It’s amazing how so many people are overweight, want to lose weight, try this that and the other thing – yet we continue to get fatter and fatter in the U.S. I’ve included 3 things that I have always emphasized for our weight loss clients and I thought you might appreciate it as well. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions:
In the world of weight there is so much hype and I know I’ve talked about it for years and how frustrating it is, yet it continues. There is always a new magic program, method, system, etc. and it really is never ending. First it’s a shake program, then it’s pills, then it goes to low carb, No it should be high protein, no low fat, now raw foods, no whole foods, wait – it must be combined right, no we have to avoid inflammation, whew – I’m exhausted just thinking about it now.

Troy Huggett's Fitness Pros weight loss thoughts
another unrealistic program for weight loss.
A few of the books that have popped up over the years – this is in no way an endorsement of any of these. As a matter of fact there is only one thing that is factual that runs through all of the diet programs out there and that is LESS calories taken in and more calories going out = weight loss.
Many years ago we were told to “STOP THE INSANITY” and that is what we should do – not that I’m recommending her approach – just the STOP THE INSANITY part. It’s ridiculous how we bounce back and forth, up and down, change plans before we’ve even given any plan a true chance. NUTS. So step one is
- Cut out the NOISE – Quit buying diet books, reading magazines about how to lose weight, and watching programs on the next best way to lose the fat! You should also unsubscribe to all the e-mails from weight loss sites and hide those facebook friends pushing this or that product. There is too much info out there and I guarantee you have everything you need to be successful on your bookshelf or saved on your computer.
There is something called information overload which leads to PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS. When you have too much info – you can’t get started. Don’t fall victim to this! Step away from the info!
2. Pick one system, method, strategy to get on and stick with.
That’s right – pick one, stick with it and don’t even think about reading/listening to/or changing plans. I recommend H.I.T., balanced diet, and water – but pick the one that works for you and quit stressing. As the Nike saying goes – JUST DO IT!
3. Set a goal and start date!
If you don’t have a goal – how will you know if you achieve it! And I can guarantee you will never achieve your goal if you don’t start!
So get started by setting your goal and determining when you will get started. I’d recommend NOW!
I hope you will heed this advice and get at it! When you do, success will be yours in no time.
