There are great transformation stories all around you. It could be a celebrity (like Adele)…or it could be your neighbor or co-worker. There are successes all around you. Do you know what they have in common? They all used age-defying methods to lose weight—and keep it off. Weight loss doesn’t have anything to do with fad diets…intense exercise programs…or depraved caloric restrictions. It’s about being smart about your weight loss. Here are some tips for losing weight and improving your health. These tips aren’t revolutionary…but if you follow them, they will do EXACTLY what you want them to do. To lose weight and build your “ideal body.” Apply these tips each day (or week) and I can bet you will see some big changes in your body. Here are 3 tips to get you started: 1. Develop Good Habits Before you can start losing weight, or even an exercise program, you need a plan—or a road-map to your ideal body. You need a starting point (where you are now) and an endpoint (where you want to be). Once you have your plan in place, it’s time to plan out the steps to get you there. This is something that we often talk about during our initial meetings, and is, by far, the most important step to reaching your goals. 2. Keeping A Journal Now that you have your plan, and the steps to get there, it’s important to have a journal handy to keep track of your success or failures. Keeping a daily journal allows you to evaluate, and see where you can improve to maximize your results. For example, you’re starting to plateau, but don’t know why. You can look back to see where you may not have made the best choices—or you overdid it one day. 3. Follow the 80/20 Rule The 80/20 rule is one of the easiest rules to implement. If you’re eating and exercise (according to your plan) 80% of the time, you’re going to be successful. It’s an unreasonable demand for anyone to follow everything perfectly for the rest of your life. These are a few tips you can use to get started on your fitness and weight loss journey. Keep pushing–and implement these tips–and you will be successful Until next time… – Be Healthy – Be Strong – Be IMpowered Coach Greg P.S.
