Just the Tip, 10 Tips for Weight Loss Success

Send us Fan MailEpisode 25:  Just the Tip: 10 tips to get you started1.  Keep it simple, motion or planning is great, but action is the only way to get where you want to go.  (Atomic Habits) You can spend a ton of time dreaming, thinking, or planning for the body you want or whatever, but you have to get your reps in and that takes action.2.  You don’t need to go on a diet, you need to change your diet.  It’s about lifestyle, not a moment of clarity where you eat some celery.  It must be something you can keep going with and adapt to.  It doesn’t matter what that is, as long as it is something that will improve your health and help you toward your goals.3.  Make habits of daily/weekly preparation.  You will probably struggle to eat your healthy breakfast if it isn’t ready for you in the morning.4.  Make it easy, similar to simple, but back to Atomic Habits, as humans, we like the easy way out, so things like setting out your workout clothes in the bathroom or wearing them to bed might help you workout in the morning.5.  Drink your water!  So many of us are dehydrated all the time, a gallon per day is ideal, but at least 64 oz!  Get a fancy bottle to meet your needs.6.  Get in your protein, protein is not just a building block of life, but also has a high thermic effect and makes you feel satisfied and fuller longer.  1st Phorm recommends at least 1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight!  So if you want to be 180 pounds, eat 180 grams of protein per day, depending on your specific goals. CHICKEN!!7.  Meal prep, listen to episode 14 “Meal Prep De-bunked” for how we handle that, there are a ton of options.8.  Move your ASS!  Even if it’s just a walk, walking is great! It reduces risk or heart disease, improves blood pressure, improves BS, enhances mental well-being, reduces risk of osteoporosis, reduces risk of type 2 diabetes and many other things.9.  Sleep hygiene.10.  Don’t focus on the numbers, it’s about the consistency, not just the results or how fast they come.  If you keep putting in the effort, you will start to change and push yourself to new levels!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport the show
