The secret to fat loss is simple: have a specific desire that you write down with a deadline for it's completion and work on it daily.
We usually call them goals, and they are very effective if the proper action is taken toward their attainment on a consistent basis.
However, when you are tempted by an opportunity, such as eating a "trigger" food, feeding that temptation once may bring struggles for days, weeks or months to come.
Here's a little story: "Every morning in Africa a gazelle awakens and knows he has to run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion awakens and knows it must outrun the swiftest gazelle or it will starve to death. So you see, it matters not if you are a lion or a gazelle...when the sun comes up you better be ready to run."
Lose focus, even for a day, and it may cost you in terms of overall success, personal satisfaction and goal attainment.
The principles for fat loss are very simple:
- Change your eating patterns so that you eat fewer calories than you expend.
- Engage in activities that build muscle and help you expend calories.
That's really all there is to it, with a few million other things thrown in. However, consistency and effort to these two key factors will take you further than almost anything else.
God bless,
Steve
