This is holding you back from FAT LOSS | Natalie Jill

Hello. Hello. I am talking to you tonight about what is holding us back from fat loss. This might be in your gap. I am going to be sharing some things that you can do to start shifting it. Thanks for joining me. Hey, you guys. I am Natalie Jill, licensed master sports nutritionist, functional fitness trainer. And what I do is I kill fat for a living. And not just the fat on our bodies, but those false assumed truths that we start thinking about aging, they get stuck in our head and we start believing them and then things stop shifting. That is what I do. I help kill those. Thanks for joining me tonight. If you're new to my page, welcome. And if you've been on My Lives before, thanks for coming back and joining me. Hey, before I jump into tonight's topic, if you are a woman in your 40s and 50s, please let me know. I'd love to know that I'm reaching you and I'm talking to you. Let me know where you're from and your age. And that doesn't mean you can't listen in if you're a guy or a female out of those age ranges. But I love to know who I'm talking to, where you're from and your age. I'm 47, by the way. That's why I love to know that. So, so I want to know if I'm talking to you guys about that and I am going to be opening up to questions as well. So. Hey, you guys. Okay, so this is the topic I want to talk to you about tonight. I want to talk about fat loss. I want to talk about fat loss. I've been spending a lot of time on goals, but I want to talk specifically about fat loss and the transformation triangle and what that means. So first of all, let me know in the comments if you are struggling with fat loss, if it's something that you want, if it's something that you're struggling with, if it's something you've been working on, tell me that. So I know. And if you have specific questions, let me know that as well. Here is what I want to share and I want you to picture a tripod. You picture a tripod with the three stands. If one stand from a tripod is missing, the tripod does not stand up. Right? Ok. I'm sharing that for a reason. Because with fat loss there are three points that have to be in place. And if one of these things are not lined up, then we don't have lasting fat loss. We don't have lasting fat loss. So I'm going To share what those things are. And before I do, I just want to show you a couple pictures to show you that what I'm going to be sharing with you absolutely works. And I'm going to show you some women that applied this and it changed everything. And these are women that were doing all kinds of other diets and plans and just following a program. But until they made this one shift, things were not changing. So I'm going to give you some examples here. So I'm going to show you. First, this is my friend Nicole. See Nicole. This is when I met her. This is Nicole now.

Look at her.

