My poor body image to the point I remember putting a belt around my tummy rolls in middle school under my jeans so I looked thinner. I needed to “suck it in” then maybe they’ll be nicer to me.
I remember being as young as 8 comparing my body to skinnier girls in class. I thought restriction was the only way to weight loss.
I feel your pain if my story resonates with you too.
Yes, research has concluded that a “calorie deficit” is the only way to lose fat. It is science, but we are emotional creatures & they play a huge role in our habits, which become us.
Many fitness experts & diet gurus come up with complicated diets, workout plans, & supplement stacks that require a lot of work, & frankly, are unnecessary. I know for me, if it’s not easy, I ain’t gonna do it. My time, energy, & mental real estate are too important to worry about unnecessary things.
I’m sure you’ve heard the mantras like “eat less, move more” & “no pain, no gain.” Seriously, if it sounds hard, do you think people will be more likely to stick with it?
In short, this silliness & overabundance of info out there have forced many of you to choose inaction, which isn’t helping you to move the needle forward.
Self-discipline & willpower can be weak on any given day, leading us to make bad eating decisions & eventually fail at reaching our fat loss & health goals.
Plus, we can’t deny the fact that various foods influence hunger & hormones to varying degrees — so not all calories are equal.
When I embarked on my fat loss journey, over time, I realized if I adopted a simplicity approach, I was more likely to stick with it because:
“What’s simple & attainable on a daily basis IS SUSTAINABLE.”
So I created 5 simple concept habits that require minimal effort but go a long way in making fat loss automatic — meaning you don’t have to rely on restriction, self-discipline & willpower which result in basically life sucking.
Enjoy these cheat sheets & I hope these help you on your way to SUCCESS & LOVING YOUR BODY!
