What's wrong with your training?, Pt. 2

So you want to slim down, but you just can't seem to make it happen.

Are you lifting enough weight and training with enough intensity?

Yes? O.K., then. What's next?

Are you placing emphasis on your efforts and practicing consistency? Yes?

In all your dealings?

My guess is that you're exercising regularly and hard, but you ain't seeing results...your diet sucks!

How do I know this? Well, besides my 28 years of experience in the field with hundreds of people, not much.

You see, it really ain't rocket science. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say:

No amount of hard work will overcome crappy eating habits!

It's just that simple. If you're not seeing the fat loss results you want, always look to your eating habits first.

Most good trainers know that overweight people always think the reason they aren't losing fat is due to the exercise they're doing, or not doing, at the time.

Conversely, about 50% of the skinny folks who are trying to add weight believe the reason they aren't succeeding is because of exercises they aren't incorporating as well. The other's believe it's due to some facet of their diet (or supplements) being weak, when in fact they usually have a weak lifting plan.

The bottom line: If you're serious about losing fat, be honest with yourself and get rid of the crap in your diet. Magic happens when you do that.

God bless,