Beautiful, right? Beautiful. This was her. This is her now. And this is because she implemented what I'm about to share with you. So you're going to want to watch this. And this was not about just following a diet, just following nutrition, or just following workouts. She implemented all parts of this transformation triangle. So that's one. Terri's another one. This was Terri. This was Terri before. You wouldn't even recognize her now because this is Terri now, Hottie Terri before and now. And she also did not just change her diet or her workout. She literally changed all of these things that I'm going to share with you in this transformation triangle. So you want to know what they are. One more picture before we get started because this one just came over to me. This is Landa before. This is Landa before had tried all kinds of things. This is Landa now. Look at her hot mama. That's her. Now this is from implementing this. Okay, so what are they? What are those things? So I call it the transformation triangle because you have to do all three. Number one is changing your state. That's the top of the triangle. And be getting into those. And then you've got on one side of that triangle on the bottom is plan your plate. You have to change the way that you're eating. And I'm going to give you some actual things you can take away tonight with. And then also we have to look at our weight and not just what we're doing with those workouts with the weights, but how we start viewing our weight. So I'm going to talk into all of those things tonight, giving you a few pointers on each that you can start implementing right away and start making a differ. Okay, so I'm going to talk about state first, because this one is the priority. This is really important and I will promise to get some nutrition and workout tips. But this stuff has to come in place first. So I'm going To give you three and I'm doing a deep dive class into this tomorrow. So if you want like the full hour with me tomorrow where I deep dive into this and interact one on one with you, make sure you register for my class. It's at www.nataliejillclass.com. i'm doing a live class tomorrow that will be on Zoom that I'm going to go deep into that. So I'm just going to get a little tast of some of those points right now. Okay, you ready? Okay. Number one with changing your state is you have to make a decision. Decide. It's as simple as that. However it sounds simple, it's not always that simple because deciding means you're going to eliminate words like I'm going to try, I'm going to think about, I'm going to consider, I might, I maybe it's saying I decide that I'm drawing a line in the sand and this is changing. So it's I decide. So the number one first thing you can do with changing your state is making a decision that you're done being whatever it is you are right now. So this is with your weight, this is with your financial situation, this is with your relationships, this is with your career, it's with anything. The first step is making that decision and saying I decide that this is changing, this is shifting, this is what's happening. So that's number one. So make that decision. The second thing with the state is ready. This is scary for people, but it's to make a declaration. What does that mean? A declaration means you're going to take your decision and you're going to tell people that it's happening. You're going to say this is happening by when you're going to give a date, you're going to give a time. So this is what a lot of people do wrong is they'll say I decide that I'm tired of feeling this way. And they say what they want to feel but they don't tell anyone. And a lot of times we don't tell people because we're scared of what? We're scared that if we tell somebody we actually have to, to do it. Uh oh, we actually could do it because if we don't do it then we didn't live up to our word. And if we tell somebody that means we have to do it. We can't actually fail because we don't want to tell them we're going to fail. So what do we do? We innately protect ourselves and we say I'm not even going to tell anyone. I'm not even going to tell them. I'm going to decide and I'm going to just keep it to myself. But that is dangerous because you are much less likely to make it actually happen if you don't declare it. So just the very act of declaring it, saying, I'm doing this, and you tell people, you tell your friends, you tell your family, you tell your co workers, maybe you go on social media and tell all of us, but you tell people and just by doing that, you are going to up your chances of success. So that's number two. Just declare number three. This is a big one. And I know you've heard this before, but I'm going to explain it a little bit different. You have to know exactly where it is you want to go. You can call it vision, you can call it goal, you can call it whatever you want, but you have to know exactly what it is that you are after and where you want to go. So specific, like, what do you want to look like, what do you want to feel like? What do you want to be doing? What do you want to be wearing? The more specific you can get with where you want to go, the more likely you are to get there. So, so many times I deal with women all the time that say, gosh, I just don't want to feel like this anymore. I feel like it's too late for me. I feel like it's too old. I feel like I just don't want this. And I said, well, what do you want? I say, well, I just, I don't know, I just don't want this. But when you do that, you haven't actually gotten clear on where it is that you want to go. So you're just gonna get more confusion. You're gonna get more things kind of working. It doesn't fully work if you don't get clear on where you want to go, right? If I give you, you know, give you some car keys and you go get in the car and I say just go, I mean, where do you end up? It kind of depends. Depends on where you feel like for the moment, right? It depends on how much gas is in your car. Depends on what your friends are doing. It depends on a lot of circumstances. But if you're super clear, I'm going to California, then you're going to get. There might not be the car. You might drive to an airport, you might drive to a train station, you might drive to a boat, but you might. You'll get there. So because you're clear on where you're going, so you have to get very, very clear on where your vision is. So those are the first three things in state. And I mentioned I was going to talk about three parts. Change your state, plan your plate, love your weight. So that was a little taste of the state. And for those of you that weren't on earlier, if you want a deep dive into that part, because changing your state is what changes all of your results, make sure you log on and sign up for my free class tomorrow. It's www.nataliejillclass.com. and if you log on to that, you can register and I'll send you an email right away giving you the exact information. Brooks, do you mind typing on my Instagram? That way I can pin it. Thank you. I want to make sure I put it up on here on Instagram for you guys. You have that here? I'm doing Instagram and Facebook right now, multitasking, so. Okay, so those are for the first three and changing your state. But then let's look at the plate. Oh, thank you, Amy. Amy just did it. Thank you, Amy. I see you. I appreciate you. Let's see. Pinned it. Yes, I did it. Thank you, Amy. And by the way, if you've been on my live classes before, you are absolutely welcome back. It's similar topic, but I always will shift and add more things to it. So you're totally welcome to come back on that as well tomorrow. Okay, so there's three parts of this transformation, triangle, state, plate weight, cover the first three of state. Even though there's a lot more there that I can get into with you with the plate, I'm going to give you just two very simple things. If you make these two shifts in your nutrition, you're going to start seeing results. Let me repeat. If you make just these two changes, two changes in your nutrition, you're going to start seeing results. Want to know what they are? Okay, number one.

