The 5 lever system to feel 5 pounds lighter (inside and out)

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Fabulous friends!
​
Steal this 5 lever system our community is using to feel 5 pounds lighter by 2026.

Are you using any of these less obvious levers?

  1. ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS (UPF) ↓
    If it has more than 5 ingredients, a long shelf life, or ingredients you can’t pronounce, it’s out.
    This helps cells exit inflammatory states → less joint irritation, less belly bloat, less gas.
    Common removals: protein bars, packaged chips, leftover Halloween candy, store-bought baked goods.
    Homemade treats in moderate amounts stay in.
    ​
    ​
  2. NON-STARCHY FIBER ↑
    Two handfuls of vegetables at each meal.
    No chopping. No washing.
    Prewashed kale, arugula, spinach; kimchi; blanched artichoke/broccoli/cauliflower; precut cabbage.
    Foods that store well and require no prep.
    Note: frozen berries = ~5g fiber per cup and can cover that late-afternoon craving.
    ​
    ​
  3. MOVE AFTER 2–3 MEALS/DAY
    Walking. Seated banded abductions. Air squats between meetings.
    This shifts glucose into muscle tissue instead of leaving it circulating and later stored in adipose tissue.
    ​
    ​
  4. 50G PROTEIN BEFORE NOON
    Bone broth early morning + protein shake mid-morning + simple chicken wrap by midday = ~60g without effort.
    ​
    ​
  5. SWAP 10 MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME
    The four levers above require no extra net time when you make this trade.
    This also compounds by helping you exit fight/flight, where the body tends to cling to fat.

**The Bonus lever: regular sessions with your therapist because we can't get lighter on the outside if our inside is heavy.
​

If you’re down ~5 pounds in the last 11 days of 2025, it’s mostly water.
That loss comes from reduced gut irritation, calmer nervous system signaling, and lower cellular inflammation—not fat loss yet.
Fat loss comes next, when the system starts to automate and frees up cognitive load so you can keep getting leaner and stronger.

​More systems coming to the community. Step-by-step. Day-by-day. Built to run without thinking so staying lean doesn’t require willpower in 2026.

Cheers to thriving in 2026,

Alyssa

Hi Fabulous Friends! Week 3 is where most people quit their new year diet/exercise program. Not because something is wrong with them.Because effort feels high and results feel non existent. We’re calling it out and choosing to be proactive, not reactive. I’m sending a short burst 10 email series to move us out of the quitters window and into the next phase.Life is already hard. We don’t need to make it harder. Here’s the truth plans don’t explain: The effort → results curve is not linear....

If the goal is preserving and building muscle, breakfast is one of your best daily decisions. Here’s why: After ~10–12 hours without food, your body is primed to absorb nutrients—especially the amino acids from protein.This is a high-efficiency window. When you hit it, you get more return for the same effort. A lot of women overlook it. What I commonly hear:“I’m not hungry, plus there’s not enough time.”They figure the calorie reduction from a skipped meal will be beneficial. But for women,...

Hi Fabulous Friends!! The same mindset we try to teach the kids about becoming mentally strong athletes is the exact same mindset required to get healthier, stronger, and leaner as adults. Yet it’s almost completely overlooked. That’s why so many well-intentioned people are getting sicker instead of stronger—not because they’re lazy or undisciplined, but because they’re missing the framework. In sports, mistakes aren’t failures—they’re crucial data. They reveal the constraint. After Kobe...
