Lindsay and Alex answer a question from the a BeStrong member Ohksana:
I have joined your Be Strong app. I am really liking your style of workouts and am excited to see how it can help me and challenge me. I do have to be honest, the longer rest periods are VERY hard for me. I am used to 45 seconds maybe up to 1 minute so I am trying to work on that. Thanks for the wonderful platform!!Chapters:

Lindsay shares how she completed an eight-week fat loss phase—six weeks before Mexico, one untracked week on vacation, and two weeks after—by focusing only on calories and protein (about 1640–1725 calories with a 120g protein minimum) plus a 14,000-step minimum, creating roughly a 25% deficit and losing about 4.5 pounds. She explains why scale weight fluctuates, why she kept the same plan except for a brief refeed to improve sleep, and why most people regain weight by ending the diet too soon and overshooting maintenance. She breaks down metabolic and hormonal adaptations (NEAT, efficiency, leptin/ghrelin, thyroid) and outlines “post-diet recovery” as a controlled transition to maintenance (her plan: 1950 calories, reduced steps to 8–10k, prioritize sleep) while tracking seriously and judging success by body composition, performance, and recovery rather than the scale.
