When starting on a health journey, we tend to want to do things quickly. We’ve decided to diet, or exercise, and now it’s time to go! Get those gains on!
The one trend we see, though, is that when we focus our efforts on losing weight quickly, it all comes back on again eventually. 86% of The Biggest Loser contestants put their weight back on within two years. Why? Because they did not have a plan for what would happen once they were “done”.
When we slow things down, when we take out time, we create a space to build habits. We create real lifestyle changes. And that makes all the difference.
Consistency is key. Go slowly.
