Saying, “how to not fail on a diet” sounds pretty patronising doesn’t it?
But from a recent survey I did of my social media following, 84% of my followers have failed on a diet more than 5 times
… so I think that gives us enough reason to discuss it
When it comes to thinking about how to not fail on a diet, there are 3 key aspects to think about
And if you’re missing even 1, it increases your chances of failure significantly
Here are the 3 tips, with a little explanation:
- Understanding: For example, I don’t just give my clients a calorie target and say, “here you go – now just get on with it”
I teach them why that’s their target, so the client understands the science and reasoning behind the targets
2. Enjoyment: If you can’t see yourself eating this way in 5 years time from now, what’s the point
If you lose weight by not eating carbs that means you can never eat a potato or some pasta again… if you want to keep the weight off
– that’s 9 times out of 10 unsustainable, and very boring
3. Flexibility: You need to keep living a normal life whilst losing weight
Saying no every time your friends ask you out for dinner gets tiresome for all parties after a while.
The more you can enjoy the process, the more likely you are to stay on track and consistent – that means socialising whilst losing weight
Just like this blog talks about, when people make losing weight really hard
As I always seem to say in my blogs, none of this advice is earth shattering, but I can bet my bottom dollar you haven’t enforced all 3 at the same time before?
Unsexy right? But that’s where success lies, I’m afraid!
