Here is a little something that can make a world of difference in your goal to achieve permanent fat loss results. There are no magic pills you can take, and sadly no cutting corners. If you really want to be leaner for the rest of your life, forget the fad diets or the “hardcore” insane workouts that leave you feeling depleted. Those things will serve to drain your willpower and over the long haul wear you down. Instead use these 10 keys as a checklist for moving towards a sustainable way to look and feel your best for the rest of your life.
1. Find workouts that are both fun and have the ability to progress and challenge you.
2. Eat healthy whole foods 80-90% of the time, be guilt free when eating not so healthy the rest of the time.
3. Eat until satisfied not stuffed.
4. Practice changing 1 habit at a time.
5. Be OK when you falter (it will happen you’re human!)
6. Be OK with initial awkwardness (making changes won’t feel “natural” to you at first)
7. Get plenty of quality sleep
8. Keep negative stress as low as possible
9. Stop talking about yourself as though you are fat, instead talk about how much stronger and more fit you are.
10. Forget comparing yourself, your workouts or your eating to anyone else, just be you.
BONUS KEY: Don’t do it alone! The best chance at success is to have someone you can stay accountable to. Forgive my bias but having someone that can help you with a strategy and doesn’t judge you when you falter and keeps you progressing in a positive way will go very far in your chances of permanent results.
I hope you apply these keys to fat loss success today and make that change you are are looking for a life long thing.
