Have you ever succeeded at a diet plan? WAIT! Before you answer that, what is your definition of dieting success? That you lost X amount of weight in X days? Did it last? Longer than a year? Were you able to sustain it 5 years later?
After working with thousands of students through our programs, along with our own personal experience of rollercoaster dieting, and extensive advanced training in metabolism, we've discovered how to create real, lasting weight loss. Without deprivation or defeat! We've discovered many reasons why dieters fail at dieting and want to share the top 9 reasons with you today.
Chris Sequenzia is our special guest in this episode. He is not only my husband and ministry partner, he is our Healthy Free Life resident physical therapist, strength coach, metabolic expert and creates all of our exercise videos for our programs. I can't wait for you to meet him. He will be on many future episodes!
In this episode, you’ll learn that diets fail because dieters often...
1. Don't invite God into the journey.
2. Haven't changed relationship with food.
3. Focus more on losing weight than creating the healthy lifestyle that leads to weight loss.
“In the long-run, the people who succeed are the ones who want to live the lifestyle that precedes the results.
Stop asking, “What results do I want to have?”
Start asking, “What lifestyle do I want to live?”
It's common to want results. It's rare to want the lifestyle.”
-James Clear, Atomic Habits
4. An all-or-nothing mentality or thinking perfection is required.
5. Believing one diet fits all.
6. Thinking eat less, exercise more is the right approach.
7. Taking a calorie-only approach to weight loss or believing a calorie is a calorie.
8. Some are metabolically unhealthy and resistant to weight loss.
9. Focused too heavily on diet and exercise and ignore the other healthy habits that are even more important to the metabolism, like worship, rest, hydrating, sleeping well and moving throughout the day.
And most importantly, you'll learn what to do instead.
