;
to others, by checking myself for any fat-phobia or anti-fat behavior or biases, and making sure to compliment other people for things related to anything but their looks, and doing my part to reinforce that every body is beautiful and our looks (especially with respect to some “ideal” standard) do not determine our worth;
to the planet, because doing things like walking to the store and taking public transportation will be my small part to pull back on global climate change, as well as help me meet my goals.
Thank you to anyone who slogged through my post. ❤️
Love that way of putting it in those 4 words! Perfect summary of the tips!
Brilliant 🙂
This is great!
👏 Excellent! I love this and the ending tip of being kind to the earth too. Haha on not comparing ourselves to men (your comment about your husband) who can put on muscle easier it seems. We women work our rears off to gain a pound of muscle.🤨 Celebrate when we do 🥳 I love complimenting people and do it even more these days as the world has taken some ugly turns. Keep being your fabulous self ♥️
I have just come upon your site and love it. Thanks for not only giving such accurate and helpful information but for being a great example personally! I look forward to learning more from your site!
Golden information here. I can't tell you how many times I tell people to concentrate on small, sustainable changes on the road to progress. Awesome video as always, Cori!
YESSS! It's easy to feel pressure to achieve some "ideal," but what truly pays off is adjusting our current lifestyle to be the healthiest it can be! Because one size doesn't fit all!
Timely common sense advice! Appreciate your delivery of info is not over-the-top like so many others. I subscribed to your channel today and look forward to seeing more videos.
I have been following fitness content for a while. You are truly what I needed:)
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your valuable information. Makes perfect sense. Looking forward to future content. There’s no secret sauce but there is a sweet spot.
Excellent tips! You’ve probably heard this about a million times but here’s a million and one, You look AMAZING! Thank you for sharing informative and humorous videos😊
Your arms and shoulders are absolutely amazing. your videos keeps me motivated thank you
This is a great video. I love how you reiterated the importance of being consistent. Can I ask, could you share what recipes/meals do you prepare on your busy days?
Thank you so much for the much needed tips. I’m excited to see how much my body transform in three months.
You make so much sense. Appreciate you sharing your expertise! Thanks for ABQ!
You're my favorite! You always have great content.
Excellent video! Realistic & relatable!
Great Advice Cori, life in moderation ❤️ Thank you for sharing 💪 :)
Your videos are so informative. Thank you for sharing. You explain things vert well that make good sense.
I love your videos, tips and all. Your theory is realistic.
Thank you for always having realistic tips with explanations. I enjoy your format 😊
My pleasure! I'm glad they help! And thank you!
Great video and suggestions! I love the fact that you stress striving for one's own person best solutions.
The one thing I would disagree with though is about the diet drinks/sodas. Years back, I used to work in R&D for an alt-food company and at one point had to do a research project on artificial sweeteners because we were looking to possibly switch out the one we were using in the sugar-free products. What I learned about the commonly known artificial sweeteners out there on the market horrified me so much I never touched them again. I simply would eat regular sugars (cane, maple syrup, honey), which aren't much better in many ways, but much much less of it because it really is like a drug. I know I really feel awful when I eat too much of it and can see the difference when I cut back. I learned I do way better when I do as much as possible without added sugars or a lot of naturally occuring sugar, and adding some protein or fat with whatever it is to help offset the effects. Everyone's mileage may vary with this and everyone's got different needs and preferences, but I'm sharing my experience in case anyone might benefit.
Thank you always for the inspiration! Please keep the great workouts coming. :)
This actually really helped me. Thanks girl!
Hi! your video was suggested to me on my home page and only 1:30mins in, subscribed, turned on all notifications. thank you, I love the message you promote and your approach.sunny greetings from Vienna :)
Love your videos! Thank you!
Such great, sound advice! Thanks for sharing!
Definitely agree about the diet soda being ok. It helps me satisfy my sweet tooth while also feeling more full after a meal.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! ❣🙏🏾
Great video! Keep 'em coming!
Love everything about this video!
These are very common sense tips. Thank you!
Looove these posts. I’m not sure if you have a video about this but what and how should we handle loose skin after a lot of weight loss?
Always love when the dogs show up at the end!
Yes!!!! These are the best tips!
Thanks for this, I’m struggling with menopausal weight fluctuations. All of this helps my brain accept the slow progress. Your back looks awesome by the way! 💪🏽
Such great advice and your t-shirt is too cute!
That was great Cori. I am lagging again and being hard on myself. Really need to snap out of it,
These tips are amazing!
Truly a great vid! thank you.
