Meal Plan To Lose Stubborn Belly Fat (3 TIPS PLUS MEALS) 

I've counted my macros and weighed and measured everything since the end of July of 2018 and I lost over 160 pounds, still working on the definition of my abs.

Thank you for being brutally honest about the sacrifice it takes, and also how annoying it is to track everything you eat. It might be obvious, but even you just acknowledging it makes me feel better.

I have been on the macro journey for several years and I really enjoy you're content!! you break down so many things and actually answer many questions other macro coaches hint at but don't give precise info. thank you for being a cut above the others

I've been tracking and weigh my food. I managed to lose 54lb in the last 2 yrs. I carry my weight and stubborn fat in my midsection. This is my one last thing I've been wanting to achieve ab definition and loose this belly fat that remains. I workout 3 to 5times a week and my calories are set at 1593. This video hopefully gets me where I long to be..

Cory you never disappoint, always great advice

When I started tracking it made me realize how much I needed to increase my protein. It's taken a while of tracking and consistency, but this tiny little girl is finally starting to see SOME definition. And that makes me happy because my goal isn't necessarily to be bulky ☺️😉

Great video. Really appreciated you talking about the mental struggle - how it's not easy to do this. Yummy meal ideas too.

Great video, I needed this information. Thank you! 💪🏽

I so needed to hear this. I'm am struggling to get from 20% bodyfat to %17. I am having a hard time fighting those cravings you talk about....many times I'm not even hungry. I need to embrace being a little uncomfortable to reach my goal.

Love this video thanks for breaking it all down. My mid section is always the hardest for me to loose. And I’ve been stuck at the same weight for a few months now

Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge! I’ve been following everything you teach and I’m seeing amazing results. ❤️❤️

Thanks for really breaking that all down! Super helpful

Since watching your videos I started tracking my macros and I find it so addicting in a good way now! I even have my husband on board with his support. I’m now 6 lbs away from my goal weight. If I do not see the definition after 6 lbs I’ll change up my macros percentages again. Great tips here, Ty! 👊

You are always so helpful ! Thank you 😀

Still one of my fav hip mobility routines. Love your channel, Tom.

Really appreciate this and all your videos! Thank you!

I am really motivated to try the mentioned macro ratio. Already at my goal weight and ready to see some definition! Here we go! One day at a time. 😊

Thank you for sharing such an intimate look into your exact foods.. AND your personal goals for a figure you wanted! I was so happy you showed when you pinched your skin… this is my ‘thing’. I’ve always had what seems like too much skin even as a child. Now that I’m in Perimenopause I’ve notice muscle shrinking which leaves me with even MORE room and more skin! ( well not more but droopy) my thoughts were to gain back muscle to fill out but I’d love to hear your recommendation please? Thank you for delivery amazing content ALWAYS! 🙏🏻 💜 💪🏻

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you for the motivation to push through :)

Your inclusion of peanut butter and the donut 🍩 made me save the video. 3 yrs ago I lost weight the wrong way an got down to 128lbs, at 53. I'm now 56 and eating healthier, my mental is better and embracing me staying present. I have gained back my hips, thighs and behind, I would like to get more lower body muscle, can u do a video on this please.

super helpful video on the macro counting and portions

Some useful and great tips, thank you!

I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for your videos!

I am a fairly new subscriber and am extremely pleased with your wealth of information. You are succinct and get right to the point. Your videos are very professional, i.e., excellent lighting, with high sound quality, and you have a great videographer. It's all good, and I'm glad that I stumbled across your channel of Redefining Strength. You are very knowledgeable and therefore, a wonderful teacher. In this particular video, I am so appreciative of your explanation and graphics of macros. You simplified something that I see as very complex. You even offer percentages/grams, along with your standard deviation preferences. I am also impressed with your education and in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology and the science of kinesiology. I will definitely lean on you for valid, trustworthy information. I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and >40 pounds overweight. Initially, I was in a panic because I have seen the chronic and devastating effects of diabetes. It's a killer disease, and I don't think doctors really want to cure it. Reason: Dr. Robert Lustig's books and talks say it all: Big Pharma is making HUGE profits($ billions) off of the diabetic population. Conclusion: I'M ON MY OWN. However, you taught me the importance to get moving and eat right again (as I did when I was young--I am 77 years old now). You have definitely inspired me to get out there to do my best work. Before I found you, I was at a loss and feeling depressed with my old age, loss of most loved ones, etc...and they call this "The Golden Years."! Boo Hiss! On the bright side, you have given me motivation, inspiration, AND NOW THE TOOLS to get myself out of this slump of low energy, fat and flabby, etc. For once the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT an oncoming train. Angels come in many forms. Never thought I'd find mine on RU-vid! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are indispensable to me and, I'm sure, to hundreds of thousands of others. Keep doing what you're doing. Last but not least, what are your adorable Poodles' names? How old are they? Adding them to the picture is a nice touch.

