MONDAYS MATTER CHRISTMAS
Fit Back Into Your Jeans in JustĀ 6 Weeks ā Without Tracking, Overwhelm, or Another āAll or Nothingā Diet
    
    
  
It's easy to fall back into unhelpful habits as we go about our day-to-day life. If the idea of falling āoff the diet wagon yet againā has you feeling like you've already failed, then just remember: there is no wagon. ThisĀ all-or-nothing mindsetĀ is one of the biggest pitfalls for anyone embarking on a fat loss plan. Perfection isnāt the goal; it's about resilience, consistency and continuing forward. The feeling of having "failed" just because you've hit a bump in the road is not only demoralising but also inaccurate.
The root of the problem isn't a lack of willpower;Ā it's the absence of a structured, realistic plan that fits your life.Ā Without it, even the most determined among us can feel lost, overwhelmed, and ready to throw in the towel. Ambition without direction is like setting out on a journey without a map. You know your destinationāstronger, leaner, capable and a happier youābut without a clear route, it's easy to lose your way.
This is especially true as we head into the festive season where the end-of-year get togethers, social occasions and festive celebrations crowd out our calendars.
Thatās why I created Mondays Matter
Join Mondays Matter. It is an 6 weekĀ comprehensive programmeĀ that encompasses education, community,Ā strength training andĀ access to the best information and expert people in the business of physical and emotional transformation.
The ChristmasĀ Edition of Mondays Matter starts on MondayĀ NovemberĀ 10th
Fasting without Feeling too Hungry
Protein sparing modified fasts (PSMF): Fasting is increasingly utilised as a tool to help drop body fat, however in some instances, there are concerns that the lower overall protein load in this scenario can cause accelerated muscle mass loss.Ā Muscle is ESSENTIAL to preserving metabolic rateĀ (i.e. the number of calories you burn every day to exist) and good amounts of muscle mass are associated with longevity. PSMF helps combine the best of both worlds.Ā Maintain protein intake on these days, reduced caloric load on that day, accelerate fat loss BUT not feel too hungry. On these days, you will consume predominantly lean protein-based foods, minimum 30g at each meal. There areĀ two PSMF days each week on this plan (both standard and vegetarian options).
Time Restricted Eating (TRE)
The only way to lose body fat, whichever way you spin it, is a calorie deficit. Regardless of whether you are keto, paleo, vegan or follow a consistently low calorie diet, anyone that successfully loses body fat does so because they burn more calories than they take in.Ā Time restricted eating (TRE) of between 8-12 hours can allow you to regulate appetite hormones and stabilise blood sugar. As such, we eat between 8-9h on a PSMF day and on other days we keep to a 12h window (i.e. between 8am-8pm).
Planned Flexibility
Many people are either on a diet or off a diet, there is no inbetween.Ā During this plan you will be able to go out and socialise, without fear of 'ruining it all' with metabolic reset meals both scheduled and flexible for it to fit into your festive calendar. While people fear that this will stall fat loss, in fact the psychological break from dieting, being able to enjoy eating with confidence that you're still on track allows you to continue your fat loss plan for longer than you would otherwise.Ā
Higher Protein to Support Fat Loss
Protein is a key nutrient to support fat loss - it takes longer to digest (keeping you fuller for longer), it regulates blood sugar levels (helping avoid cravings) and takes way more calories to digest than fat or carbohydrate - significant when creating a calorie deficit as every little bit counts.Ā If in doubt, turn to (lean) protein.
An Abundance ofĀ Vegetables to Regulate Appetite
Our stomach has receptors that let us know we have eaten enough food when they are stimulated, and this is related to food volume. For some people, this is a more important regulator of appetite than for others.Ā Most vegetables can be eaten freely without fear of overeating calories, and as such I encourage you to eat your fill at each meal to ensure you feel satisfied on non PSMF days. We will discuss which ones are best to fill up on.
StrengthĀ Training Plan
A 6-weekĀ metabolic conditioning plan created by Darren Ellis (who is our resident strengh training expert) is also included. Fat loss maintenance (and health and longevity) requires the preservation of muscle mass.Ā Resistance training is THE way to build and preserve muscle,Ā protecting your basal metabolic rate (BMR) which is naturally reduced as you lose weight. Darren is also on hand to help support you throughout the sixĀ weeks and these are designed to be time efficient to fit into your busy calendar.

"I know that I wouldn't have gotten through the program without the group and without Mikki, and I wouldn't be sitting here saying, hey, if you need or want to change your body composition, to build some muscle, to lose some fat, to get some energy, to get rid of some aches and pains to do any of the things that food can do for you, then Mikki's program is something to have a look at"
Katherine
"I'm 59. I'm 60 this year. I didn't wanna get to 60 and suddenly think, oh my God, I need to lose that five kilos. I wanted to just take action now. And I like what Mikki said about, look, just do it. There's no perfect time, you've just gotta make a start"
Eliza
"So for me, Mondays matter helped in keeping my weight stable in helping me reduce my Size from 14 to 10 which is a great achievement for me. The best thing, I've ever done"