Thank you for this sensible advice that I know but needed to hear in amongst the noise of other influencers etc. I have recently lost my father to cancer after 4. Months where I didn’t do anything only share the time I had left with him. So I’ve gained weight and lost my fitness and my enthusiasm. I started back 2 weeks ago and this is what I needed to hear. Thank you x
Peace to you.❤
❤️❤️
I really resonate with what you’re saying. I like you.
Great video tons of super tips
just found you, and i think you are fantastic!!! i have a lot to catch up on! 💪🏽
Thanks Kim! Welcome to RS!
Thank you. I gave into the bowl of pasta and felt so much better after I did it! I loved your walking video....so right on and so helpful!
Where is the walking video? Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your channel and videos! It is educational, inspirational and helpful! Do you still sell merchandise such clothing; hoodies and t-shirts? Many thanks again! Your channel has changed the way I view fitness and health! 👍🤗
I love the French way of thinking and I've said it most of my life too is moderation is the key to everything.
Please do a video on your diet changes and timeline to achieve your muscle definition .. I have watched you for a while and your body has changed dramatically from the beginning of your channel! All your workout advice and techniques are stellar but the food equasion is 80% of the battle if we want to show the muscles !
Great tips which makes it way more sustainable.
Thanks I needed to hear this... for the long haul 👍👍👍and cuuuute dogs ❤❤❤
Thank you! So glad it helped!
Great tips!
Great tips! very wise x
Nailed it on the head! Great video.
Thank You So much for amazing video is very helpful for stay tracking my lifestyle❤️
So glad it helps Unicorn!
Thanks for sharing
love this!
That was good, common sense advice. Thank you
Beautiful message this what I been doing for the last couple of weeks, and it’s been going good. I had to change my mindset and had to stop cutting things out like I did in the past. I will do a 40 day fast or 21 day fast cut things out then when the fast was over I will go back to eating all the good stuff but even more because I cut it out, then pick the weight back up🤦🏽♀️this this time I said no and it’s been working out great 😊
Cori, I am so glad I found you and RS. I am 2 weeks in an my Wrangler "Casey" is amazing :)
Aw yay! I'm so excited to get to continue to help Unicorn! And Casey is freaking fabulous. :-)
You look incredible!! Thank you for your content ❤
Thanks! Glad it helps!
THANK YOU!!
Right!!! I learned to give in on my cravings a lil bit so I don't binge from to much restriction!! So this is my key to keep me on track with my intermittent fasting and the low carb lifestyle ! Its a lifestyle change thats so easy now for me to make it my lifestyle and not a short diet that causes yo-yo dieting messing up over n over! Thank the good Lord for this channel because u have the smartest ,logical ,and common sense channel with great working techniques that are so right!! ❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Love that you're finding your balance Marie! It's the key!
Cravings for me was a nutrient deficency. I needed animal fats. Not veggie oils. Very interesting and cool as that was your first tip. Thanks for confirming this idea
Love this!! But I would drink a regular dr pepper before a diet one. 😄❤️
This is what I needed to hear today.... how did you know? 😊
Thankyou that was great and so positive , I was just thinking along those lines ,I would like long term way of eating with out restrictions ,without glulteny there can be possibilities .
Sound advice! I finally found a workout routine that works for me and nutrition as well. I must have a diet Dr Pepper daily but that steers me from creamers and binging on sweets.
This video made me laugh as I was getting informed. 😂😂 New subscriber.
Welcome to RS! And glad it educated and entertained! :-)
great video cori. i got to thank you as got an exercise from one of your videos that is now in my regular routine and that is the kettlebell roll up. i love it. something i learned from Onnit i think is to lift heavyish and have a short rest period to get ripped. i used to be the guy that lifted and then did an hour or hour and a half of cardio. my biggest issue ive learned is portion control. i can eat just to eat. i know that sets me back sometimes. my routine now is a 40 min brisk walk on the beach and later in the morning i will weight train.
I’ll have to look up the KB move. I’m imagining a Turkish get up. For many years I trained with the lift heavy/short rest period method and I agree, it gets you ripped. Now I’m feeling like my muscle is decreased. I’m trying to back off that approach some, still lift heavy with longer rest periods and see if that helps. I’m trying to eat more too. It’s a delicate balance trying to figure this out (how to increase muscle mass).
@@amperage8032 i think its on her 25 kettlebell moves video. i stand holding a 35lb kettlebell with both hands. it takes practice to figure a grip. i sit down on my butt keeping knees up and i get on my back bringing the kettlebell over my head like a pull over...i then bring the KB forward and sit up with it...bring the KB over your knees and stand up with the momentum. then sit back down and repeat. when you see it it will make sense.
@@miked4309 I’m familiar with that. I usually hold the kB upside down and move slow and intentional.
