I really hate titles such as “the weight loss secret”. So it could be said that I’m being a little hypocritical by entitling this post exactly that. But in doing so, I am trying to make a point. In my years as a professional in this industry, I am still yet to find any “secret” to weight loss.
Have a think about it. If a weight loss secret really existed, then, considering how many millions of people worldwide wanted to lose weight, it wouldn’t remain a secret for very long!
So what really is the “key” to weight loss? (Yes, key and secret may be interchangable…but I’m just further emphasising my previous point). Well there are many facets that you need to consider such as education, motivation, inspiration, accountability, planning, mindset, application etc. But the number one aspect to weight loss that is of the upmost importance is:
CONSISTENCY
Well duh you may say. But think about it. Consistency sounds so simple in theory – find something that works then be consistent with it (of course, you would have to make modifications as your body conditioned itself too). But how realistic is it to stay consistent? Have you ever found an approach that worked and then applied it diligently over a period of time? Or, have you tried something, stuck with it for a few weeks and then given up?
Just look at all of the successful athletes, physique competitors and even “gym junkies”. What do they all have in common? They are all CONSISTENT, which yields great long-term results.
If you’re interested in reading up on this topic, I highly recommend reading an article I published entittled “How to Lose Weight“. It’s commonsensical, straight forward and easy to understand. But hopefully it bring some clarity to the subject of weight loss and it’s application in the real world.
So in summary, there is no weight loss secret (a little more emphasis just to finish).
