Trouble Loosing Weight? You're Probably Doing It Wrong...

You hop on the scale, and you're two pounds down since last week. Sweet! You're on the right track.

With this positive outcome you become motivated and put in more effort in the upcoming week determined to loose more weight.

But wait.... You get on the scale again and you've gained one pound... How could this happen? You did all the right steps, but for some reason the outcome wasn't the one you hoped for.

Now you are depressed and dipping into some chocolate ice cream faster than Lebron switching from the Heat to the Cavs....

Many of my clients, and I think most people focus on numbers on the scale than what really is important, their behaviours that relate to eating.

For example. You are busy at work forget to eat a snack mid day and come to your workout on an empty stomach, can't get through it without feeling like a bag of crap. Then you come home starving and eat a huge meal before bed. This cycle repeats day in day out, and you wonder why the scale isn't tipping toward your favour.

Maybe we should focus on your behaviour before what it reads on the scale.

Many issues I've come across with clients are usually behaviours that can change very easily if its put first.

Such are:

- Going to sleep earlier to get a full 8 hours of sleep
- packing snacks for work
- preparing food for the week and not having the excuse that your spouse doesn't cook for you.
- eating out all the time
- drinking alcohol during the week
- etc

All of these above can be changed by behaviours and not worrying about which carb is a bad carb or a good carb, or which cleanse you should try next....

My suggestion focus on one behaviour change per month. You will have a higher success rate this way, than tackling on everything at once.

Once you form new habits, your body and scale will treat you with respect!
