Lifestyle Coaching by Brooktree: The Core of the Program
In the vast world of health and fitness, misinformation and quick fixes often overshadow sustainable methods. Today, I want to introduce you the core of the Lifestyle Coaching program. A clear, realistic path to not only lose over 30 pounds but also reshape your body and maintain those results indefinitely—without sacrificing the joys of your favorite foods or your sanity.
Phase One: Body Fat Reduction
This initial stage is crucial and might take anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on your starting point. It involves creating a calorie deficit so profound that your body has no choice but to burn its own fat for fuel. The formula is simple: calculate your goal weight in pounds, multiply it by 12, and aim for this number of calories daily. Adjustments might be necessary based on height, particularly for those under 5'3", who might find a multiplier of 10 more sustainable.
Phase Two: Building Muscle Tissue
Once you've reduced body fat to a comfortable level, it's time to focus on building muscle. This phase is about increasing your calorie intake slightly above maintenance while prioritizing strength training. This shift from losing weight to enhancing muscle mass involves foundational compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Emphasize slow, controlled reps and progressively increase the weight or repetitions to continuously challenge your muscles.
Phase Three: Gradual Body Fat Reduction
With added muscle, you'll burn more calories at rest. Now, you can achieve further fat loss even on a higher calorie intake than before. The focus remains on high protein intake, consistent strength training, and maintaining or slightly increasing your step count to avoid plateaus.
Phase Four: Maintenance
The final phase is all about sustainability. With a stronger, leaner body and a higher metabolic rate, you can enjoy greater food freedom. This phase is not just about maintaining physical results but also about living the values you've cultivated—like prioritizing protein, choosing nutrient-dense foods, and staying active—which are now integral parts of your life.
Throughout these phases, remember that body transformation is a progressive and non-linear process. It's about making consistent, small improvements and not getting discouraged by occasional setbacks.
