In this video I'm going to go over my 90 day transformation and how to lose stubborn belly fat.

I’d always wanted defined abs.

I would diet. Be super restrictive. Lose weight. Get skinny.

And ultimately rebound.

I came to the conclusion I just would never truly get definition.

I had muscle, but just felt abs were never going to be possible for me.

That’s when I finally stopped making excuses and embraced tracking macros.

Through tracking macros, I learned exactly what I needed to get defined abs.

And trust me…that first time, the struggle to get lean was real. It took consistency and perfection past the point I wanted to quit.

It’s not easy to push your body to a point it feels is super unnatural. A point it has NEVER been near before.

That’s why I wanted to share how I FINALLY got abs for the first time and the tools I use with clients to help them overcome that hurdle and see the ab definition they thought was impossible to achieve.

But before I do, I’m going to tell you that you NEED to embrace tracking if you want to get abs and I’ll go over a ratio I think can be key during that cutting process for those of us especially who store fat around our middle.

I want to share 3 tips I’ve found to be essential in losing that stubborn belly fat as well as a full day of eating at this key cutting ratio.

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.

[poetryofmath]

Really appreciate someone actually saying the truth. Too many influencers saying it's easy. It's not you have to be meticulous. I'm at 19% and get the next 10 lbs of fat off is super hard.

[brendalydaphnegonzalez]

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..

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 ☺️😉

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.

[desireebragg]

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! 👊

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 🎉

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.

[arlenehansen]

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

[kimberleywynbergen]

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

[hannahkathleen]

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. 😊

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!!

[Gerry.D]

Hi. First of all - you look mind blowing 😊🥳🥰 Second, I’d like to ask what kind of protein we should replace the meat if we are vegans? I’ll truly appreciate your answer. What i know is that part of the carbs are also meat protein substitutes (like beans) but how we get to combine them in ratio with the carbs and fats in order to get 50/30/20 or 50/40/10? Thanks a million! 🤗☀️

[mariatyrrell]

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

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 YouTube! 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.

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

[hanellefourieblair]

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

[lolalee]

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.
