Have Confidence

"First, to feel like a smoke show you need to have confidence. Confidence isn't about perfection; it's about owning who you are, flaws and all. When you feel good physically and mentally, your confidence will naturally shine through," she writes.
Strength Training
to improve your body image "start strength training," she continues. "Studies have shown that following a strength program boosts self confidence. So if you're still just doing cardio, this is your memo to start adding in strength! I recommend 3-4x a week."
Wear Flattering Clothes
Next, "wear clothes that are flattering," she suggests. "I love to follow creators who share my body type and style. If you are still waiting for your old faves to fit again, it's time to invest in some new clothes. I also recommend going into a store like Evereve where they help you pick out clothes that actually fit and look good on your body type."
Prioritize Self-Care by Sleeping
Her next suggestion? Prioritize self-care "especially when it comes to sleep," she says. "Getting 7-8 hours of sleep is so important for hormone regulation (hello, leptin and ghrelin staying in check to avoid overeating), energy and motivation, reduced stress and improved metabolism."
Eat Enough Protein
Amp up your protein intake. "Eat 30-40g of protein at every single meal. This helps preserve your muscle, build new muscle, promote satiety, support bone health and balancing blood sugar levels," she writes.
Get Your Steps in

Tie up your walking shoes and "aim to get 7500-10,000 steps every day," she writes. "This helps with weight management, bone health, MOOD and improving sleep."
Track Macros
Finally, "track macros at least 1x/wk," she suggests. "This is because most of my new clients aren't eating enough! This allows you to see visually and feel how much food you need for optimization based on your goals. I help my new clients figure out their target macronutrients based on their diet history."
Remember, You Are Worthy!
Her final message? "You deserve to feel like a smokeshow in 2025. You are worthy of feeling confident in your skin," she writes.
