Many can struggle to tone up and put themselves on restrictive diets in order to do so.
But as fitness guru Lizzy High pointed out, this isn't actually a good idea as it's not sustainable. As long as you maintain a balanced lifestyle, you can get trim without ditching the foods you love the most.
The 22-year-old, from North London, better known as Liz Bites Back to her 419,000 Instagram followers, recently shared some really good tips on how to pull it off.
She shared two pictures of herself side-by-side to reveal how her body has changed within the last year. Even though she looked amazing in 2023, it's evident to see she's toned up quite a lot.

She revealed how she made simple changes to transform her bod (liz.bitesback/Instagram)Writing on Instagram, Lizzy said: "How I lost fat without being restrictive or cutting out my favourite foods. It’s all good losing fat. but if you want to maintain your physique and not gain 10lbs after. Then you need to make sustainable, non restrictive changes.
"Here are some things you can do to lose fat without going to extremes. Firstly you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat.
"Rather than eating like 1200kcals, start in a 2-300kcal deficit then increase it if your body doesn’t respond for a couple of weeks. Aim for a minimum of 2g of protein per kg of bodyweight. I actually normally average higher and this helps a lot with recovery and keeping satiated. Increase your NEAT so you burn more.
"Follow a structured workout plan. I’ve really been training with intensity and tracking all my workouts, so I’ve managed to maintain a lot my muscle mass in a fat loss phase to get that ‘toned’ look. "Make macro friendly/healthy versions of the foods you love. I have loads of healthy burgers and pizza and pasta recipes on my reels.
"Make small swaps e.g where you normally drive to places, walk. Or where you normally have a full fat Coke, have a diet one. Small changes make a big difference.
"See everything as an average e.g if your step goal is 10k steps, if one day is 6k and one day is 14k that’s fine as it will average out. Don’t skip out on social events. Life is too short to miss out on life. Just be prepared and nourish your body properly before and after."
Since she shared the post, over 5,400 people have liked it, and her followers were quick to comment too. They told her she looked "unreal", and thanked her for sharing the advice.
One person said: "Wow - what a transformation." Another wrote: "Every single point here - you’re amazing."
