The 75% Non-Diet Solution for Weight Loss – Anything Goes Diet Blog

When it comes to weight loss there is going to be a beginning and an end to your weight loss journey. Obviously you can just be losing weight for the rest of your life, at some point you will get to the goal weight and stop.

The reality is that even after achieving your weight loss goal you may find that you slowly creep up in weight and start to gain little bits of the weight back.

In order to stay at your goal weight I propose the 75%/25% rule…you can read more about it at the anything goes diet blog here:

Sabotage Point – Venus Index Blog

During a transformation many people hit a point where they stall or have stalled in the past. This could happen for any number of reasons including a lack of social feedback and the fear of the unknown. In all cases this is a psychological barrier.

Learning where your specific sabotage point is and what the psychological and social keys are that create it is the first and most critical step to breaking through this barrier.

Once you get through this barrier there is no stopping you from reaching your goals.

In todays podcast we talk about getting past your sabotage point.

Finding Your Motivation – Adonis Index Blog

Getting through a transformation requires daily effort and each day requires new motivation. Even if the end goal is the same the motivation to push through another day might be different.

It’s your job to find that motivation and stay on target. Incredible changes can be seen in a short time, but only if you find the motivation to stay on track.

Each day builds on the last and by the end of three months you can accomplish something you never thought possible.

Staying motivated is the linchpin to reaching your goals.

In todays podcast we interview one of our contest winners Andrew Scott and get insights into how he found his motivation to stay on track and build an impressive amount of muscle in only 12 weeks.

John – what would you recommend to personal trainers whose clients need to seriously alter their eating habits to lose fat? What do you think the psychology is from a layperson’s perspective?

I think it would require some exploration of the root cause of the overeating or lack of ability to control food intake as well as an exploration of social support and barriers to sticking to a weight loss program.

This sort of exploration is required for each person before they can determine what is at the root of their eating issues and figure out how to move forward.