Aha.

Unprocess your diet. What does that mean? That means you're gonna start eating foods that are natural and once grew. As simple as that? If it's a simple ingredient, simple food, and it once grew, it's likely ideal for you and better for you. Now, is it as simple as that? It's pretty simple. It's pretty simple. Let me tell you guys, we tend to complicate things. Yes, I could give you all kinds of complicated plans. I can give you macros and calories, and I can give you all these. I can give You a lot of details and proportions and whatever. But let me tell you, the bottom line is if you simply unprocessed your diet and eat real natural, unprocessed foods, it's very difficult to not lose weight and get to your ideal weight. It's very difficult. Does that mean there's an exception to the rule? Possibly. However, most of us aren't doing that. Most of us are eating not unprocessed natural foods. And then we're wanting to know the secret magic trick. But if you try this first, if you think I'm just going to cut out things that I can't pronounce, so let me look at what can I eat in a day if it's unprocessed? And literally everything if you think about it, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, chicken, meat, avocado, so many foods in their natural, simple form. If you eat more of those, you make less room for the bad. You start unprocessing your diet. Change happens to your body, Change happens to your body just by unprocessing your diet. But when you're eating all these fake, fake foods with high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners, we're not doing any favors to our body. We've got inflammation, we're holding onto things. Let me just give you a little tidbit about artificial sweeteners. Sometimes you think you're eating a fat free, sugar free food, great. But you're eating almost all chemicals. And what happens is your body thinks it's getting those calories and it's not. So you're going to have more cravings looking for those calories to make up. You're also going to have a lot of bloat and more hunger from those. So you're not doing yourself any favors. But when you eat natural, unprocessed, clean foods, you process them quickly, you get the nutrients from them, you stay full for hours. It works. So as simple from that I said I was going to give you two things. If you start implementing these things right away, you're going to start making changes in your body just from these two new rules. Unprocess your diet. The next one I'm going to give you and I can get into a lot more, I promise you. Just two. The next one is you start thinking addition versus subtraction. What does that mean? Well, that means instead of focusing on all the things you can't have anymore, which is where our head goes, we think, but I want pizza, but I want chocolate, but I want diet soda, but I want this, instead of even saying that, you're just going to say, okay, tomorrow I'm going to start focusing on getting so much of the good in that there's less room for the bad. So we start focusing on adding in more, adding in more versus what are we taking away? So that could be really fun. So you look at, okay, I'm going to see, can I get in five, eat 10 vegetable servings tomorrow? Can I get in eight, 10 glasses of water tomorrow? Can I do that? Can I get in some lean proteins? Can I get in some healthy nuts and seeds? You start making it this little trick, like, what am I going to add in? You start adding in more and more of the good, makes less room for the bad. It's brilliant, right? Easy, easy. Doesn't have to be complicated, you guys. It can be simple like that. Just two things. Making those changes makes a big difference. Next thing, let's talk about weight. Because like I mentioned, it's a tripod. You got to do all three steps in order to have a shift and get results. So let's talk about weight. The two things I'm going to give you with weight. These are two words. Write them down if you have to. Intensity and progression. Which means when it comes to workouts, it doesn't matter. I love when I say this, and people are going to argue with me, but here we go. I'm putting it out there because I believe this. It doesn't matter how long you work out, it doesn't matter how many days, it doesn't matter what type of class, it doesn't matter what type of workout. What matters is that you're doing intensity and progression. What does that mean? What it means is you are constantly progressing. So that means you're getting stronger than yesterday, you're working harder than yesterday, you're making it more challenging. As long as you personally are progressing every single day and every single move, you are challenging yourself, and it makes a difference. If you don't believe me, try this. Wherever you are with pushups or a plank, I love taking planks. As an example, wherever you are with a plank, go hold a plank. If you've never done a plank before, you hold it and you see, where am I starting from? If you do planks all the time, you can hold it for five minutes easily. Great. Wherever you're starting from, progress it more. So if you can hold it for five minutes, can you hold it for six? Can you hold it while lifting a foot up? How can you progress it? Constantly progressing, Whatever it is you're doing is going to help change your body. The second part to the weights is intensity. Intensity. What does that mean? Does intensity mean you need to be an Olympic athlete? No, it doesn't. And that's what happens. We get in our heads, we're like, oh, I have to be that, and I'm not that, so I can't be intense. Or I hear, you know, I have an injury, I have to do low impact. