Weight loss is easy...right?
All you have to do is eat less and move more.
How much easier can it be?!?!?
Well, unfortunatley it's not quite that simple. Life gets in the way. We can't exercise as much as we would like, we eat things we know we should not, we don't get enough sleep... I could list excuses all day long.
The truth is weight loss happens when we decide we are dedicated to making it happen and we make time to do all of the right things. It's not really that hard when we commit to doing it.
I can't tell you how many clients I have had who have come to me to lose weight and see no weight loss after months of working out. Sure they get stronger and more confident, but their weight stays the same or changes very little. They are the ones who refuse to make any changes in the way they eat. They are the ones who expect to lose a ton of weight just by adding a few hours a week of exercise. The reality is, if you are eating crap and working out to balance it out you are going to have to spend a few hours a day exercising to make up for your bad dietary habits.
If you really want to lose weight you are going to have to commit to long term changes in your diet to see a real difference. Eat more fruits and vegetable (preferably in their natural raw state), lower the amount of fat you consume and eliminate or drastically cut back on junk food. See it's easy!
There is no magic bullet, so stop looking.
Eat right, get enough rest, exercise regularly and the weight will come off!