THANK YOU for these tips. To listen to a lot of these food fanatics, you can hardly put anything down your pie hole without feeling massively guilty. Then you're told even diet candies and drinks are bad? No wonder people get so discouraged. Finally, someone with common sense who recognizes that there's more to life than worrying about every little morsel you nibble on.
YESSS! Finding our balance is key! And trying to force someone else's ideal on ourselves often sabotages our consistency with improvements and constant growth!
For me, Down 135 pounds, it’s not measuring food- this for me is mentally exhausting. So if my calorie count is off a little at the end of the day OK. I also though not often, if I really want something that’s not clean. I just fit it inside my calories for the day. If my macros are of 1 day every 6-8 weeks nutritionally is not a big issue.
Ty lifesaver!!:)
Check out Zevia soda!!
I love it!!
No artificial sweetener and no dyes!!
I get it at Sprouts
Thank You
Great tips! I agree that not obssessing over have a donut or a burrito here and there is ok. I do get better results when I am not super restrictive. The only exception is 12-14 before competiton.
Love it Melody! all about finding our personal balance!
Yep!
In the process now slow and steady! Thank you 😊
Focus on that consistency! :-)
@@redefiningstrengthOC I agree! Planning on losing another 10 lbs slowly the next 6 months. So it won't feel as bad of a deficit. Again thanks for everything 🙏
You can do this!! Slow and steady is the best way to keep it off, if weight loss is your ultimate goal.
@@AlerieHightower gotta love the support! Thanks 😊
Totally agree. I love crunchy, salty snacks. Also have a sweet tooth. Peanut butter is my trigger food though, so I completely stay away!
Her core is crazy❤❤❤🔥🔥
I was always a “sugar fiend” when I was a kid and even into my adult years. Now, I do enjoy a sweet treat now and again and since adjusting my lifestyle and switching to a pescatarian/Mediterranean diet, I don’t have any sweet cravings. Much of the time when we go out to dinner, my husband and I will share our appetizer and main entree. I don’t feel hungry. But I do have a very hard time making my protein macro and am doing a 40/30/30. I have a protein supplement, but even with that, I am not able to make my protein macro.
Very intersting videi!
Those shoulders though!! Wow!
🙌🏼
What is finally working for me is alternate day fasting. I can eat what I like on my eating day. It was hard at first but its getting easier.
Very true
I think diet drinks are a good dessert. I have to walk after I drink one because I want my bloat gone in the morning. Also, the first time I drank diet soda in a year I couldn’t even finish 1/3 of it. 🙂
Thank you for your practical content. I have lost 30 lbs but look "weak" . I jave incorporated light weights, 2-3 lbs for more reps. 5 lbs hurts my old shoulder injury BUT...i have loose bat wings that must be addressed. Do 100 tricep curls and lifts daily with only 2 lbs weights. Do i go heavy, 8 lb weights for just a few reps for better results?
Help!
Regarding soda, this is what worked for me. Club soda and water flavoring. You have the taste and feel of soda without the sugar and soda level calories. Also, you can make up your own flavors. No, I'm talking about those create your own soda machines. You don't need them. Just a bottle of club soda, which is cost efficient, and a small box of water flavoring powders. One packet per individual bottle is enough and you can use less if you prefer. I hope this helps someone if you don't like the diet soda after taste, because I know I don't.
Love that you've found the tweaks that help you. Seriously so key!
Love the unicorn shirts! Where do you get them?
I made drastic drops in my weight after starting to Walk / jog minimum of 6-7 miles everyday for minimum of 5-6 days a week, cutting your food plate weight down from quarter to half the weight you normally eat helps a LOT also!
You are so wonderful.
I recently started a body recomp program for myself. I always have a hard time getting an accurate idea of my BMR based on so many varying results online, but I worry I may be in too much of a deficit and possibly still doing too much cardio. How much of a deficit is still beneficial in body recomp and what is a sustainable cardio to weight training ratio? I love your content, thank you so much for always sharing so much helpful information
I was in a similar boat! I found a 200 cal deficit to be much more sustainable for myself than something like a 500 cal deficit. In addition, I backed my cardo WAY off from 5x a week to 2-3x a week, and I noticed my lifting recovery and progressive overload improved drastically. My results were slow, took me 9-10 months to finally get to a body that I'm confident in maintaining, but the slow and steady approach worked for me consistency-wise. :)
@@catharinetarquinio6614 thank you for sharing this! it's good information to hear. And that makes a lot of sense about having more energy for strength training by cutting back the cardio, I don't think my brain had even made that connection honestly but when you say it, it seems so obvious!
First like -woohoo!!
Would you post the meals?
6:17 🤣, funny everytime I watch it..
