New Research On How You Can Stay Motivated

We all get spikes and dips of motivation.

If you're reading this and saying you don't....you are lying to yourself or, maybe, you're an alien.

You've probably thought to yourself, ''how do I get motivated now and avoid as many dips?''.

A very recent study may have the answer for you.

No, it's not a Whoop band, an aura ring or CGM monitor....

It's A LOT simpler than that.

This study focused on behaviour change over the period of 6 months, with a 2-month follow-up period.

There were two groups in this particular study - a daily energy restriction (calorie deficit) or an intermittent fasting group.

Contrary to popular belief, both groups experienced similar behaviour changes.

The most prominent motivators for the participants in this study were accountability and check-ins (frequent monitoring). Just knowing their behaviours were monitored, their adherence levels increased.

Both accountability and check-ins are a key part of why, when followed, my SBB program gets results that last.

The accountability makes sure you are doing what you agreed you could do, the check-ins make sure what we are doing is constantly working.

If it's not, we adapt the program and pivot.

The transition from accountability to ownership was key for maintaining the weight loss and behaviour change in this study.

The final phase of my SBB program is called fat loss for good, essentially where everything we are doing becomes second nature, and you take ownership of the process and changes.

At that stage, most of my clients do not need a coach, some choose to keep me around to automate the process and take the weight off their shoulders.

How to implement these findings?

1. Hire a coach. This is the easiest way to take advantage of accountability and check-ins. When you invest in having someone in your corner, you pay attention to the detail. There is constant feedback and you are held accountable at every level. This is the fastest road to ownership and helps you build the habits with the necessary guidance. Your progress is meticulously tracked and there is constant feedback. You'll know when you can scale back or go harder. I am a coach that has a coach, I think that tells you everything!
2. Your partner. Get your partner to act as your coach! This does not work for everyone, but if you can create two relationships and set expectations, this can work extremely well. Especially if you get your partner on board with your training and nutrition.
3. Your colleague or friend. This can work similar to the coach partner relationship. The trick here is objectivity, you have to be transparent and give some tough love when it's needed. Define what you will track and measure from the start.

If you are looking for the accountability and guidance needed to pretty much guarantee you will hit your health & fitness goals in 2024, message me the words ''CHANGE''.

Spaces are extremely limited, but we can have a chat and see if my SBB is a fit.

Have the best day ever!
