Tired of struggling with portion control and watching your diet efforts fall short? 🚨Here are three simple yet powerful strategies to help you manage portion sizes 🍽️ and build mindful eating habits for sustainable fat loss. The 50% Rule: 🥑 At dinner or when dining out, serve yourself only half of your usual portions for proteins, carbs, and sides—but go for a full portion of veggies. Enjoy this first helping slowly, and then go for seconds. Definitely eat seconds of veggies 🥦 and protein 🥩to hit your nutrition goals, but decide what other portions you should eat. This “50% rule” lets you enjoy the experience of having seconds without the excess, helping you stay within your goals 💯. Pause and Reflect: ⏸️ 🤔 After finishing your first portion, PAUSE for just one minute. Set your fork down, breathe, and take a moment to check in with yourself. Are you still hungry, or are you actually satisfied? This one-minute pause creates space to listen to your body, helping you avoid mindless eating. Food Group Order for Satiety: 🥬🍖🍚🍪 To feel full longer, eat in a specific order—veggies first, then protein, carbs next, and sides last. This sequence emphasizes nutritious foods that help keep you satisfied, so you’re less tempted to overindulge in extras.

💪 Put a lil’ ELBOW grease into your bench presses and rows by mastering ELBOW PLACEMENT and GRIP WIDTH! 💪 1️⃣ Elbow Placement Depends on Grip Width: When pressing, keep your elbows under the weight you’re lifting. When rowing, your elbows should line up with your hands, which are holding the load. 2️⃣ Narrow Grip: With a narrow grip, your elbows will track down your torso, bringing the bar to your sternum or lower chest. This applies to both close-grip presses and narrow-grip rows. 3️⃣ Wider Grip: Wider grip pushes your elbows further out, bringing the bar higher on your chest. Works the same on both wide-grip presses and rows. 4️⃣ Best Leverage and Balance: For presses, keep your shoulder, elbow, wrist, and bar in a stacked line at the top. At the bottom, make sure your elbow stays in line with your wrist and the bar. For rows, reach forward to extend your arm fully, keeping the weight in line with your shoulder and pulling your elbows in line with your hands as you row. Use these concepts to CRUSH your press and row variations! 👊 COMMENT if you’ve ever wondered about this in your training.
