The Simple Steps On How To Stay Consistent On A Diet
Consistency is key to any result you want to achieve
The steps we take every single day determine our outcome and so when it comes to losing weight and keep the weight off, it is important that we stay consistent and learn the habits needed to get the results we want
In order to understand how you can stay consistent, you have to first understand what type of 'dieter' or 'exerciser' you are when it comes to your plan
Type 1:
This is your most common and one that will unfortunately be yo-yo dieting for years... until they change their way of thinking
A typical week goes like this;
Monday - Amazing
Tuesday - Amazing
Wednesday - A couple of things off track (treat, drinks, skipping exercise)
Thursday - Finished... breakfast usually ok but the rest is no where near what they want
Friday - Start again Monday
Saturday - "Who cares... blow out - I am starting Monday"
Sunday - "No way... this is it... I am starting Monday"
And unfortunately they usually repeat
That is type 1
Type 2:
These are slightly different
For 4-5 weeks they are amazing
They do everything they set out to do and then for some reason they get complacent
The scales have dropped and they are really starting to feel good about themselves
And because of this
They sneak in things where it was not planned
A mid week drink...
A few extra treats that were not accounted for
A skipped workout
And before you know it
The next 2-3 weeks is a huge undoing of the hard work they put in to the previous 4-5 weeks
And then we have the final one
Type 3:
Type 3 tends to be the inspiration for a lot of people
But they also tend to be the person who receives the most 'well its easy for you' comments
These are the people who just 'get it'
They decide that Monday is the day
And away they go
New habits
New gym routine
New lifestyle
Long lasting changes
The ones we love to hate
But the ones who get the results and keep it off
How You Can Be Like Type 3
As someone who has coaches 1000's of women both on offline over the past 20 years
What we never really see about 'Type 3' is that they too have struggles
But what type 3 does which type 1 and 2 do not
Is type 3 makes contingency plans and also recognises the triggers
So, for that split second of satisfaction they learn to ignore it and do something that they
KNOW will make them feel good
An examples is; Instead of reaching for a 'small glass of wine' they will reach for water too
Yes they might crave the wine
But once they have drank the water and got in to bed, the craving will not be there
And in one step they are working on creating their habits of not drinking through the week
You have to put temporary 'satisfaction' aside and look at the bigger picture
The Power of Consistency
Let's say you want to save £30
If, everyday for 30-days you put £1 away you would have £30 :)
But... if you skipped 12 days you would only have £18
Meaning it would take you slightly longer
But let us say that in the following month you only saved 10 days
That would mean you would have an extra £10 to go with your £18 (£28 in total - I am a wizz at maths...)
And for the following month you managed to save the £2 in the first 2 days
That initial goal of saving £30 took you 3 months instead of £1
BUT...
And this is the huge part
You didn't give up
You messed up
You skipped days of saving
But eventually you got to your goal
Losing weight and staying consistent is exactly the same
It is not always as easy as 'just losing weight'
The things you have to do each day (like save £1) is part of the journey
And when you get in to the habit of doing that
The whole process becomes easier
Consistency Means To Never Give Up
Part of the journey of creating habits (consistency) is to never give up
No matter what mistakes you make
Just make sure the next meal/drink is the right choice for your results
Identifying the habits you currently have that are stopping you from getting the body and weight loss results you want is step 1
Simply list what you are currently doing that you know isn't helping
If this is something you enjoy (like a drink)
Then look at ways you can add this in to your week to your benefit and not something that
stops you getting the results you want
