5 daily habits to drop body fat
People often fail to succeed at fat loss for a very simple reason, they take on way too much and they try to change everything at once.
People fail to realise that the world they’re bringing the new change into isn’t necessarily ready for it yet!
I see so many people that say they’ve tried absolutely everything to change the way they look. They’ve tried every diet going, every program under the sun and they’re still nowhere nearer to the change that they want. I’ve seen people that have hired trainer after trainer in search of the “magic pill” that has the answer. One thing in common with all of these people is their inability to make anything they’ve actually stick!
We all live our lives by habits, but they’re not necessarily the ones that are going to get you in the best shape of your life.
Here are some classic habits that people do every day
Get up late
Have a drink in the evening after work which ends up in a takeaway
Having someone book your appointments all day at work, that leaves you with no control over your time.
Staying up late at night watching television or on social media
Not preparing your meals and resorting to buying fast food/takeaway meals
These are not the habits that someone would follow if they wanted to be in great shape.
Here are the habits of someone who wanted to be in great shape, and what benefit would it be to you?
Getting up 45 minutes earlier - This would mean that you would have time to prepare healthy food before you start your day.
Get motivated and exercise with a family member or partner in the evening - This would keep your activity levels high and inject some fun into your evenings swaying you away from having that after-work drink or ordering a takeaway.
Take ownership of your own diary - When you take ownership of your own diary and write in times when you want to exercise or eat, you will always have time.
Set a time to go to bed by, say 10pm every night - By going to bed at the same earlier time every night you will find it so much easier to wake up and you will also have a lot more energy to train in the day.
Prepare your meals with you to avoid snacking or buying fast food - When you have food prepared for the day, you will not be hungry, and you'll also avoid unnecessary snacking or ordering fast food.
Habits have a huge effect on each other. For example, getting up earlier will make sure you prepare your food, you'll then not snack on poor choices at work and you'll have more energy to train in the evening. So, choose habits that reinforce each other.
Hitting targets is a huge part of fat loss. Every habit you successfully integrate into your life is a goal reached. This a huge motivational tool to go alongside your body fat measurements, pictures and weight record.
Top tip on how to change your habits
To avoid taking on too much at once, pick one habit at a time from the list above. Stick to it solidly for exactly 21 days. It takes 21 days to form a new habit. I use this technique time and time again with clients with great success. You’ll be amazed at how well it works. Don't introduce a new habit until the first one you set to work on is fixed firmly in place.
