K so let’s just say that Iam in a serious need for a short cut before this Christmas πŸ™‚ !!! (I’m probably one of the 100000 girls thinking this right now)
This is what works for me, food prep weekly and counting calories, this is pretty much the only way I really see a result on my cuts, I can’t emphasize enough how beneficial it is to have everything pretty much ready for the week, it makes a huuugeeee difference when it comes to sticking to the cut. Good luck!!!! Happy Holidays!
