Fat Loss: What people want to hear VS The reality

In a world where amazon can deliver a packet of biscuits to your door in a matter of hours, people want things now, they don’t want to have to wait.

This transcends to fat loss with people wanting instant results with minimum effort. If you start training with that mind set though, you’ll be quickly disappointed. Fat loss takes both time and effort and the quicker you want to lose it the more effort it takes.

The sad situation is, that certain fitness companies make a lot of money from preying on this mindset. Juice cleanses, fat loss pills and fucking body wraps are advertised and endorsed by a host of social media stars with ripped bodies that have likely never touched the things. A small endorsement from a company, and all their progress is suddenly attributed to the latest Teatox.

These instant remedies either don’t work, or are not remotely sustainable, resulting in yo-yo dieting or getting further away from yours goals all the while becoming disillusioned and frustrated at the lack of progress.  

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. Put simply, it’s about sustainably reducing your calorie intake and increasing the number of calories you burn ideally through weight training. Consistency and patience is key, because there’ll be times when progress stalls and life gets in the way. Embrace the journey, and keep striving to be better than you were last week, progress will be inevitable.
