Personal trainers try and simplify how to lose weight by telling you that all you need to do is track your calories, and in some cases your protein too
And while that is true (weight loss is as simple as calories in and calories out) there is so much more to losing weight than simply following this method
And this is one of the reasons at Gym Reb3l why we do not get our clients to track calories and scan and weigh their foods
Here are 3 simple steps to help you to lose weight and understand what it really takes to lose weight and keep it off
Step 1: Understand Your Goal
People want to lose weight because of how it makes the feel
If we didn't feel overweight, uncomfortable in our clothes and/or low levels of fitness
Then we wouldn't want to lose weight
And this is the case whether you want to lose 5lbs or 50+lbs
We lose weight because of how we feel
But all of this comes down to one thing
We all want to lose weight because nothing beats how feeling healthy FEELS
Imagine being able to walk, run or do any activity knowing you can cope Cardiovascular HEALTH)
Imagine being able to pick anything out of the wardrobe and just throw it on without having to find different angles to see how you look (Positive Mental HEALTH)
Let me share with you a secret that if you follow it will make weight loss easy
If You Focus On Health... Weight Loss Is Easy
Step 2: Understanding How To Lose Weight
As mentioned before, from the outset losing weight is simply about eating less calories than you need
But like I also said, there is so much more to it than that
Very few people will be able to change their eating and exercise habits and lose weight easily
For most it is a journey of set backs, mistakes, days/weeks off but eventually getting to your goal
That is the reality of losing weight for most people
So understanding how to lose weight is important
understand that you will make mistakes, that you will skip days, that you will miss workouts, that you will have days where you don't feel like it
This is all part of the process of losing weight and the quicker you understand that through the process, the new habits you are trying to install are going to take time then the better it will be for you
Never let one mistake or one bad meal dictate the rest of the outcome and just accept it and make sure the next is the best
Step 3: Why You Need To Focus on Habits
We gain weight because of habits.... which means we also lose weight because of habits
Your goal when trying to lose weight is to identify the habits needed to get to the body shape that you want
And then make changes to your current habits
What people don't tell you about this though is that our bad habits are still there
As mentioned above you will have days where you might binge or times when you might slip back in to the habit of having extra alcohol through the week
You need to identify the habits that you currently have and which ones are stopping you from getting the results that you want
Once you have done this then you can start to work on new habits and build these in to your lifestyle
