Anjuli Mack is a personal trainer based in Auckland, New Zealand, who inspires her 141,000 Instagram followers with her workouts, recipes, and healthy fat loss tips.
The 26-year-old hasn't always been an expert in fitness and fat loss, though, and describes her own health journey as a "rollercoaster."
It's been eight years since Mack became interested in nutrition and exercise, but she admits she initially made lots of mistakes, trying fad diets, developing an unhealthy relationship with food, and having no idea what she was doing in the gym, she told Insider.
Mack educated herself about healthy nutrition for fitness, learning about calories and macros, and went on to lose 22 pounds and compete in bikini competitions, though she says: "I was so lean and tiny but I couldn't maintain it."
Now strong and fit but at a slightly higher weight, Mack says she's "all about being healthy, balanced, and happy."
"My journey has been such a rollercoaster so I really hope that I can help others avoid making the same mistakes I did," she said.
The personal trainer shared the 10 lessons she's learned about fat loss, training, and finding a healthy balance in a YouTube video:
Here, she explains each one to Insider.
