If there was a way to lose the weight and keep it off without having to think about it, wouldn’t that be life changing?

What I’m trying to say is rather than having to constantly worry about managing your weight, wouldn’t it be amazing to just never have to worry about it again.

Well thats why today i want to go over 3 critical weight loss tips that will allow you to free yourself from the constant cycle of losing weight and gaining it back, sometimes even more.

These weight loss tips are not going to be your generic typical tips like a detox, cardio or endless amount of crunches.

Instead these will be about deeper concepts that will allow you to transform your mind into a tool that makes staying in shape easy and effortless.

First I want to start with your values.

Tip #1 Your Core Values

Here’s the deal, nobody talks about how important your mind and your belief system is when it comes to losing weight. However, this is where it all starts from.

If your values are set on being skinny, having a perfectly ripped 6-pack or looking exactly like someone else in a magazine, it’s going to be a lot harder for you to achieve your goals believe it or not.

Your core values should be deeper than that.

Great core values that WILL get you to your goals are things like:

1. Always looking to improve and become a better version of yourself
2. Always maintaining good health
3. Getting stronger then you were yesterday and…
4. A commitment to aging gracefully.

I don’t care how old you are, we’re all getting older and what you do now will determine what and who you’re going to be 20 years from now.

Notice that all those core values that I just mentioned are all pertaining to yourself. They are not based on someone else.

What this does is it gives you complete control over your life.

You can’t control whether you’re going to have a perfect looking six-pack like the model in the magazine.

However, you can control whether you’re going to have a better core or in general a better body then what you had yesterday.

Don’t worry about other people. Focus on yourself and improving over the days weeks months and years.

A good example of this is one of my training partners. We did the same workouts, followed similar diets, put in the same amount of time and sometimes.

Both of us improved, both of us got healthier, both of us got stronger, we got leaner ,but we both look different.

One’s not better than the other, but what if my training partner got obsessed about “only wanting a six pack just like mine” and that’s the one thing that he valued?

If he didn’t get it he would quit.

In fact he might not even give it enough time to even see if he can get a six pack before he quits.

He would have lost all those increases in strength, health functionality, mobility and he sure wouldn’t stay lean very long all because his value system was wrong.

Your values should not be to have a six-pack.

My values were never to have a six pack it was a side effect of chasing after things like getting stronger, being a better version of myself than I was yesterday, being more athletic mixed with hard work in the gym and descent genetics.

So the first tip is to adjust your values and make sure you focus on what you can a 100% control.

Next I want draw an even further distinction about your mindset.

I’ve noticed that there’s two types of thinking people have when it comes to fitness and building their body.

Nature versus nurture.

Tip #2 – Nature versus Nuture

This is one of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology.

To put it simply, if you believe in a nature perspective it aligns you with the belief that a person’s development is predisposed to his or her DNA.

However, adopting the nurture perspective acknowledges that everyone has different starting points, but it aligns you with the belief that a persons development is influenced by life experiences and his or her environment.

Even though you can be somewhere in the middle of these two mindsets, usually people tend to lean more towards one of way of thinking over the other.

Since nature vs nurture has been a highly debated topic for generations and it’s been debated by psychologists that are far more qualified than me, my goal is not to debate which one is correct.

My goal is to simply find which one will serve you better in your weight loss journey.

With nature the spotlight is on genetics and there’s no denying that genetics exist but with nature, your usually giving your genes more credit and more control than yourself and your actions.

With nurture, yes of course genes will influence certain traits but your environment plays a much larger role.

It’s so important to align with the right belief system because a person’s thoughts and actions are highly influenced by their beliefs.

The people that believe that everything is up to nature, express statements like I’m not athletic, obesity runs in my family and both my parents had high blood pressure so that’s why I have it.

All of these statements take the control over your own body out of your hands and give that control over to natural forces that are outside of your control.

With a really strong nature philosophy on life you believe that some people won the genetic lottery while others did not.

People that adopt more of a nurture philosophy will say things like:

• I’m not naturally athletic now but, if I work on it consistently I can become athletic.
• Most of my family is obese, but I don’t have to be because I can reinforce different habits than them
• High blood pressure runs in my family, but I can do things to reduce and eliminate my risks.

As you can see clearly, this kind of mindset puts a lot of control back in your hands regardless of the cards that nature has dealt you.

If you truly believe that you’re destined to be obese because of poor genes, how will you possibly give a 100%t of your effort to working out and dieting.

You’ll start the diet or the exercise program and already believe it’s not going to work for you so you won’t even put in the level of effort necessary to actually make the change.

