Are you in a rough spot?

You've been working hard, going to the gym, eating well, yet things just don't seem to be progressing?

Worse, maybe they've gone in the wrong direction and you're noticing that your scale is creeping up and the clothes are starting to fit tighter?

How can this be? What gives? Most importantly, what should you do about it?

The purpose of this episode is to give you a dietary check-in when everything seems to be going in the wrong direction.

Here Is What We Covered

  • Give your head a shake. Most often, and in our experience, your diet falls apart not because of a lack of information but a weak mental game. You're under more stress, you're more social and that means there is more chance you'll get off track. Whatever the reason, always start with what is happening between your ears.
  • Are you doing the right things? It's possible that sometimes you've picked a strategy that does not give you the results that you were hoping for. That's OK, it happens to everyone, but how do you know it's the wrong strategy vs. you just haven't done it long enough? We'll answer that.
  • Have you done it long enough? We all know that diet and exercise work, but it's impossible to think you'd lose 50 pounds after only changing your diet for a month. Things always take longer than we think. Here is a great way to know when you haven't done things long enough.
  • Are you guessing vs. testing? Quick...what did you eat last week on the same day? Do you remember? Of course you don't, nobody does. If you do remember, you have no idea what your portions were. The point here is to start documenting everything you eat and drink...this way there is no fooling yourself.
