Patience....Nutrition and Weight Loss

There is no such thing as a "magic diet" and "instant weight loss".  There are only "fad diets".  We don't used the word "diet" in LifeFit.  We talk instead about balanced nutrition, nutrition plans, and  lifestyle change.  The key to weight loss really is reorganizing you life using the 3 Success Rules.

1. Dedication
2. Intensity
3. Patience

However, we do have tips to share on weight loss.

1.)  Partner up with a spouse/significant other.  Couples who "diet" together are more likely to succeed.  Sharing dishes and eating nutritionally together helps the other partner stay with the plan.  Figure out a nutrition plan together, write it down in your journal, and then support each other.  See what happens after 6 months!

2.)  Afraid of the gym?  I've heard some of these "excuses" from our members.  Are you using them?
  > "I'll have to exercise in front of much younger people."
     Grab a partner.  Think of ways you're superior to them - more experienced for instance.  Go when there isn't a crown, like 6am in the morning.
  > "I'll embarrass myself."
      Take a beginner's class.  Don't sell yourself short.  Heavy folks can use the equipment just as easily as slim folks.
  >  "I'll be wasting money." 
      Track your attendance or use a fitness log, and reward yourself when you reach a goal.  Remember Success Rule #1.

You can do it!