So inspirational. You’ve convinced me that I can do it! 👍🏻💪🏼

This information is priceless, so incredibly valuable!! I love your funny facial expressions too. God bless you! I'm going to do this!! 218 want to be 118lbs. and strong!!

You’ve been so helpful in my journey!!! Can’t thank you enough for sharing your tips and knowledge with us!!

Great tips!!!! I am grateful for the specifics. That really helps me. This confirmed my calorie goal was right but my macro ratio was all off.

Thank you for this video. Very motivating. Tracking IS a nuisance, no two ways about it, so a frequent push n remind vid is great. Keep them coming! 🙏💪🏻😍

Great video . Loved the dogs at the end though 😍

I needed this right now. Thanks xo

Newish subscriber... love your channel. I need to start from the beginning with your videos. So much useful info. Btw kinda off topic a little, but I love your dogs! Thank you for sharing!!

exceptional work. thank you

LOVED this video! I think what helped the most for me is to go back and see at what ratio I've been consuming my macros on the days that I did track. And also, it helped me understand that pre-prepping with a goal and purpose is much, much easier to wrap my head around vs not knowing where I'm headed with my tracking. I've been tracking my macros on and off since Nov. Started working out last month, but was also not consistent. This gives me a peace of mind perspective to plan my meals, prep them and stay on track with my workouts to get to the 10lb fat loss goal and start putting on more muscle. Q: should I increase macros if I'm going from working out two days to five days per week? I'm planning doing 3 lifting days on 2 cardio & ab days.

Crazy macros! I am happy to see that you go that high on the protein because I thought I might be excessive at times.

Awesome! Thanks for all the info. I need to lose 5 % BF and I refuse to track everything. Now you convinced me. I cant wait to see the results

Great video! I've been tracking macros for 5 years. I've kept my weight in check but never hit the weight I want. On top of it, I'm on the verge of menopause. This seems like a good option to change things up.

Great video!! Thank you.

Very helpful, thanks!!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Very nicely done. Good job

Thank you for your insights! 🙏

This is sooo informative and funny at the same time! You facial expressions are so spot on😆😂😆😆! Thank you!

Actually, posting my comment 13 days ago made me think intuitively afterwards and I must confess, I have now challenged myself to try counting my macros the following day after my post and I must say, so far, I feel great seeing what I eat out of habit and creating new habits that contributes to my fitness goals. I have now realised how challenging it is to reach protein macros when on a plant- based diet and I also think it will also be challenging for meat eaters, as meat has its own downfalls when you eat so much of it. So I will like to say thank you to redefining strength. For making this video.

Love the cookie recipe analogy!!!!

Cori, great advice, looks yummy and puts our body (mind) on track to success 👍 Thank you for sharing 💜 =) Jesse

Finally diet recommendations that mąkę sens. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! Which macro app would you recommend?

I'm new to your channel, and really love your content, thanks! Is there a macro tracker app that you'd recommend?

You look amazing! I loved seeing what the food intake looks like. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

Love this video glad I found you !!!

Love the 'recipe' analogy x

I would like to start this new program to get leaner and stronger, the meals plan? Thanks so much for your very informative videos !

Your facial expressions crack me up! Thank you for this helpful video.

Thank you! I find your videos very inspiring - not only because of your achievements and clear information, but also how your personality shines through (I love that you are delighting in your abs in the mirror - I would too!) I was wondering if this would apply to women in menopause? I am doing lots to change my weight but have a long way to go.

