During your weight loss journey there are going to be times where you just either want to chuck the towel in and ask 'if it worth it?'
Or where your weight loss will plateaux and you just can't seem to fix what is happening
Both if these examples above are very similar as they can be fixed with 3 simple steps
You can implement all 3 of these right away
1. Start With The Basics
Most people when they start a weight loss program go all out
Exercise 4-5x per week
Completely change their food
Load up on herbal tea
And eventually one of 2 things happen
You either plateaux and have no where to go in terms of changes you can make
or, You burn yourself out and find the commitments you made at the start are either not right for you or do not truly fit with your schedule
Instead try this
Commit to tracking your calories so you are in a calorie deficit or write a meal plan for the week that you can realistically stick to
Commit to 2-3 workouts per week to raise your heart rate
Commit to 8k-10k steps each day
2. Plan For Minimal Effort
There are going to be days/weeks when work/family and life will just get in the way
And this can be where people use this as an excuse to stop everything
During these weeks write down what the MINIMUM you can do so that you stay on track
Can you commit to 1-3 workouts for 20-30 minutes?
Can you still maintain your food intake?
Can you still get the required amount of sleep to recover?
What is the absolute minimum you can do and stay on track?
3. Understand The Process
There are things elements you must understand to ensure that you see this out to get to your goals
It Is A Lifestyle
It Is Something You Enjoy
It Aligns With Your Beliefs
People get successful in anything because it is something they enjoy
The process, the 'doing' and the experience is something they absolutely love and the feeling it gives them is why they continue
If you are following a food plan and exercise routine that you do not enjoy or it does not match up to your beliefs you will fail
You may lose weight... but long-term it will go back on
The journey you take must be something you enjoy and that covers both Exercise and
Nutrition
Never do anything for 'quick results' and always look to the sustainability of the journey you take
