8 Diet Tips to Lose Weight, According to Coach
Trish Koeslag is revealing her top tips for losing weight. In a new social media post, the women's nutrition and fitness coach, whose mission is to help women over 40 simplify macros and movement to lose weight, reveals exactly how she drops weight fast. "These save me when I'm dieting," she says, revealing her fat loss and muscle-building tips. Let's get into it."
She Eats Sweet Treats…In Moderation
Trish still eats sweets. "I eat chocolate every da, but…I eat it in moderation," she says in her post. "I weigh out a moderate portion of chocolate chips, and I'll add it to my last meal of the day (which is always something sweet like my ice cream or my chocolate mug cake). Eating foods you love, even when 'dieting' is a must."

She Doesn't Eat Foods Just Because They Are Healthy
'I don't buy into eating foods just because they're 'healthy' for me, but …I do prioritize whole foods 90% of the time because they offer the nutrients my body needs to thrive," she says. "If you don't like Brussels sprouts, don't eat them."
She Indulges in Cravings But Tracks Everything
"When I crave something, I eat it, but … I will weigh it and track it in my food tracking app (I use My Macros Plus). Because let's be honest if you eat something but don't track it, you've still eaten it; integrity is a must," she says.

After Three Days of "Non-Compliance," She Starts Over
"If I have 3 days of noncompliance, I pull the plug on fat loss, but … This doesn't mean I am a failure.
It means that we have seasons in our life; fat loss is not for every season," she says. I hope these tips help you when it comes time for your next fat-loss phase. But … I actually follow 1-3 even when I'm not in fat loss."
She Wakes Up Between 3 and 4 AM
In another post, she reveals that waking up early is also important. "I wake up between 3-4 am every day. I am a morning person; my energy and creative juices are abundant between 4 am 12 noon. Starting my day early lets me front-load all of my activity (steps, train, cardio) – that leaves the rest of the day for work and zero excuses not to get movement in," she writes.
She Also Meal Plans
"I plan my food out for the day. Having my meals planned out leaves little guessing when it comes to breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. And again, zero excuses not to stay aligned to my nutrition goals," she continues.
Hydration Is Also Important
Hydration is also key. "I drink 4L of water every day (with electrolytes). Yes, pure water – my 4L does not include coffee, tea, Diet Coke, etc. I love water and what it does for my digestion, hair, skin, and nails. I fill up my water bottle at night so that it's ready to go the next day; hence…zero excuses not to drink it," she explains.

She Gets Her Steps In
Walking is also instrumental in her weight loss. "I walk 10K+ steps. There are far too many benefits not to walk. And yes, even on my rest days….when did rest days turn into days of zero movement? That's beyond unreasonable. Get up and move," she maintains. And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these 15 Quick Ways to Lose Body Fat Percentage in a Week.
