Hey Fit Fam,
Ms. Princess here—your vibrant, energetic 60-year-old Fit Mom! Still strong, still glowing, and still on a mission to help YOU live your healthiest life.

This week, I’ve got something that might just change how you look at your weight loss goals and muscle building journey—for good.

Let me introduce you to Fit Hack #23 of 2025.
It’s clever, It’s simple, and it was gifted to me by none other than my brilliant son.

The Fit Hack: Move the Scale to the Fridge

Instead of keeping your scale in the bathroom, slide it over to the place where it really matters—right in front of your refrigerator.

Sounds wild, right? But trust me, it works.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about mindful eating and reminding yourself that every food choice either supports or delays your progress—whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The scale isn’t there to shame you. It’s just a gentle nudge—reminding you to stay focused and choose wisely.

Why Diet if You’re Already Fit?

Great question.

I don’t believe in fad diets or extreme plans. iLivFit is all about healthy living through balance. But sometimes? You just want to challenge your body. Reset. Awaken your metabolism.

So this month, I decided to take things up a notch and test out something powerful: Intermittent Fasting (IF).

Intermittent Fasting for Fat Loss & Muscle Gain

Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet. It’s a meal timing strategy. When done correctly, it gives your digestive system a break and lets your body tap into fat stores for energy.

In ancient times—think cavemen—we didn’t have constant access to food. We fasted by default. And guess what? Our bodies are still wired that way.

When you fast, your body begins to:

Burn stored fat / Boost human growth hormone (hello, muscle gains!) / Improve metabolic flexibility / Strengthen cellular repair

So yes, this Fit Mom is fasting—and feeling strong, lean, and full of energy.

Celebrities Who Swear by Intermittent Fasting

Let’s talk about some celebs who use intermittent fasting for weight loss and muscle definition:

Terry Crews – This powerhouse of a man eats all his food in an 8-hour window and fasts for 16. His chiseled physique? Proof that intermittent fasting builds muscle without fat.

Halle Berry – She combines intermittent fasting with her keto lifestyle to stay fit and manage her blood sugar. At 50+, she looks like she’s in her 30s.

Chris Hemsworth – Yep, Thor himself. Chris reportedly used intermittent fasting during his training for movie roles to cut body fat and enhance muscle visibility. The results? Legendary.

🔥 Fit Challenge: The 7-Day Fridge Scale Reset 🔥

Ready to level up your fitness mindset? For the next 7 days, move your scale in front of your fridge and commit to mindful eating with purpose. Each time you reach for a snack or meal, pause and ask yourself: “Is this fueling my fat loss or muscle gain goal?” Pair this with a 16:8 intermittent fasting window (fast for 16 hours, eat within 8), and track how your energy, cravings, and discipline shift. It’s not about perfection—it’s about awareness. Snap a pic of your scale in its new home, tag @iLivFit, and use the hashtag #FridgeScaleChallenge to join the movement!
