Lindsay and Alex answer a question from the a BeStrong member Ohksana:
I have joined your Be Strong app. I am really liking your style of workouts and am excited to see how it can help me and challenge me. I do have to be honest, the longer rest periods are VERY hard for me. I am used to 45 seconds maybe up to 1 minute so I am trying to work on that. Thanks for the wonderful platform!!Chapters:

Lindsay shares how she completed an eight-week fat loss phase—six weeks before Mexico, one untracked week on vacation, and two weeks after—by focusing only on calories and protein (about 1640–1725 calories with a 120g protein minimum) plus a 14,000-step minimum, creating roughly a 25% deficit and losing about 4.5 pounds. She explains why scale weight fluctuates, why she kept the same plan except for a brief refeed to improve sleep, and why most people regain weight by ending the diet too soon and overshooting maintenance. She breaks down metabolic and hormonal adaptations (NEAT, efficiency, leptin/ghrelin, thyroid) and outlines “post-diet recovery” as a controlled transition to maintenance (her plan: 1950 calories, reduced steps to 8–10k, prioritize sleep) while tracking seriously and judging success by body composition, performance, and recovery rather than the scale.

Lindsay recaps a six-week 25% calorie-deficit fat loss phase she documented for her Be Strong community, emphasizing focusing on calories and protein, minimums for fats and fiber, and avoiding obsessive tracking. She explains why vacations don’t erase real fat-loss progress, detailing how water, sodium, carbs, alcohol, reduced training volume, and digestion can temporarily raise scale weight and change muscle fullness. She shares her untracked, intentional approach at an all-inclusive resort, a small weight increase, and how weight normalized slowly. Finally, she outlines plans for post-diet recovery and maintenance, adjusting steps and calories strategically while prioritizing sustainable lifestyle and body composition over scale numbers.
