227. Your Body Is NOT Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant Results
Tue Feb 03 2026
I’m just going to say it…
Your body is NOT Amazon Prime.
You don’t hit “order” on macros and wake up with your dream body 2 days later! Honestly, this expectation is why SO many people keep quitting.
I see and hear it constantly from ladies: they track their macros for a couple of days (maybe a week), don't see the scale move, and immediately decide “nope - it’s not working”.
But…let’s be real. Did you GAIN 20 pounds in two days? No. So, why would you expect to lose it that fast?!
The truth you need to hear? Your expectations are the problem - not your effort, your plan, or your body. not your body. What actually needs to change is how you measure progress, and how quickly you expect results!
I’m not mad at you for feeling frustrated - I’m mad at an industry that sells instant transformations, detoxes, shortcuts, and hype without education.
Your body needs time, consistency, muscle, nourishment, and trust. Stop quitting on yourself, and instead, start COMMITTING to yourself!
Episode recap:
Why your body is NOT Amazon Prime + why expecting instant results keeps you stuck in the quit-restart cycleHow unrealistic expectations are often the actual problemThe real reasons the scale doesn’t “reward” you right awayHow to reframe your timeline for progressWhat frustration after “2 days of tracking” is really fueled byThe simple 12-week contractWhy my real frustration is with the industry (not you)
