You’re done with 1,200-calorie torture, 6 AM bootcamps, and weighing chicken like it’s a science project.

The ALTR Promise:

Eat like a nutritionist. Lift like a minimalist. Walk like a hot girl. Sleep like fat loss is decided at night (it is).

No spreadsheets. No starvation. Just science that works while you chill.


Calorie Counting Is a Scam (And It Ruins Your Metabolism)

Here’s what actually happens when you restrict:

  • Thyroid tanks → energy = zero

  • Muscle melts → metabolism slows

  • Hormones revolt → cravings + bloat

  • Rebound gain → 80% regain more in 2 years

ALTR Truth:

Your body doesn’t count calories, it counts nutrients.

1,200 cals of donuts ≠ 1,200 cals of salmon + avocado.
One turns on fat-storage mode. The other turns on fat-burning mode.

Fix: Eat for nutrition, not numbers.


The Glow Plate: Your 60-Second Meal Formula

½ Plate: Fiber (spinach, berries, broccoli)

¼ Plate: Protein (salmon, eggs, Greek yogurt, lentils)

¼ Plate: Healthy Fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts)

Why it works:

  • Fiber → kills cravings, feeds gut microbiome

  • Protein → boosts metabolism 15–30%, preserves muscles

  • Fats → balances hormones, supports skin barrier

Lazy Girl Hack: Batch prep 3 Glow Plates on Sunday. Done.


Lift Heavy (3x/Week, 30 Mins)

Muscles = your 24/7 fat-burning engine.

The key is progressive overload: gradually increasing weight, reps, or difficulty to force adaptation.

The ALTR Glow Lift:
3 moves, 3 sets, 3x/week:

  1. Goblet Squat — hold weight at chest, squat until hips below knees

  2. Push-Up — chest to floor (knees OK), full body tension

  3. Deadlift — hinge at hips, lift weight from ground (kettlebell, jug, or bodyweight Romanian)

Progressive Overload Cheatsheet:

  • Week 1: 10 reps

  • Week 2: 11 reps

  • Week 3: 12 reps or add 5 lbs

Do it during Netflix. Multitasking = efficiency.


Walk Like a Hot Girl (10K steps daily)

NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) = all movement outside formal exercise. It’s the #1 fat-loss lever most people ignore.

Translation: Fidget, pace, dance, or walk the dog. Burn 300–500 calories without trying.

Lazy Girl Step Hacks:

  • Park far

  • Take calls walking

  • 10-min post-dinner walk (better sleep + digestion)

  • Pace during voice notes

Pro Tip: Cute step counter = accountability.


Sleep: Your Secret Fat-Burning Hormone

You can’t out-eat, out-lift, or out-walk chronic sleep debt.

Why sleep wins:

  • <6 hrs → 55% less fat loss, 89% more muscle loss (even in calorie deficit)

  • 7–9 hrs → leptin up, ghrelin down, insulin sensitivity restored

  • Deep + REM → growth hormone spikes, muscle repair, fat oxidation

The Lazy Girl Sleep Stack:

  • 7–9 hours: non-negotiable (set a bedtime alarm)

  • Magnesium glycinate: 300–400mg, 30 mins pre-bed (calms nervous system)

  • No screens 60 mins before: blue light kills melatonin 50%

  • Cool, dark, quiet room: 68°F, blackout curtains, white noise

  • Wind-down ritual: 10 mins journaling or 4-7-8 breathing

Bonus: Consistent bedtime ±30 mins = 20% better fat loss.
