Ep. 167 - Am I Ready to Diet?

You may want to diet, but when was the last time you asked yourself if you were ready? Ready from the inside out, mentally, emotionally, and physically, to welcome the stress of a diet and to follow through on your commitment to ensuring you set yourself up to achieve significant, lasting results? Lost in the excitement of feeling and looking better after a diet, it's easy to forget that dieting is a major physiological, psychological, and emotional stressor. If you're not appropriately prepared to begin a diet, you run the risk of not only coming up short of your weight loss goal, but of putting yourself in a position in which you're primed for weight regain. No bueno! In today's episode, Paul walks you through nine critical questions that you need to have a clear answer to in order to ensure you are in fact ready to navigate a successful diet that yields sustainable results.  As you listen to today's episode, he encourages you to write down each question or prompt he shares so that you can reflect in greater detail after you finish listening to the episode.  If you're able to answer each question confidently, you'll guarantee a successful diet that provides lasting results. Episode Highlights There's immense value in gaining clarity on why you want to diet. Gaining clarity in what a successful diet looks like before you begin will help to solidify expectations and also appropriately align action steps to achieve success. If inconsistency in your nutrition plan is present before you begin dieting, it will only be magnified when you begin dieting. Fix those holes before dieting to guarantee significant and sustainable results. Less is more. Instead of focusing on adding multiple new habits to your plate to set you up for a successful diet, instead, consider focusing on improving the current habits you have in place.    Episode Resources Read our "Maintain Your Weight Loss After A Diet" Blueprint Apply to Join The 5% Community Learn the Fundamentals of Sustainable Weight Loss Connect with us on Instagram Connect with Paul on Instagram Connect with Micheala on Instagram
