The number one reason most fail to succeed with diet and exercise is due to a lack of CONSISTENT motivation.
Sure, most of us will get overwhelming motivation in the beginning (especially with a New Years resolution). But... in a very short time after getting started, most of us will fall right off the wagon! I know I did this... SEVERAL TIMES before!
The good news is that there is something you can do that will help you with getting and STAYING motivated so that you can finally reach your goals. Take a few minutes out of your day and read on to learn more...
First Things First...
No amount of motivation is going to do you any good if you are not doing something that is sure to produce RESULTS.
Going on ineffective (and even dangerous) diet and/or exercise plans will not produce the results you want... and this will therefore cause you to lose motivation. After all, the biggest source of motivation is seeing and feeling RESULTS. If youre doing something that is sure to not produce results, then you can clearly see how this can become a problem!
What To Do To Get Constant Motivation...
You see, when starting a diet and exercise plan, most will have the mindset of trying to get everything right... and this is by no fault of their own! Most people feel the need to over-analyze their plan for getting in shape... simply because there is just so much stuff out there right now! You got all types of diets, pills, supplements, exercise plans, fitness equipment, and more!
What this ends up causing is information paralysis... which will do nothing but make you seriously frustrated... and this means youll start losing focus and motivation!
In order to get and stay motivated, what I recommend you do is to stop worrying about so many different details of dieting and exercising... and just focus on doing the basics until youve reached your goals. Once you reach your goals, then you can worry about which types of special foods to eat, what type of fitness routine is best for XYZ, etc.
The Basics...
The basics of diet and exercise that will work for ANYONE is very simple. Its so simple that youll swear up and down that it cant work, and youll feel this choice again because of the OVERWHELMING variety of different things out there nowadays!
What I recommend for you to do (which is as basic as it can get)...
1. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water.
2. NEVER skip breakfast and make sure that it is a nutrient dense meal (such as steel cut oats with some blueberries).
3. Eat 3-400 calorie meals 4-6 times a day instead of the usual 2 or 3 meals.
4. Switch around your calorie pattern so that you can skyrocket your metabolism (there are diets out that will help with this).
5. Build lean muscle at least 3 times a week and do interval cardio on the days you arent building lean muscle (and dont worry, you dont have to get HUGE muscles).
Those basics above will get you an amazing body... quickly... and it is VERY simple to stick to. Then, once you have achieved your goals, then you can focus on "special" dieting and fitness practices. This choice, youll find it much easier to stay motivated and consistent with improving your health and body... without the usual frustrations!
