Losing weight in the age of TikTok feels like cooking jollof while someone keeps changing the seasoning — one minute it’s Ozempic, then it’s the 30-30-30 method, and before you blink, the carnivore diet is trending. With so many fads fighting for attention, it’s easy to forget that sometimes the simplest approach is the one that sticks.
Enter Bri Gale, a TikTok fitness creator who’s skipping the gimmicks and bringing it back to basics with something she calls the ABCD Method. Think of it as four steps, equal parts practical and mindset-shifting, that remind us health isn’t about hacks — it’s about consistency, clarity, and care. And yes, before we dive in, let’s say this loud: your body is already good enough. This is about clearing up the noise, not dictating how anyone should look.
A is for Are (Mindset Matters)
It starts in your head. If you don’t believe you can hit your health goals, you probably won’t. But if you back yourself with confidence? You’re far more likely to keep moving, keep eating well, and keep showing up even after a rough day. Each choice, from walking ten minutes to nailing your protein goal at breakfast, tells your brain: I can do this.
B is for Basics
Forget quick fixes. The building blocks of health are timeless: whole foods, water, movement you enjoy, and walking. Not trendy, but reliable — and way easier to maintain than hopping on the latest diet craze.

C is for Consistency
Doing the small things daily matters more than any grand gesture. Whether it’s lifting weights three times a week or drinking four cups of water before lunch, the magic lies in routine. Once those habits settle in, they stop feeling like chores and start feeling like second nature.
D is for Discipline
Motivation is cute, but discipline is the real MVP. It’s what pushes you to choose that Pilates class over doom scrolling, or a home-cooked meal over fast food, even when you’re tired. Discipline is remembering why you started — for energy, for strength, for confidence — and acting on that when the hype fades.
The ABCD Method isn’t a shortcut to losing weight, but that’s the point. It’s a reminder that health doesn’t live in the next viral trend — it lives in the choices you make every day, and the belief that you’re already capable of more than you think.
