 I wanted to highlight 5 areas where quitting can be a powerful thing to accelerate your results. Everyone knows that quitting alcohol, junk food, late nights etc will get results but sometimes that’s too much for people. Instead, I wanted to focus on 5 common behaviours that really hold people back from getting results. I hope this resonates and provides a little reframe for your approach to fat loss. I’m not a fan of tough love coaching but I resonate with that last quote and I’ve had to learn to get better at that. You can’t get upset with your lack of results if the effort is fleeting and inconsistent. Move from interested to committed and go for the goal.

If you are a busy professional who feels overwhelmed, what makes you think you'll be able to start a 5 day per week training schedule and a complicated diet to get fit and healthy? The chances are pretty slim. Your life is full of competing demands yet somehow you think you'll make the time and the energy to do a radical transformation. Here's what to do instead. 1. Carve out realistic short blocks during the week to do some exercise. It does not have to be an hour at the gym. 15-minute exercise snacks are a great place to start. 2. If you do have the time to exercise, start with 2-3 days per week. Chances are, you're tired, slightly overweight and out of shape so it's better to separate exercise days with rest days to recover between sessions. It is extremely demotivating to try to exercise when you feel like you've been run over by a truck. (stop chasing pain as a measure of workout success). 3. Look at your diet and find the low-hanging fruit areas to change. You could probably reduce some alcohol, take-away meals, high-calorie work lunches and mindless snacks. One of those changes would be enough to start seeing improvements on the scale and your energy. In time, your fitness will improve and it will become more of a priority so you'll make more time for exercise. You will also feel more in control of your nutrition when you can manage one change at a time. This is how I'd approach it but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is there anything I've missed?

Some of my clients have struggled with my message of "Unconditional permission to eat". I have never restricted a food or beverage from any client over 20 years of coaching. People have messed up relationships with food that lead to all sorts of crazy diets and failed attempts at weight loss or healthier eating. Labelling foods or patterns or eating as good or bad has clearly been shown to cause poor relationships with food. Why would I want to do that to clients? You can figure out the number of calories you need to eat to lose weight and happily include some chocolate, wine, crisps or, [insert favourite food here] and still get fantastic results. Why are so many people missing this point? Probably because of pseudo-science quackery and overly holistic (well -meaning) online influencers who have probably struggled with food their whole lives. You can and will get great results without absolute restriction of any food or drink you enjoy. When you realise this, you may approach this whole dieting thing with a more flexible mindset and get better results.

If habit change happened in one easy attempt, we’d all be ripped with amazing mindsets. But change doesn’t work that way. Change works by going great for a little while - then life kicks in and you forget your new habits and return to your old eating habits. Then you pick yourself back up and eat healthy for a longer time period. It might feel like you’re starting from scratch but you’re just building more familiarity with your new habit making it easier each time you do it - but only as long as you learn from slip ups and don’t treat them as a catastrophe. 2️⃣ Scheduling. It's not the individual impact of a hiccup that holds you back from achieving your weight loss goals. It’s the cumulative impact of not getting back on track and doing it quickly. If you can’t perform your habit as planned, do the minimum you can to stay on schedule. 3️⃣ Consistency. Do what you can as often as you can and just stick with the healthy eating plan. 4️⃣ Self-efficacy. Having self-belief in your ability to achieve your goal gives you more freedom to make mistakes and allows you to cope with setbacks by seeing them for what they are - temporary hurdles. 5️⃣ Self-compassion. When you have a diet hiccup, try to give yourself the advice you’d give a good friend in the same situation. Self-compassion is about recognising in ourselves that we are human and naturally imperfect. One biscuit 🍪 needn’t be a self-indulgence but a form or self care, but eating the whole packet stops you from reaching your goals. Practise self-compassion rather than self-criticism when possible. Save this post and come back to it when you feel like you’ve BLOWN your diet. Here Are Four Ways I Can Help You Get Fit And Lose Weight And Actually Keep it Off. 1.

In 2013 a study was published that called for an end of the pursuit of the ideal diet for weight loss and disease prevention. The author notes that numerous high quality studies comparing the different macronutrient make up of many diets I.e. (low carb, low fat, Mediterranean) have demonstrated differences in weight loss and metabolic risk factors that are small and inconsistent. The only consistent finding among all the trials is that adherence - the degree to which the participants continued in the program or met program goals for diet and exercise - was most strongly associated with weight loss and improvements in diet related outcomes. 🛑 searching and arguing over the best diet for weight loss. There isn’t one. There’s no single, absolutely, positively, without a doubt best diet for every person to follow for weight loss. To suggest that because a diet worked for you, at one point in your life, under a specific set of circumstances, and now everyone should follow the same diet is just ridiculous. You are amazingly adaptable to a host of different nutrition conditions. Find a method that you can enjoy. Try to endure short periods of strict and leaner approaches mixed with maintenance periods and you’ll get amazing results for weight loss if that’s your goal.

There is no excuse for eating and training in a fashion that makes you dread each meal or workout. Those times are long gone. There’s no need for restrictive food principles or endless boring workouts. We know from research that many dietary methods work. There is NO SUPERIOR diet for weight loss or health. There’s NO BEST form of exercise for health or weight loss. You get to chose. That should be empowering. I never train or eat in a way that I don’t enjoy. Adherence is the number one factor for dieting and exercise. Why are you sticking with methods that you do not enjoy? Design a plan that you like. That makes you want to exercise for the sheer joy of it. That makes you look forward to each meal. When you realise this, you’ll be less stressed, more motivated, more likely to get results and less likely to follow fads and fear mongering influencers.
