Did I catch your attention?

Results like this aren鈥檛 realistic or maintainable. Yet, we see titles or headlines, or crazy testimonials and think it鈥檚 possible and try the crazy gimmick, quick fix, or deprivation diet that claims you can do it too. Or worse yet, we see someone else鈥檚 quick success and judge ourselves as failures because we can鈥檛 seem to get the same results.

Friends, these things simply aren鈥檛 realistic - regardless of what you see and read. Short-term quick fixes typically don鈥檛 lead to lasting success; yet we are quick to try them anyway, only to beat ourselves up further if we don鈥檛 have the same success, all while wreaking havoc on the metabolism.

The only way to true and lasting success is by altering your daily habits and replacing them with healthier habits that you can sustain most days, over a long period of time or the rest of your life (hence the term 鈥渓ifestyle鈥).

This leaves three options: doing nothing (because you don鈥檛 want to fail yet again - which is completely understandable!); fall for the gimmicks with quick results; or, make small changes over time to change your lifestyle, and ultimately your life.

Small daily changes don鈥檛 have to be hard. Studies have shown that you are more likely to stick with doing one push-up a day, day after day, than you are to do 10 push-ups a day, and you鈥檒l yield better results because of it, too.

Start with something small, like changing what you eat for breakfast and incorporating a healthy balance of proteins, carbs and fats. Or, drinking one more glass of water in a day, or going to bed 15 minutes earlier. It鈥檚 the boring, unsexy habits that lead to lasting, long-term success.

Next time you see a quick fix solution, remember that it鈥檚 not the crazy discipline and willpower you can have for three days that will help you see results, it鈥檚 the little, seemingly insignificant things that will have a long-term effect on your energy, motivation, confidence and your body.

We鈥檝e changed the focus on all of our programs from 鈥渞apid weight loss鈥 to teaching the habits that you need to make lasting changes and helping with support and accountability to ensure you get (and keep) them.