I can tell you right now this form of thinking is not true no matter what hand you’ve been dealt.

You can improve it without trying to be someone else, but instead trying to be the better version of who you were yesterday this moves us right into the next concept.

Tip #3 – Consistency

For a second I want you to imagine you’re in one of those conveyor belts at the airport except you’re running against it in the wrong direction.

If you sprint and you get halfway to the end and then you stop you’re gonna end up right back in the beginning

If you jog way slower but you’re moving just enough to keep improving and moving closer to the end, you’re gonna make it there.

The conveyor belt in this example I’m using to illustrate things like:

• Gaining fat
• Muscle atrophy
• Losing conditioning
• Losing strength

These are all parts of life.

That quote if you don’t use it you’ll lose it, it’s so true!

There’s a natural force that will take away your muscle, It’ll take away your lean body, that’s the conveyor belt.

Whether you like it or not, it’s there with you your whole life.

The only way to keep moving towards your goal of your ideal physical body is with consistency.

If you stop and restart, stop and restart, you’re gonna keep ending up back in the beginning and you’re just never going to be able to build on top of your progress.

That’s why the most important thing is to accept that there’s no reason why you should not be at the very least exercising consistently no matter what.

Even if you’ve been eating bad for the last couple days, weeks or even months (not that I recommend it), but if that was the case you should still always exercise consistently.  It’s something that is required of us.

We are all physical beings and you must perform physical activity, for the rest of the time you’re going to be a physical being or else you’re just gonna let yourself slide back on that conveyor belt.

Decide that working out needs to be as much of a habit as brushing your teeth, taking a shower and eating.

You don’t brush your teeth and then just stop because your teeth look nice right now.

You invest in your teeth on a daily basis to be able to have a payoff of great teeth on a daily basis year after year.

Now this brings me right into my next tip.

If it’s all about consistency you have to pick a plan that you’re going to actually be consistent with.

Pick A Plan

Sure if you’re trying to lose a large amount of weight a restrictive diet can help in the beginning, but you have to transition it to something that’s more suitable for the rest of your life otherwise if you stay on the restricted diet plan for too long, you’ll eventually start to binge eat.

Along term plan is not the same for everyone. In fact it’s very different from person to person.

For example, if you really love carbs and you want to do a keto diet to lose some weight, you can obviously do that.  However, you’re not going to be able to not eat carbs for the rest of your life.  If you really love carbs I doubt it

You can do the keto diet for let’s say six weeks to burn fat (or this 14 day kept challenge I recommend) a little faster, but then make sure that you transition into a diet plan with more of an allowance of carbs otherwise you’re counting down until a binge.

Any restrictive diet should be limited to four to six weeks unless you’re training for a competition then after those four to six weeks you want to start looking into more of a flexible dieting approach like: if it fits your macros or fasting.

Now this same concept of setting up your fitness lifestyle around you applies more than just to your diet plan.

It also applies to things like your workout schedule. Some people are much better at getting to the gym first thing in the morning and getting it out of the way. This way they don’t have to worry about it.

Others have no energy in the morning. Some people are better at going to the gym every other day because the day off helps them. Others have to go every day to keep them motivated and to keep the momentum moving them forward.

So when you come up with your plan, base it on yourself. There are a lot of different diet and workout plans that work (so many), but there’s only gonna be one that works the best for you and that plan needs to be built around you at the center, not around a fad diet or a magazine workout plan.

So those are the three tips and remember that if you want to manifest a different body from what you have right now, the change has to first start in your mind.

What’s Next?

Some people get lean with Paleo… until they crash and burn into a pile of pasta.

Some flourish as a Vegan… until the daytime fantasies of cheeseburgers become nighttime realities.

And some drop a ton of fat on keto… until cravings strike and they wolf down 2 pounds of French fries.

Why does this merry-go-round of dieting madness continue?

There’s a common reason why these approaches can work initially, but then ultimately fail:

None of them take into account your fat burning type.

That’s what reflects your body’s unique ability to burn fat and that’s essential… because if you’re not burning fat, you’re storing fat.

While everyone is slightly different, there are 4 main fat burning types.

And your type makes a huge difference in which foods keep you lean and healthy.

If you struggle with weight loss, have you ever considered asking yourself this:

“What is my fat burning type?”

And what simple daily choices can I make to ensure I’m burning fat, instead of storing it?

If not, here’s a great place to find out which of the 4 fat burning types you are.

Over 250,000 people have tried this approach successfully.

This may finally help solve the weight loss riddle for you as well, so give it a shot.
