How To Get Weight Loss Results That Actually Stick Around?

Just about anyone can get results by going from a sedentary lifestyle full of processed foods to one that is packed with exercise and whole foods. The question isn’t whether you’d get results from doing this. The question is will you be able to maintain these new behaviors, and thus results, for the rest of your life?

I’ve noticed through the years of working with clients that people have memories of certain things that worked for them. Whether that “thing” was no carbs, a particular program, or weight training 5 days per week, they remember it working for them and so think they should do it again.

But the issue here is that those things really didn’t work. If they had, you wouldn’t be where you are today still struggling to find your way.

For something to truly work it needs to get you results AND you need to be able to maintain those results for the rest of your life. For that to happen you need to focus on two very important habits.

Adherence and Consistency are the Two Most Important Habits

Set reasonable goals that you know you will adhere too at all times, this will also make the journey more fun.

Transformation is just a side effect of adherence and consistency to a plan you are fully engaged with and enjoy. So make your decisions based on sustainability.

So as you approach your lifestyle change, make sure you’re setting behavioral goals that you know you can accomplish, will enjoy, and will be consistent with for the long-term.

That adherence and engagement with the process is what’s going to give you real results - a lifetime of health and happiness, and a healthy body composition as a side effect.

It’s a constant progression that’s rooted in adherence to your plan and consistency with action. So ask yourself - is what I’m doing today going to be doable next week, month, or even year?
