Do you struggle with consistency with your health and weight?
Consistency is a big issue with a lot of busy Dads when it comes to trying to achieve their health and weight loss goals. If they're not being consistent, they're not going to get the results they are after.?
This applies to all areas of life, but this area tends to be more difficult, as it requires some level of discipline and knowledge.?
Most want to enjoy all their food and drink and don’t want to exercise or can’t get into a routine. I’m sure you’ve been a victim of this yourself, so I want to share some advice that should help you overcome ‘inconsistentitis’.?
From my experience as a Weight Loss Coach, as well as 20 plus years in the fitness industry, what I have realised is that some people's level of intensity is preventing them from being consistent. Let me explain. When people decide to do something about their weight, they are in a state of high motivation and excitement.?
They have high hopes for the expected improvement in their life that’s about to occur.?
They go all in with a diet plan and maybe an exercise program, they follow it with much enthusiasm and stick to it, for a while, but then all of a sudden, something happens.?
They stop doing it.?
They can’t keep up with the changes required of the plan or program as it was too much at once. It was too much of a shift and did not fit in with their lifestyle. They weren't able to sustain it and keep doing it for the long-term.?
So they end up giving up and they're back to where they started and achieved nothing!
If this sounds like you, please listen up.

What I want to encourage you to do is have a different approach. If that approach did not work, it needs to change.?
What I suggest is to not enter into a plan or program with too much intensity. Don’t make too many big changes to your diet and life if you feel it’s not something you enjoy or can sustain for the long term.

You need to take small steps, one small step at a time.?
This could be an adjustment of a bad habit, such as having healthy takeaway food choices for lunch or reducing the quantity of alcohol you consume during the week. Once you've got that step sorted out, move on to the next one and then the next one and so on. That way, you're going to be able to be more consistent.?
For example, with my program, I don't tell the Dad’s to exercise, because that's an extra thing on top of their diet. I worry about getting their healthy habits optimised first and then we can worry about exercise later.?
Once we have the foundation of healthy habits established, then we can move on to exercise, because if it's too much at once, it's harder to sustain for a lot of busy Dads.
Making minor adjustments when compared to major changes will mean you won’t see rapid results, but slower, steadier and long-term results. Which do you prefer???????
