Ep. 160 The Surprising Mindset Shifts that Helped Kat Glover Lose 25lbs and Keep it Off

I can't wait for you to hear this conversation with a graduated client who is thriving now and keeping the 25lbs she lost off and she's been able to do that with her mindset.

Kat Glover is a past client and worked with our Coach Kat. Kat worked with us for about a year and a half and she graduated from our Forever Fit program last May. She was an incredible client and made incredible physical progress, but the real star of the show was her mindset growth and her improvements in relationship with food/exercise. She has done a phenomenal job maintaining her results too! 

When Kat first came to us for coaching, she was doing all the “right” things on paper.  She was no stranger to being active. She was a competitive swimmer growing up, started running marathons after college and even completed her first Ironman that year. Kat was frustrated she had the foundational knowledge from her nutrition degree but still couldn't figure out what to do to get the physical results she wanted. 

She did weight watchers for a short period of time- but it created more of that good/bad food mentality. Despite being very active and eating “healthy”, she got to her highest weight. Kat was tired of being stuck in a cycle of viewing food as “good” or “bad” and not feeling confident when she looked in the mirror.

Kat knew there was a piece of the puzzle she was missing and that’s why she came to us.

During her first three months, Kat:

-Went through our Flexible Reverse Dieting System

-Increased her calories by nearly 400 per day

-Slowly started introducing previously “off limits” foods 

-Was doing less cardio and only resistance training 3 days per week

-Focused more on sleep and stress management

During those 3 months, Kat:

-Noticed clothes were fitting better

-Saw more muscle definition

-Consistently set PRs in the gym

-Got more comfortable visualizing portion sizes

-Felt confident practicing intuitive eating

-Completely transformed her mindset around nutrition and exercise 

Ultimately, she felt more freedom when it came to eating and moving her body!

After that she continued into our Forever Fit program, and lost 25lbs while eating more and running less.

During the time she was a client, she made a huge move to NYC! While she was adjusting to her new life in a brand new city, she gave herself more opportunities to practice intuitive eating. Kat spent the first year of coaching building her foundation with tracking, and because of that, she was able to feel empowered to confidently navigate her nutrition goals without having to rely on tracking in MFP! 

She has come so far along with her relationship with food, moving away from the all or nothing mindset, and finding her version of balance! 

Now, whether she is tracking or not, she feels confident in her ability to make intentional nutrition decisions and she notices she naturally gravitates towards staying hydrated, prioritizing protein, adding a fruit or vegetable, and listening to her hunger and fullness cues!

Listen in as we talk about her experience, some initial hesitations as she started with the program, non-scale victories, moving to NYC and her food relationships, and more!
