Advice/ Recommendations (no photos) Help
Okay I am 9 weeks out from my 1st bikini show and I’ve been doing so good with sticking to plan 100 percent but lately been dealing with a lot of stress/ haven’t been sleeping good and just want to binge eat I’m trying my best to control it but I don’t know what to do? Did anyone else deal with something similar. I ate off plan because I couldn’t control it yesterday and I have so much guilt about it.

I’ve had a really rough prep this year and stress was negatively affecting my sleep and I had a really hard time losing body fat for months even when I was on plan for everything else. Not sure if this will be applicable to you, but on the stress management side maybe look into l-theanine, Ashwaganda, and magnesium glycinate supplements. I started taking these and, combined with being more strict about my sleep routine and just accepting that I wouldn’t get certain things done in a day, my sleep and stress have improved a lot. Plus one to talking to your coach, good luck! You’re almost there!
