Happy New Year!
As the year begins, many people set ambitious goals—especially around training and nutrition. If you’re focusing on your health and fitness this year, here’s something to consider:
Only 3% of diets are successful long-term. Of those, 80% eventually regain the weight because the method they used for weight loss was not sustainable.
I’ve coached hundreds of clients every year achieve their body composition / weight loss goals. Here are some common denominators along those who are successful:
1️⃣ The key to lasting success isn’t perfection—it’s persistence. Everyone stumbles. The difference between success and setback? How quickly you get back up. Those who wait weeks to restart often struggle to see results, while those who rebound right away continue making progress.
2️⃣ Accountability is crucial. Diet success rates jump from 3% to 20% with accountability. In general people with greater social networks are happier in life. You don’t want to take your fitness journey alone. My focus isn’t on athletic performance, pain management, or CrossFit it’s on getting people to lose fat and build muscle. Despite this knowledge the core principle of my job is accountability.
3️⃣ Defer to expertise. Social media is full of outlandish advice and supposed shortcuts, if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. Look for strategies grounded in research and experience. There is really incredible free resources available that can spend hours consuming. You can also hire someone to shorten the learning curve for you even further.
Yes, this is a bit of self-promotion—but it’s also the advice I’d give to anyone serious about making real changes this year.
