If you wanted to lose 10lbs, what’s the first thing you’d do?
Most women either eat less… or work out more.
But without a clear plan, this often leads to frustration, burnout, and regaining the weight even faster.
After working with female riders all over the world, here are the 6 fat-loss principles that actually work — and they don’t require starvation diets, endless cardio, or wrecking your metabolism.
Reverse Engineer the Goal
Set a clear timeline. If your goal is 10lbs, decide when you want to get there, then work backwards. This allows you to safely set your nutrition, training, and lifestyle changes to match your timeframe. No more guessing or rushing.
Prioritise Sleep
Less than 6 hours of sleep makes you up to 30% more likely to hold onto body fat and crave sugary, fatty foods. Why? Cortisol.
To fix this:
Set a bedtime alarm 30 minutes before bed
Switch off screens and wind down
Stop drinking water an hour before sleep
Move Your Body – Focus on Steps
Instead of punishing workouts, start with walking. Steps are low impact, fit easily into daily life, and help maintain a calorie deficit without overtraining. Track your weekly average and keep it consistent.
Nutrition is Key
Preparation beats willpower every time. Plan your meals, hit your calorie and protein targets, and avoid relying on whatever’s “available” when you’re hungry.
Track Your Progress
Daily weight can fluctuate for reasons that have nothing to do with fat. Instead, focus on:
Weekly weight averages
Measurements of waist, arms, back, and glutes
Progress photos in consistent conditions
Tracking your cycle to see patterns
Plan for After the Fat Loss
If you go straight back to old habits, you’ll regain the weight quickly. Reverse diet — gradually increasing calories while maintaining activity to keep your results.
Bonus Tip: Work with a coach for support, accountability, and a plan tailored to you.