Wow you definitely are the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for the information. Do you have any easy high protein recipes without loads of oil.

WOW, I LOVE IT And your faces you pull …great help to know

Love your honesty 🤟🏼

Good video! I’m a male and weigh about 240 and body type is endomorph. What would be the suggested macro ratio for me in your opinion? I work out 4-5xs a week. Mostly resistance training. Thanks!!

Hello! Your videos are so informed and informative! You’re a trove of wisdom, and I thank you for sharing it with us! How do you find out your metabolic rate?

This is a great video, I appreciate that you put the time into it. I was recently trying keto, mainly because I sleep far better, and feel better overall. I was keto for about 8 years, then added carbs back for about 9 months, and now I’m back to keto.clearly I’m a tad lost.

Great video. Very helpful. And those babies are sooooo cute!!!

Thanks so much for sharing 💓🏋🏾‍♀️ Please can you share the app you use for tracking

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙌🏼 What app do you recommend count our macros?

Thank you! So helpful 🤟

Always very informative. A question though, once you’ve lost the weight around your mid or another stubborn area, can you get back to maintenance without gaining it back? I have learned about reverse dieting, but have yet to try it. Obviously staying in a cut phase like this isn’t realistic. I was at 1350 for 12 weeks and had incredible progress. I lost just under 20lbs and maintained all my muscle mass. But I’ve since gained 5lbs back. It’s not a big deal, I’m inlove with my body still. I am moving towards maintenance or possibly a bulk but just curious your thoughts about the best way to transition without gaining the fat back.

I love your info on all your videos but what are your protein suggestions for those that don’t eat meat?

I just discovered your video. I have trained and dieting for years enjoying the body of looking like a fitness competitor but not being one. I loved how the discipline overflowed in many aspects of life . I had glute and hip pain kick in along the journey which resulted in less workouts . I haven’t trained since 2019! I needed up with glute medius and Maximus tears, which I still have to this day, hip arthroscopic surgery in 2019 then same hip replaced in 2020, knee arthroscopy for meniscus tear in 2022 , plantar faciitus in 2022 and chronic neck, trap pain for over two years as well. All of this while losing my mom, my son being hospitalized and almost dying from A drug overdose. One of my daughter losing them home with her baby and husband in a fire in 2020. My other daughter coming home with a baby from an abusive relationship of seven years . I have been in survival mode and prioritizing everyone else I have given up on myself and Gaines 50 lbs. I desperately need to get back on track . Focusing on my diet . I feel like me vicariously experiencing my children’s trauma has caused me to forget a lot. I’m overwhelmed with getting back on track . I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to them. I still feel overwhelmed

Great advice. I really enjoy these. Any tips for traveling. I am stuck in hotels across the world for 30 days or more at least 3 or 4 times a year and it seems to kill my ability to track macros correctly.

You are so understanding

Appreciate the comparison... tracking & recipe for baking

Great video

Very nice video!

I started tracking on 1st January this year. A good tip is to plan out the meals for a few days ahead and put them in my tracker ahead of time. This way i can relax and enjoy the meals in the days ahead without worrying about the tedious work of tracking. Its like when you're meal prepping. You do a few days worth of food so in the coming days you will not deal with the work because you already got it done ❤ This technique also means that you can tweak and manipulate your macros and calories ahead of time too. I now do this and it is helping me not obsess over food and enjoy my meals 🎉

Thanks so much for this great presentation... Is it possible to get a weekly meal menu with recipes for 65 yo female

We need so many other women influencers like this. So excited to find this video

This is so good! Thanks 💪🏾🔥

What tracker do you suggest? I'm sure they aren't all equal and I don't know how to tell which are better. Very glad to have found your videos. Menopause isn't being very nice and I really do need to do better. Do you have a basic program that takes the guess work out of it for folks very new to all of this?

Great Info...I have just set the reset button and ready to go. I want to show abs and get rid of my belly fat. Right now I'm skinny fat so I want to build muscle. Which App do use to track your macros.

