Move With Isabelle

Fitting in takeaway foods, is part of being a mum, school sport, weekends away, family dinners with extended family, weddings is all part of what I coach my mums on daily.

Because let’s face it, s**t does not always go to plan as a mum, and if you don’t have a back up plan, for the back up plan, you’re doomed to blow out and feel like a failure.

If you’re looking for a simple way to understand your calories, comment “macros” below for our free macro calculator!

“There’s no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ food... just what you do all the time foods vs sometimes food.”

Don’t let the video fool you.

You get stuck in all-or-nothing thinking:
Salad = good
Chocolate = bad
Smoothie = good
Wine = bad

That’s not how fat loss works.

Your body doesn’t judge food - it responds to patterns.

If something moves you closer to your goals → do it more often.

If it slows you down → do it less often.

Do more of what works.
Do less of what doesn’t.
Repeat.

No guilt. No labels. No BS.

I wish I knew this earlier, it would have saved me years of stress and starting over.

If you want a clearer handle on your calories and portions, l’ve got a free resource for it.

Comment “macros” and I’II DM you 💌

If you’re a mum trying to lose fat, there’s some pretty basic, no brainers that will help you along the way.

Essentially when you’re in a fat loss phase, you want to keep calories low, volume high.

We have something in our program called a lifestyle phase, this is where you hit your goal and you work on maintaining that number, so caloric density and food volume doesn’t matter as much and you can have typically more flexibility with food types.

Because you don’t want to be dieting for your whole life, but if you do it once and do it right, you’ll never have to do it again!

Have you even tried weighing out your food?

It sounds like a lot of work, and is going to take up so much of your already limited time.

You only need as long as it takes you to plate up your food to weigh and log it.

Some other things that saves me time and make my life easier to stay on track.
1. Kitchen scales live on your bench. Don’t put them away, this is one extra step you need to do to weigh out your food.
2. Component prep. Cook and prepare your protein, vege, carbs. This saves so much time throughout the week, and allows you to mix and match to keep it interesting.

Do you find weighing out your food too hard?

Post Weekend check-in.

Not a great start but a lesson learnt early.

Failing to prepare, is preparing to fail
