Focus On What You Can Control

We've worked with hundreds of people in an effort to improve their health and lose weight.  I think most people strive to be healthy and live life at a reasonable weight.  I will say though a lot of people put an emphasis on weight.  They think that is the driving force to better health.  

When I lost most of my weight I was doing a program called The Ultimate Reset.  This program is a 21 day whole food cleanse/reset.  The great thing about this and getting started was it laid everything out for me.  I didn't have to think.  The process was laid out in black and white.  Eat this, take these supplements and you'll see results.  I wasn't thinking about whether or not I was losing weight, I just knew what my next meal or snack was  supposed to be.  For more on my journey check out this post, Change Your Mind, Change Your Body.  


We have made the comments before that it is more about progress and not perfection.  I would take that one step further back and say that it is more about committing to the process first.  You control the process!  You don't necessarily control the progress.   I think that is why I saw results with the program I did.  I committed to actions and those actions led to weight loss  and health.  

If you you are looking to lose weight and get healthy, what process are you going to commit too?  Some things that I believe are vital both losing weight and getting healthy would be:
  • Consuming a minimum of 5 servings of non-starchy veggies per day
  • Drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water
  • Getting a minimum of 6 hours of quality sleep per night, preferably 7-8.  
  • Doing some sort of activity that causes you to fatigue muscles and lose your breath 4 times per week for at least 20 minutes.  Basically do some intense exercise!  
If you are a beginner and you want to know how to lose weight, do those things!  Once you've mastered those things, then you we can talk fancier things like calorie counting, marconutrient ratios, carb-cycling, fasting, etc.  I think so many people think they need to do something fancy to see results.  The things you need to do are easy!  Because they are easy to do, they are also easy not to do!   That's where you committing to the process makes all the difference.  

We've put together a simple tracker that you can use to track your progress with these simple steps.  Just click the button below and follow the directions.