Oh gosh.. I know it's b'cuz of my diet. My diet is sssooo poor! I'm 53 & my sugar craves/ eating with menopause is extremely out of control! As much as I eat u wud think I wud weigh 500pounds!! Thank God I do exercise so my weight stays below 160, but I'm NO WAY in shape. I really need 2 find away 2 mentally work on my diet. This video has definitely given me inspiration 2 really start thinking about it & working 2wards it. I'm glad she said 2 gradually cut ur calories down so ur body can adjust..u don't hear that from other trainers or fitness ppl. They state 2 jump right in! Lol So I will b focusing on gradually cutting as well. Thank u 4 this AWESOME video..definitely keeping & re-reviewing. Thank u! 👏👍💯💪🥰🤸‍♀️💃 PS. Love the puppies at the end. Beautiful!! 😍

New to the channel and really like it. Love the humor in it. I have stubborn belly fat and will be contacting you.

Excellent! Please post those recipes with the cut of beef also Thank you

Thank you for your videos and for sharing so much infos! What do you think about a lower carb approach, lowering the carbs you suggest in the video to around 50-70gr and upping up just a little bit the fats? What's your experience? Thank you very much!!💪🏻

Thanks for this informational video! You look amazing 👏 😍 could you maybe share a few info about overall sugar intake? I know you should bot get more than 10% of added sugar but what about sugar that comes from fruits/veggies? How much your overall sugar intake should be in order to lose the most fat?

Good stuff!!

Wow, I never heard of those proteins. I'm going to have to try them they look amazing. I just hope they test the way they look 😊

Hello- first and foremost, I think you’re amazing and I love the information you provide!!! I have a question please… You mentioned in the video that a macro ratio of 50%P/30%C/20%F is good for aggressive fat loss. You then said that you cycle it every 1-2 weeks with other ratios. When you are cycling the other ratios, are you generally staying in the same calorie amount daily? And is the reason for the cycling for hormonal purposes, but also to keep the body guessing (so to speak)?… Thanks!!!!! 😍

I love your videos and have always been in great shape but now that I am 56, it is not that I do not wish to work out, but I have developed chronic tendinitis on both arms so it flares up if I used weights and it limits my exercises. Can you talk about how to work out when in menapause and with tendon issues. I also had a fusion in my cervical area from a collapsed disk, so I started watching your videos to help me improve my posture which is forward, and also to see how to lose weight when my hormones seem all over.

Hello great video. Wicht app do you use to tracker your meals?

Perfect!!!!❤

Brilliant video, thanks so much. I'm always struggling to get the protein in being a vegetarian. So egg whites, tofu & pea protein powders are my go to.

Great video….. Which app do you use to track your macros? I would like to use an easy app with a barcode scanner too. Thanks for posting helpful and motivating videos.👍🏿

Cori! Such an informational video, thank you!! I have been tracking my macros for 50 days now 30P/40C/30P. I am seeing subtle changes enough to keep me going but I think it is time to tweak it. I never knew the 12x your bodyweight to get calories(I'm a macros newbie), and will give the 50P/30C/20F a try. Abs----it is time to shine!😅

"Embrace the suck of tracking" 😂. Love how relatable you are!

Yes, calorie tracking can be helpful in losing weight and understanding what you eat. But i got into an eating disorder because of tracking. i had a six pack and was not happy. tracking is not for everyone and should be taken with a grain of salt because i am still struggling with my disordered eating behaviour after two years without tracking.

Great tip about plan for dessert first and work backwards. How long can a person sustain calorie deficit.

Love yr videos n content n demonstrations. Just want to comment tho on someone who actually has stomach fat, please stop grabbing yr stomach skin n acting like it’s bad. Yr abs r amazing. So let’s keep it real. You earned it 💪🏼

Thanks. I'm going through menopause and this is tough. I have stomach fat that I never had before and it came instantly within the last couple of years. All of a sudden i cant wear the pants size i wore my whole life. I am trying to increase protein in my diet as i usually dont crave it that often. I love fruit of all kinds and i know it is healthy. Thanks for the videos!

Love your face w the burrito. Lol. I am always feeling like I'm starving when I diet.