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about what is intense for you, what is challenging for you. So many times, and I see you women, I see you in the gym, leaning on the machines, talking with your friends on your cell phone, whatever, are you being intense? When you're intense, you are winded, you're out of breath, you're pushing yourself, you're sweating, you're challenging. When you up that intensity and you combine that with progression, you change your body. It doesn't matter what type of workout. It doesn't matter how long, doesn't matter how many days. It doesn't matter whose workouts you're following. I'd love for you to follow my workouts. But the bottom line is, it doesn't matter. What matters is, are you progressing and are you being intense? Period? And then it doesn't matter. You could work out. Just to give you an example, you could work out for two hours every day and never change your body. If you're not doing these things, if you're just going through the motions for two hours a day on your phone, putting in the time, and you're wondering why your body's not changing, that's why you're not being intense and you're not progressing. Now take it the other way. Let's say you're working out just five minutes a day. Somebody might say, well, that's not enough time. Well, it depends. Let's talk about it. If you do burpees for five minutes, it would probably change your body, right? How about if you go hold a plank for five minutes without changing your body? Try it if you don't believe me. How about pull ups? Could you go do pull ups for five minutes straight? So, yes, you absolutely can change your body. It's not about the time, it's not about the workout, it's not about whose workout. It's about those simple things. So here's the thing, you guys. There's a lot of information on the Internet. There's a lot of information overload. Believe me, myself, 10 years ago, when I was going through my own Transformation. And for those of you that don't know, this was me 10 years ago and they find you a picture Granted. Disclaimer. I just had my daughter, but I was a lot heavier than I am right now from eating a lot of food. But when I was searching on how am I going to lose this weight, this is 10 years ago, I got really caught up in the information overload. This was me. This was me when I had my daughter. Look at that. But I got really caught up in information overload. Like how I am so confused. What do I eat, what do I follow, what workout? But it stopped me. I got so overwhelmed. And really, you guys, that's a lot of marketing because it doesn't have to be that complicated. It can be very simple. You pick what you like to do and you have intensity and you have progression. It's as simple as that. It's really as simple as that. So I hope that helps you guys ask me any questions that you have. And before I forget, because I know some of you are jumping in and off this, if you have not signed up for my class yet, please, please do that. It's totally free. I go deep dive, deep dive into more of the state. More of how to change your state that will help set you up for all of your goals in 2019. I do these classes free. I don't know how many more I'm going to keep doing, but I am doing one tomorrow at 10am PAC time. It's totally free. All you do is go to www.nataliejillclass.com, you sign up and I send you an email right away. You can get on my free class there. I'm going to take some questions, you guys. So any question you have on Instagram or Facebook, if you type it, I'll see it. And while you're doing that, I'm going to share something with you guys because I got your ears. Many of you know that my absolute favorite thing to do besides my podcast. If you don't know my podcast, by the way, you're missing out. It's called leveling up, creating everything from nothing. And it's one of my favorite things to do because I interview people that overcame massive hardship from anywhere in their life. So like they maybe they were homeless at one time or they had a drug problem or they lost their business. Whatever it is, they had a massive hardship that they overcame and they created massive results from it. And I interview people on this and it's so much fun to do. And so that's my first favorite thing to do. So you can find that for free on itunes or anything, podcast app. But what I also do is what's called my breakthrough experience. And I love this because I see so many of you on social media. You know, if I combine all my social media I probably have, there's probably 3 million people almost that follow me. But what I don't love about that is I don't get to know people from that because I can go live like right now and I have a handful of you on and then I go live tomorrow and it's a different handful. And unless you're in my small group, so I really get to know you, I never really get to go deep with you. And for me, I, I feel that transformation really happens through connection. So when I can really get to know you, you get to know me, we get to work one on one together. And I really can get to the root of what's holding you back and work specifically with you about your goals, your vision, what it is that you want. And I can help you do that and you can become accountable to me and my husband and a small group. It's amazing how transformation happens. Some of these people I showed you at the beginning, like Terri, when I met her here, she did my, one of these special weekends. I'm about to tell you about my breakthrough weekend. Same with Nicole. She did one also. But my absolute favorite thing to do, it's called Breakthrough Weekend. And this year I happen to be doing two of them. And basically I have 10 of you in a group. It's for women only. Sorry guys, but this one's for women only. And I want specifically women in their 40s and 50s. You come and you hang out with me in San Diego, California for three days and we go deep. I mean, we go deep. And it's very, it's private, it's focused on you. This very small group that has like minded personalities and goals, we figure out what's holding you back, we create your specific vision and we help get you to shift. So it's a lasting result. So it's not a fad diet or you know, a one time experience. You get results from this, it changes you forever. And we couple that with three months of coaching and it's phenomenal. It is my favorite thing to do. I call it Breakthrough weekend because people literally break through from this. That's the good News. I'm doing two this year, 10 women each. The bad news is we have over 50 applications over there. You can kind of see them. They're on Brooks's counter over there that we've been going through and we only have 10 spots in each. So we are trying to get the right group of people. I'm being super picky because you'll be in my home and I want to make sure people together are good peoples and good people, good matches together. So if you're at all interested in that, please apply. I'm going to put that link too. It's just, it's www.nataliejill fitness.com apply and you want to apply, get your application in and then me and Brooks are going to review them and we'll be reaching out to a few people we feel your candidate and we've got the price, the dates, all of that on there. Okay, I'm going to start taking some questions. Let's see.

