Why Calories In < Calories Out
Isn't Working for You
If you've tried the conventional "burn more calories than you eat" and haven't seen results, you already know that weight loss is much more complex than this simple formula indicates. Factors like sleep quality, stress management, consuming nutrient-dense foods, and detoxification are major factors in lasting, sustainable weight management. However, knowing how to leverage your unique physiology to address these elements is a complex puzzle that can be difficult to tackle alone.
It's NOT a Lack of Willpower
When it comes to losing weight, it's too easy to start blaming yourself for past failures by feeling that the only variable in the Calories In < Calories Out = Weight Loss formula is your own resolve to keep to the equation. Yet, if you look at the other areas of your life, it's easy to see that you do have the stamina, drive, willpower, and intelligence to accomplish difficult things.
As you firm up your goals for the new year, take a moment to think back on the meaningful personal goals you've attained in the past. Whether the dream was remodeling your kitchen, improving the landscape in your yard, or moving closer to family, these types of complex projects take more than just a "resolution" to accomplish. The planning, resources, and support from professionals you utilize to accomplish such goals are key to a successful outcome.
Support to Succeed
Imagine that, at the beginning of your career, you somehow knew every roadblock you'd encounter and every trial you'd face... but, here's the kicker... you weren't allowed to know the solutions to these problems, or even if you'd overcome them? How would this affect your drive to move forward?
When you look at changing your health, weight, and lifestyle habits, the process can seem impossible because you do know all the roadblocks - you've faced them before - but you still don't have the solutions. In our professional lives we rely on a network of support and the input of specialists, yet when it comes to more personal issues, we often feel like we should just be able to solve complex health issues with a little information from Google and a lot of willpower.
It's like staring down a ranging river filled with rapids and feeling like a failure if you can't work up the resolve to just jump in the boat and head down the river alone.
So, back up...
Who is guiding you through?
Would you consider navigating an unfamiliar whitewater section of river alone? Even for an experienced whitewater aficionado, this isn't a great idea.
Those who want to get downstream successfully employ a guide who has traveled the same gauntlet many times before with success.
Not once. Not twice. Not in "ideal conditions".
You want to be in the boat with the river guide that knows how to navigate the rapids at any water level, in any condition, through snow, with a leaky raft.
The guide that knows how to pull you out of the water in the middle of a rapid with your foot wedged beneath a rock. You want to be with the expert.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier just getting into the raft knowing that your guide will be there every step of the way?
Just as you put your fire and drive into work projects to meet deadlines and accomplish goals, you do have the willpower to overcome roadblocks and change the trajectory of your health.
As much as vision statements and 5-year plans matter for helping you achieve your personal and professional goals, they don't give you the path. They don't get you through when roadblocks arise. If they did, everyone with a vision statement would be a successful business leader. What really gets you through from vision to fruition is putting together the right team with the right skills to overcome problems along the way.
You don't need to see the way through. But can you see the end?
Can you see a you that is full of life, bursting with energy, confident in the way you look, and comfortable with the way you feel? If you can, then we can provide the way to overcome the roadblocks. We'll take them one at a time, together.
For the past four years, I just kept gaining. It really took a toll on me mentally and emotionally, because here I am, you know, putting forth so much effort to keep my weight down and stay healthy. I tried so many things like Weight Watchers, gym memberships, and Noom...but nothing, NOTHING worked, and I was so frustrated.
After 5 weeks and losing 18 pounds, the best part of this program is the way I feel about myself. I have learned so much about nutrition, diet, and weight loss, but I've also learned that it's so much more than that. It has been very emotional for me, but in such a positive way.
I've started to feel happier.
