1. I Focus on Low Sugar
One of the biggest things I do is look for foods that are low in sugar — any kind of sugar. I read labels. I pay attention. If it’s loaded with sugar, I usually put it back.
Now, am I perfect? Absolutely not.
Things slip through the cracks sometimes. That’s life. But overall, I aim for low sugar as much as possible.
Yes, I still drink pop — but it’s mostly the zero versions. Is it perfect? No. But it’s better than loading up on regular sugar-filled drinks every day.
2. I Keep Carbs Low Too
Low sugar goes hand-in-hand with low carbs for me. I follow a keto-style approach — low sugars, low carbs, higher protein, and higher fats.
That’s what works for me.
Now let me say this clearly: keto may not work for everyone. Everybody is different. The key overall principle is this:
👉 You need to be in a calorie deficit.
If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight over time. That’s just how it works. Keto is just the method I use to help me stay in that deficit more consistently.
3. I’m Not Perfect (And You Don’t Have to Be Either)
Do I eat fried foods sometimes? Yes.
Do I eat processed foods sometimes? Yes.
I just try to keep it to a minimum. As little as possible — but let’s be real, it’s not always possible.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being consistent more often than not.
4. I Move My Body
You’ve probably heard me say this:
“Do what you can, where you’re at, with what you have.”
Movement burns calories. Movement burns fat. But you don’t need a fancy gym membership or the “perfect” plan.
Walk. Stretch. Lift something. Dance. Do yard work. Do something.
Consistency beats intensity every time.
5. I Take Care of My Mental Health
This one is huge.
If your headspace isn’t right, everything else gets harder. Stress eating, emotional eating, giving up — it all connects back to mental health.
Look after your headspace.
Give yourself grace.
Speak to yourself better.
Your mind and your body are connected.
6. I Build (and Create) Support
Support matters more than people realize.
If you have people who support you — lean into that. If you don’t?
Make your support happen.
For me, that’s social media. I make videos. I post whether it’s 1 viewer or 100. It keeps me accountable. It keeps me consistent. It reminds me that I’m on this journey publicly — and that helps me stay on track.
Final Thoughts
There’s no magic pill. No secret shortcut.
For me it’s:
-
Low sugar
-
Low carbs
-
Higher protein and fats
-
Staying in a calorie deficit
-
Moving my body
-
Protecting my mental health
-
Building support and accountability
Simple. Not always easy — but simple.

Keep going. Stay consistent. And remember:
Do what you can, where you’re at, with what you have.