Hi, Kat. Hi, Kat. She's saying she asked me about intermittent fasting.

So.

Okay. So, Kat, I don't have an issue with intermittent fasting at all. In fact, however, my concern with intermittent fasting becomes can you make that a lifestyle? Can you do that forever? Can you live that way? If you can, Amazing. A lot of people can't. For those of you who don't know, traditional intermittent fasting means you're going to eat all your food within four to six hours and then you fast the rest of the time. Great. It works because you're eating less food and you're giving your body a break from eating. And when you're not eating, your body's not secreting insulin and so you, you get into fat burning mode. When your body's secreting insulin, you're not in fat burning mode. So yes, it makes sense. I get it. However, I don't feel it's a lifestyle. My opinion doesn't mean it doesn't work. I like to teach things that are lifestyle that you can use forever and work into any life. So what I am a fan of is what I call modified fasting and that just means giving your body a break. So whether that's 12 hours a night or longer between meals, I think it is important to give your body a break. I am not a fan of eating every two hours. At one point when I first became got into nutrition, I was teaching eat every two hours. I no longer do that for that reason. I love to give your body a break so you're not secreting insulin. So I'm a fan of modified fasting, not necessarily intermittent fasting. So I hope that answers your question, Kat. Wow. How do you get to be part of that Hi, Rose. All you do is apply. Just go to www.nataliejillfitness.com. apply. It's not free. I'm just going to be really upfront with you. We spend a lot of time with you, not just that weekend. We do group coaching. We put a lot into this weekend, and we only do it for 20 women a year total. So it's not free. I'm going to be clear. It's an investment in yourself. And as you all know, when you invest in yourself, you follow through and you make change. Always you do. So, Sandy, I have all the information on that sheet. Just check out the application. There's no obligation check on it. You see the cost, and I want to. You guys, let me talk into cost for a minute. If you're ever. So you can come and chime in on this one, too. I want to share about cost for a second here. So this is Brooks, by the way. This is my husband. Hi. Brooks and I had more stories in our life of anybody about not investing in ourselves.

