Getting Back To The Basics Of Successful Fat LossBy Dan Grant [Trainer Talk]

Not sure if you’re on the right path to fat loss success? Dan Grant helps you by going back to the basics.  A new so-called miracle pill comes out weekly. The next great ab machine infomercial hits the airwaves monthly. The next revolutionary diet book comes out every day it seems. Listen, a pill didn’t get you overweight. It was one more bite that pushed you over the weight threshold. So how about we blow right by all the hype for a minute and get back to the basics. Basics that will get you results. The Ethic We’ve All Seemed To Lose There’s a major theme associated with all the miracle pills, machines and diets out there. They tell you that there’s hardly any work involved. Claims such as “Just take the pill and watch the fat melt off your body,” or “Only 10 minutes on this revolutionary machine, three days a week and you’ll get a six pack in eight weeks,” are made all the time. This is the part of the article in which I could go on one of my tangents about how stupid all that is, but I won’t. I’d much rather try to solve this problem of lacklustre work ethic that most of us possess these days. As we’ve grown as a people and as a society, we’ve gotten lazier and lazier. Every new invention has something to do with making our life easier (and lazier). Now, if we come across something that requires a little sweat and persistence, we think it’s unfair and ask, “Why can’t this be easier?” If easy got us what we truly wanted, then money would never be a problem, and hot dogs and Doritos would be the greatest meal in the world (to me anyways). The fact is that sweating, working out when you don’t feel up to it, doing certain things you won’t necessarily like doing and eating food that might be just plain boring are all part of the process to true and lasting results. Pure Eating Processed foods = not good Natural foods = good Easy enough, right? The only reason we think we can’t live without all the cookies, fast food burgers, pop and easy made dinners is because we’ve grown up with them. They’ve always been around us, we crave them in certain situations and they become a part of our world. The better the food, the better it is for you. That’s the basics. Generally speaking, the longer the shelf life of something the worse it is for you. |
