Holly Hagan lost 50 pounds, and is showing off her transformation! In a new social media post the influencer shows off her strong and slender body in a two-piece exercise set during a sweat session at the gym, revealing all of her diet and workout secrets. “If I was starting my 50lb fat loss journey from scratch these are the 5 things I’d be focusing on,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything that she did to lose weight.
She's Got Into A Calorie Deficit
“So many people overestimate their activity level meaning they are consuming more calories than they require for fat loss. When they don’t lose on the scales after a few weeks they are then upset and think a calorie deficit doesn’t work for them.. a calorie deficit will always work, you just need to find the right number for you,” she says.
She Weighed Her Food

Taking that extra 5 minutes to weigh your food means you are far more likely to be hitting your numbers,” she says.
She Got Her Steps In
She also made sure to walk. “Prioritising steps over savage workouts is key. It’s low impact, low intensity and free. It’s also great for mental health to get out in the fresh air,” she reveals.
She Fulfilled Her Cravings
Also, she didn’t deprive herself. “Eating everything you love and crave is a huge key to success. The more we cut out the more we crave. If you allow the foods you love daily without guilt you are far more likely to succeed long term,” she said.
She Was Consistent
Finally, she stuck to her plan. “We do not defy science. A calorie deficit will always work for you. If you are not losing weight on the scales this can be for so many reasons!! The scales are weighing the total mass of your body and not just fat. Consistency is key!” she concludes the post.
