Summary
What the Fluff!?
It's January 2nd (or maybe later). You pull the belt across you on the plane, you get into your pants, you look in the mirror...what the fluff!?
You may have eaten normally for most of the holiday period. For many people who find themselves gaining weight, it doesn't come from the decisions they're making for lunch on Wednesday, it's the "abnormal" days.
Many who fail to lose fat do well on the week days but then overeat far too much on the weekends, negating any caloric deficit they may have created during the week.
During the holiday periods or similar times like vacations, "abnormal" days increase, further increasing the caloric surplus.
What can you do? Snap back to health by resetting your baseline.
What the Fluff!? Snap Back Strategies
Before you begin addressing the problem, consider your approach. Don't catastrophize.
This may be a long habit of unhealthy decisions that you've decided to stop, or you may generally feel pretty good about your nutrition habits and just need a quick course correction. Either way, don't expect to fix this in a couple days.
For big changes, you need to think about 6 to 12 months.
When it comes to metrics, know yourself. For some, recording your weight each day will drive you crazy. For others, it's useful information that helps inform their decisions without causing overreactions.
In terms of approaches, starving yourself is not a good approach. It may be useful, however, to have a short period where you're strict with no alcohol, no added sugar, and focus on having as many single-ingredient foods as possible.
This resets your baseline and will, actually, have you feeling better after a couple days. You'll find that the bloat is gone and you come to begin appreciating healthier foods.
Weighing and measuring for a period of time may also help. Why? Because it helps prevent a slide into hidden calories ("that's close enough"). It also, if you have not done it, helps inform you of just how many calories peanut butter, whiskey, and cooking oils have.
Filling your plate with more veggies really helps too.
What the fluff!? Don't freak out, snap back to health with these strategies.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners this is normally when we would talk about a holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save however as I met with our marketing team |
| 0:13.8 | earlier this month to discuss promotional ideas, |
| 0:16.5 | we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.4 | for people who want to work with a coach. |
| 0:21.4 | And that call to mind how many of our clients got into |
| 0:24.4 | this for the form corrections and ended up making real life |
| 0:28.1 | transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal Barbel logic client is not afraid of hard work. |
| 0:35.0 | They don't just have goals. |
| 0:36.0 | They are driven by continual self-improvement. |
| 0:39.0 | They pursue strength because they care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. |
| 0:44.8 | We know that price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for something. |
| 0:50.0 | But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully deciding where to invest their money, |
| 0:55.0 | they're also very intentional about how they invest their time. |
| 0:58.0 | And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that you could waste your time and not see the results you want. |
| 1:04.4 | If any of this sounds like you I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months |
| 1:09.7 | of two to four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, |
| 1:14.5 | we will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario |
| 1:20.1 | is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself |
| 1:24.7 | and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is a bet on |
| 1:28.8 | yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are. |
