Here we are 2021 *fingers crossed*! So what do you expect this year?

1. Expectations

Expectations are everything. On the 1st of January we shoot for the stars and predict blue skies, lottery wins and quiet kids (listed in order of likelihood).

Typically, I set HUGE goals at the begging of the year (like becoming a unicorn). Everyone does. Gyms max out their membership in January and are empty by February, but here’s the catch; Big goals mean nothing if you’re not moving toward them.

Let me harp on about this point: Progress is key. It’s not about going big or going home, grinding hard or maxing out your energy tank. It’s all about P R O G R E S S !!!

Let’s get analytical; It’s likely you have some big goals now, right? They lure you in, right? They feel great, right? But somewhere deep down you know you’ve failed already, right? Uhu?

Maybe not. Maybe you’re nailing it but most of us aren’t. That’s why defining small...

I don’t get things right. I barely know how to make a podcast, but I’m doing it and thousands of victims tune in regardless. Your weight loss journey is similar. You may not have the perfect strategy but you just gotta start if you want to see results. Here are two keys that help:

1. Drop perfectionism

You’re probably not gonna get everything right the first time, kind of like sex (am I right?), but you just throw yourself in there and figure it out. Maybe your portion sizes are too small… Ummm… drop the sex analogy now… Maybe your first eating plan is too starch heavy. What if you fail?

I tried to find the perfect plan many times but kept tripping up. Yet after every trip, I learnt.

You need to get into a calorie deficit.

Once you start to cut down your calorie density you can figure out the details. You're going to see a lot of people...

Have you gained weight recently after losing all the weight? Or even worse, you gain more than the weight you lost in the first place?

Do you want to finally get to your goal weight and stay there without gaining it back?

Check out these three KEY things you need to know if you want to maintain your hard-earned weight loss.

#1: Do Not Get Cocky! 

Let’s see it like this. Someone is finally at their ideal weight. They are so excited that they got there. So, what do most people do at this time? They stop doing whatever they did to lose it! They get a bit lax and the cookies start sneaking back in... a little here and there isn't a big deal at first...but by the time you realise it is the damage is done!!
Obviously, without maintaining the habits, all the weight lost will come back sooner than later. 

Even with small progress it's easy to ease off. So, you start to eat some late-night snacks or start to eat out with your family or friends. Slowly, you...
