In today’s episode we talk about why fat loss is currently so hard and how to make fat loss easy. yes, it can be easy. It can even be effortless. And the “how” is not complicated or hard. This is as close to a magic bullet as you will ever get. It is fool proof.

The Bottom Line:
When it comes to making good food choice that are aligned with our goals, we keep skipping practice. We come to a situation where we could make a choice to move towards our goals or away from them. We let ourselves off the hook. We make an excuse. We skip practice. We rob ourselves on an opportunity to make it easier.
“If we really want change we have to make peace with the fact that we cannot self-exempt every time the calendar offers us a more attractive alternative” ~ Marshall Goldsmith
Playing a piece by bach on the piano is not only hard without practice but very likely impossible. So if you feel like you keep failing, ask yourself how much time you’re putting in to practice? How consistently do you practice?
This constant CHOICE to keep skipping practice is known as self-indulgent inconsistency. It’s why it is hard. Because we grab every opportunity to be self-indulgently inconsistent.

Hi Elizabeth, great podcast. I totally agree with what you say.
I think one of the biggest problems in our fast paced society is that we’ve become accustomed to fast and easy results without having to put in much effort. We tend to forget that goals that are really worth reaching require effort and persistence. I used to spend a lot of time looking for quick fix, magic bullet methods to help me achieve my fitness goals. If I’d spent that time just doing my workouts and sticking to my diet, I would have had results much faster.
Great point! We want the results but we don’t put in the work required to get them. It doesn’t take perfection but it does require consistency. Thanks for weighing in!
I so needed to hear this one today! Thank you!!!
You’re so welcome, Tracey 🙂
OMG! This episode is life changing! I’m going to listen to it again and again and again. I’m showing up for practice. I struggle with “missing out” on the wine, the bread basket and the pasta. But what I’m missing out on is becoming the best version of myself.
Yes! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!
