If you are asking yourself if you will "ever lose the weight," the answer is yes, says one fat loss coach. However, it might take shifting your approach to diet and fitness. Lynlee Jacobson lost 20 pounds of fat in just 3 months after struggling with weight loss for many years. Now, she is a fat loss coach who helps other women get into shape, focusing on their gut health. "This is what worked for me," she writes in the post. Here are the 5 changes she made to get in shape.
She Was Close to Giving Up
"If you're feeling like you've lost hope. Like you'll never get back to feeling like yourself again. Like you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror. I get it. I've been there," she writes in the post. "I had just about given up & was trying to convince myself that I was 'happy' with how I looked, even though deep down I was desperately unhappy."

She Was Tracking Macros and In a Calorie Deficit
"It just felt like no matter how healthy I ate, how hard I pushed myself in the gym, how precisely I tracked my macros to be 'in a calorie deficit' – I kept gaining weight," she continued. "Like the harder I tried, the more bloated, puffy, & exhausted I became."
She Was Doing All the Wrong Thing
"What I didn't know at the time was that this was all working against me. The more I pushed, the more my body resisted. This is what I have learned since. You might want to save these tips for later," she continues.

She Focused on Hormonal Imbalances
The first thing she did was change her approach to hormones. "Hormonal imbalances, like high insulin or ghrelin, often make calorie-cutting ineffective," she writes. The solution? "Balance your hormones, and the weight can finally come off."
She Also Supported Her Gut Health
Gut health is also key, she says. "Bloating, inflammation, and weight gain often point to gut issues," she writes. "Supporting my gut with nutrient-dense foods made all the difference."
And Paid Attention to Metabolic Flexibility
She also implemented a new tactic. "I focused on building metabolic flexibility so I could burn both carbs and fat naturally," she writes. "This kept the weight off sustainably."

She Ate More Nutrient Dense Foods
She also paid attention to the type of food she was eating instead of looking just at the numbers. "I stopped counting calories," she reveals. Instead, she "started focusing on nutrient-dense foods, which helped me feel satisfied and nourished."
She Looked at "Modern Lifestyle" Factors
Finally, she looked at how "Our Modern Lifestyle Works Against us," she writes. "Stress, processed foods, and poor sleep disrupt our bodies. Aligning my diet and habits with ancestral principles finally broke the cycle of bloating and fatigue."
