Have you tried changing some of your old habits for a better lifestyle only to find yourself right back where you started in a very short time? You’re not alone, most of us are willing to start, most of us all well intended.. somehow life happens and it just all falls off… Somehow, we get right back into the old comfortable box of just doing what we have always done, because on some level, it works…
Here’s the secret to becoming healthy in a very short time! It’s not about making the decision, we do that every other week! It’s not about getting into a program, we’ve done that.. it’s not even about throwing everything out in the fridge!!!
After you got over the stop and go factor and found your inner B.I.T.C.H (bitch in total control of herself) it’s easy to start and see awesome results with your workouts. I started working out for good in April and it was only once a week because my schedule wasn’t allowing me to work out more than that. With school and living far from Maryse it wasn’t always the easiest thing to do but I stuck to it because excuses could not cut it anymore. I was tired of looking the way I was and it was going to change! But I wasn’t seeing the changes I wanted to see… You workout, your almost dying from lactic acid the next day and nothing changes. So I started wondering why it wasn’t working. That’s when Maryse explained to me that without good nutrition there is no good workout. You can work out all you want but if you don’t watch what you eat you will not see the changes you want. Of course you will lose weight but not as much as you could if you were eating right. And then I see all of you thinking “here we go again another diet”. WRONG!!
Why do diet centers work while you’re with them and then fail when you leave them?
Diet centers work with portion control and calorie count.That’s it!They put us on their program, get you to buy their products and there you go! You’re all set!No thinking, no counting, no personal responsibility or knowledge on how to get it done in your life. There is truth to those tactics, the proof is their models in the testimonials. You can’t deny it when we see that she has lost 40 pounds in just 8 weeks with the pictures to prove it!
The most difficult element of what I do is convincing my clients to STOP DIETING! Diets imply short term pain.Beware, short term pain means short term gains! What we need to do is make lifestyle changes.Sure it will mean involve new life habits such as regular body play time… uh, by that I mean exercise people!!! Exercise is a relative term, anytime you exert it is considered exercise, so learn to play instead! It will also involve adopting a new outlook on your nutrition. It doesn’t ever mean bland foods, complete restrictions and calorie counting. It means understanding and accepting a different philosophy.
1)You have to fuel to burn! Eat people!
2)Understanding and accepting the roles different foods play on our metabolism (the good, the bad and the ugly!)
3)Being creative within that lifestyle
Ask yourself:I am dieting or am I changing my lifestyle?