For years.

For years. It was always like, here's the thing, you guys, nobody ever has just an extra lump of money sitting around. Like, you never have just an extra $5,000 or $20,000. No, you don't just have extra money lying around. Even if you're a millionaire. It's not like, oh, I have a random extra $30,000. Where can I give it today? That doesn't usually come up for people, but we do find money. We do find money to pay for things that we want regardless of cost, all the time. All the time. You find money to get things that you want regardless of cost. I'll give you an example, especially you ladies. If you ladies go to a store and you see a dress that you really like and you look at the price tag and it's out of your budget. You probably don't even try it on, right? I know you guys know this. You don't even try it on. However, if you try on that dress and you, like, you look 10 pounds lighter and your eyes look really blue and your skin's glowing and you start visualizing where you're wearing this dress, you get excited. You're like, I am getting this dress. You go to the cash register and it's not the price that you thought. What do you do? What do you guys do? Be honest. I know what you do. You pull out a credit card. You figure it out because you have visualized where you're wearing this dress, and it always works itself out. You don't have regrets on it. It's the same thing with investing in yourself. When you know where it is that you want to go and you get coaching and support and help to get you there, it's always worth investing in yourself. So don't sell out on yourself because of a money story. Don't sell out of yourself. Maybe your vision is, I'm going to create more income and that's something we'll help you with. But don't let yourself stop because of a money story, because the money story shows up everywhere.

Shows up with your car.

He doesn't want to sit down and talk and be short. Here we go. There we go. Yeah.

So that money story shows up everywhere. It's not just here, it's when you go to the mall, it's when you know you're planning the vacation, you know, we'll do it, quote unquote, next year. And you just keep kicking the can down the road. And, you know, sometimes things happen when next year doesn't, doesn't come around. It's actually this. I won't go into the whole long story to happen to a buddy of mine from school. You know, we just, you know, we'll do this later. Later. We just assume that tomorrow is coming. Just like it's been two months ago now. Like, I went to sleep, I woke up the next day and I lost most of the hearing in my right ear. If we just assume, you know, you have to, you have to take action. You have to invest in yourself. And this thing is that same mindset, the same mindset of I can't afford it now. Until you do something different to break that pattern, it's never going to change. And that's why there's people that have, you know, that are in their 50s that have like, never flown first class. They've never stated, they've never treated themselves. They've had a, they've had a money pattern. It's just been, you know, repetitive for decades. And I had it massively. I had massive, massive scarcity mindset. And it takes that investing in yourself. But every single time that I've invested in myself, it's taking me to the next level because people at the next level, people that are flying first class or private or doing these things, they're not thinking that they can't afford it. There's a different mind, there's a different belief set that they have around money. And that's what, when you invest in yourself, you get to start getting on the other side of that.

Thank you, Brooks Somebody's asking, what is the website for the class tomorrow? Hi, I'm typing it right now. Natalie. Jillclass.com for the class tomorrow and to apply. You guys are asking about. Whoops. Oh, ignore that. It's just have a comm. I screwed that up.
