Lauren’s fat loss transformation

  • Lauren started her health improvement journey in September 2018 at 210 pounds, using CrossFit and a significant calorie deficit which made her irritable and tired.
  • She adopted the RP Diet Template for more structured eating, starting at 189 pounds, and transitioned more into weightlifting, ending her cut at 170 pounds.
  • Lauren struggled with having a large amount of food due to her prior restrictive eating habits, but noticed progress as she continued to lose weight.
  • Trusting the process was challenging, especially when the scale didn't reflect expected results, but progress pictures helped Lauren shift her perspective on weight.
  • She appreciated the simplicity and effectiveness of the RP Diet Template, which made it easier to make healthy food choices.
