If you told me you wanted to look fit in 2026, I wouldn’t hand you a macro calculator.
I wouldn’t tell you to cut carbs. I wouldn’t give you a 75-day challenge. And I definitely wouldn’t tell you to go from 0 workouts to 6 days a week overnight.
Because if you’ve been stuck in the cycle of sustainable fat loss feeling impossible… you don’t need another extreme plan.
You need a strategy you can actually stick to.
In this episode of The SweatSimple Podcast, I’m breaking down what I would personally focus on if I wanted to build a lean, toned, strong body — without falling into all-or-nothing thinking or another “I’ll start over Monday” spiral.
1. Monitor Your Food Intake (In a Way That Fits You)
If you want to build muscle and lose fat, awareness is non-negotiable.
That doesn’t automatically mean calorie tracking forever.
It could look like:
Tracking macros
Writing down what you eat
Taking photos of meals
Noting how certain foods make you feel
Research consistently shows that self-monitoring with feedback improves goal achievement.
2. Center Your Meals Around Protein
If you want to look toned and strong, protein matters.
Protein supports:
Muscle growth
Body recomposition
Satiety (aka not feeling ravenous all day)
If your goal is sustainable fat loss, this is one of the simplest high-impact shifts you can make.
3. Create a Realistic Plan for Movement
If you want to get fit long-term, your workout plan cannot rely on motivation.
In the episode I'll share what a realistic workout split could look like for you.
4. Figure Out Why You Haven’t Been Consistent
This is the part no one wants to talk about.
If you’ve struggled to stay consistent with fitness goals in the past, it’s not because you “don’t want it badly enough.”
There's usually 1 of 4 main reasons you're having a hard time follow through. I break down what they are in the episode.
