Our metabolisms have slowed, we’re eating things we know we want to cut back on; but yet we choose not to….why? Because our brains are protecting us from the pain of commitment. The excuses it delivers. ( No time, I don’t look that bad, I’ll just cut back on my eating, I can’t afford it, etc.)
Motivation….Where do you Get it? Another human being could be a big help. The” Buddy System” increases your chances of losing weight combined with a Wholistic Fitness & Coaching Approach.
The “Buddy System” holds you accountable to another person. It’s key. And it’s Behavioral Science…mostly.
Diet
Instead of “ I have to cut way down on pasta & bread.” It’s more like, “I choose to eat more veggies I like and try new things (foods) in place of old things. I like it. It’s working for me.” “I also just cut down on my portions. “ It’s just changing things a little at a time in the beginning and working from there.
Physical Training (Exercise)
You don’t have to belong to a gym as part of your physical training program. You only need a few pieces of equipment that take little space at home. But most importantly you will be accountable and choose to train (exercise) earnestly and with purpose. Ie. Weight Reduction
“I used to play football, soccer & baseball back in the day. I’ll never look like that again”
(That’s true, all too true. It’s your metabolism.)
“I should get my butt to the gym.”
(Find another (buddy) to train with and hire an “Over Fifty “Strength & Conditioning Coach like me.)
So, why not?
