Being “ready” for a cut has nothing to do with being fed up with your pants not fitting. That frustration will fade the moment someone asks you to have a second glass of wine and “I deserve it” rationalization sets in.

When motivation lapses, you need these three things on lock-down. I call them the ABCs of fat loss readiness:

A = ACTION: Are you already doing the things that support a healthy lifestyle (prioritizing daily movement, managing awareness or tracking of your fuel intake, lifting)?

B = BIOFEEDBACK: Are you managing recovery, sleep, digestion and stress well?

C = CONSISTENCY: Are your actions and strong biofeedback already ingrained in your routine?

If not, start there. Adding a calorie deficit and a new training habit to a taxed body will make for frustrating results.

Splitting readiness into action, biofeedback and consistency instead of just willpower is a much more honest way to look at it. Most people jump straight to a deficit without checking if their sleep or stress can handle it, then wonder why they feel worse. I've seen people add a new habit on top of an already taxed system and it backfires every time. Which of the three do you find people are usually weakest on when they come to you?

Great advice! I feel like so much of the cutting content online feels extreme and unachievable.... For me at least 😅
