Shelly - The Aussie Mum Coach

POV: You ask me why you’re not losing weight… and I answer every excuse I hear on repeat. 👀👇

❌ “I’m in a calorie deficit.”
❌ “But I barely eat.”
❌ “I exercise every day.”
❌ “I only do cardio.”
❌ “I don’t want to get bulky.”
❌ “But I do Pilates.”
❌ “I’m too scared to go to the gym.”
❌ “I can’t afford the gym.”
❌ “I don’t have time.”

Here’s the truth… most people don’t need more motivation. They need the right information. 💯

Fat loss isn’t about starving yourself, doing endless cardio, or spending hours in the gym. It’s about understanding what actually moves the needle and staying consistent long enough to see results. 🙌

If you’ve ever said one of these things, you’re definitely not alone… but you might be focusing on the wrong problem. ❤️

✨ Actual weight loss advice for beginners 👇

🥚 1. Stop having just coffee for breakfast.

Build a proper breakfast that contains protein 💪 to help keep you full, support your muscles and reduce mindless snacking later in the day.

Think:
🍳 Eggs
🥣 Protein yoghurt
🥣 Overnight oats with protein powder
🧀 Cottage cheese on toast
🥤 Protein smoothie

⏰ No time in the morning? Make it the night before so you can grab it and go!

🥗 2. Start packing a proper lunch.

This is especially important if you work in an office 💻 and constantly buy lunch on the go.

Takeaway lunches 🍔 can be much higher in calories, oils and fats than you realise, while sometimes containing barely any protein.

Instead, build your lunch around a protein source first 💪 then add:
🥔 Carbs
🥦 Veggies
🥑 Healthy fats

Ideas:
🌯 Chicken wraps
🍚 Tuna rice bowls
🍱 Leftover dinners
🥗 Salads with protein
🍝 Meal-prepped pasta with chicken or lean mince

🍽️ 3. Use the same structure for dinner.

Start with:
🥩 Protein
🥦 Vegetables
🍚 A sensible serving of carbohydrates
🥑 Healthy fats

❌ You do not need to cut out carbs.

But regularly choosing meals like protein-free pasta, cheesy pizza 🍕 or takeaway 🍟 can make it harder to stay full and reach your goals.

🍿 4. Upgrade your everyday snacks.

Instead of automatically reaching for:
🍟 Chips
🍪 Oreos
🍫 Chocolate
🍦 Ice cream
🧁 Muffins
🍰 Cakes

Try:
🥒 Pickles
🥣 Protein yoghurt
🍿 Popcorn
🧀 Cottage cheese
🐟 Tuna
🍘 Rice crackers
🥚 Boiled eggs
🍎 Fruit
🥤 Protein shake

❤️ And no, I’m not saying you can never eat pizza, pasta, chocolate or ice cream.

You absolutely can enjoy those foods—they just shouldn’t make up the majority of your everyday diet.

Learning the difference between everyday foods 🌿 and sometimes foods 🍕🍫 will make fat loss feel so much easier.

✨ These simple swaps might not seem exciting, but consistently making them can create a massive difference in your results! 💪🔥

When your period has other plans… 😂🩸

You absolutely nailed your nutrition, smashed your workouts, hit your step goal… then your period shows up and the scales suddenly act like you’ve gained 2kg overnight. 😅

Before you panic or throw your healthy habits out the window… don’t.

✨ This is completely normal.

During your period (and especially the days leading up to it), hormonal changes can cause:
💧 Water retention
🍟 Increased cravings
🤰 Bloating
⚖️ Temporary scale increases

It’s not body fat. You didn’t “ruin” your progress in a few days.

The worst thing you can do is let one weigh-in convince you that your plan isn’t working. Keep eating well, keep training, keep moving, and let your hormones do their thing. More often than not, that extra weight disappears once your cycle settles.

Fat loss isn’t about what the scales say today—it’s about the trend over weeks and months. 💖

Have you ever stepped on the scales during your period and instantly regretted it? 😂👇

🤍 Breakfast that tastes like dessert? Yes please. 🤤

If you’re always rushing in the mornings or struggle to hit your protein target, this is for you! 👇

This Cookies & Cream Overnight Chia Pudding is:

🚫 Cheat days are one of the biggest reasons people end up stuck in the “lose 5kg, gain it back, repeat” cycle.

Here’s why I don’t give my clients cheat days 👇

❌ They label foods as “good” and “bad”
❌ They create an all-or-nothing mindset
❌ They often turn into cheat weekends
❌ They can lead to binge eating and guilt
❌ They don’t teach you how to enjoy your favourite foods in moderation

Instead… I teach my clients how to eat pizza 🍕, chocolate 🍫, wine 🍷 and desserts 🍰 while still losing fat.

Because the goal isn’t to survive until your next cheat day…

✨ It’s to build a way of eating you actually enjoy and can stick to for life.

That’s how you lose the weight…
AND keep it off. 💪❤️
