The Things No One Tells You about Losing Weight

Less than 2 Months of Training and Diet Change

Losing weight can be one of the most exciting and yet challenging things you can accomplish. At first, you are super pumped, ready to commit to new eating habits, and excited about the possibility of a new and better you as a result. However, changing your diet has unforeseen challenges. Of course, none of these challenges are impossible to address or overcome, but it’s likely that you’re not going to be aware or even think of these challenges prior to starting your new weight loss path. I have identified a few that I personally experienced during my own weight loss journey I’d like to share to get you prepared.

1. You’re going to hear a lot of conflicting and unwanted opinions. During your quest to a better and healthier you, there may people in your circle that will offer you advice or have an opinion about how you should diet or what to eat in order to achieve your goals. Remember, their input or advice likely says more about them than you. So, learn to take nutritional and dieting advice from sources you can trust like your Nutritional Coach or Personal Trainer.

2. Eating fewer calories is going to be hard at first. Changing the number of calories or a different type of caloric intake will be hard at first, but as your body adapts to these changes, it will become a lot easier. Your body has been used to eating certain types of foods at much higher caloric levels. Once you begin to monitor your food intake and develop new nutritional habits, it will normalize. Your Coach can help you target your calories in order to align with your fitness goals.

3. You may find yourself thinking about food constantly. Changing your diet may be like a “mind shock” at first. Now you find yourself thinking about what you can or cannot eat seemingly all the time. This is where the benefit of working with a Nutritional and Lifestyle Coach comes into play. With a custom food and meal strategy, you absolutely can’t go wrong. We have all been there, trying to determine what to eat on your own while trying a new fitness journey. This can simply lead to frustration (especially if you have tried this before without success) and ultimately, giving up. MVP Transformation Fitness really understands how this diet roller coaster thing works, which is why we offer nutritional and lifestyle coaching included in many of our memberships and personal training plans- no frustration here. Just a custom way to ensure your success.4. The Big ONE-don’t expect to lose weight fast. When you initially start your weight-loss plan, it may take a while before you actually see a massive drop in weight. But you can’t give up because you don’t see changes right away. Your body is trying to adapt, especially if you are engaging in a new fitness routine or plan. You must allow your body to move through this new process and soon you will see your body transform and stay that way. Changing your diet and eating habit can have a long-lasting impact as long as you remain consistent, be patient, and keep your eye on the prize-not the scale. You’ve got this! #theweightisover

Top ways to Keep Your New Year's Resolution Fitness Goals

 

Our hand is Here to Help

·         Have an accountability partner. Aiming for a goal, especially one such as weight loss, is much harder to accomplish on your own. If you have a partner or someone to be accountable for your health and wellness decisions, you are much more likely to succeed. MVP Transformation Fitness will be your accountability partner in your fitness goals. We offer nutrition guidance and coaching, personal training, and health coaching to help you on your fitness journey. Join us today!

·         Make a plan. You can’t succeed by just joining a gym and then showing up and expecting to know what to do. You’ll need to decide what days you will train, for how long, and which activities you will do. If you’re unsure, MVP Transformation Fitness can help. We offer group fitness classes for you to see what you like. We offer open gym access, instructional strength training classes, Total Body Pump, martial arts-inspired yoga classes. We have something for everyone at MVP Transformation fitness, so try us today!

·         Slow and steady wins the race. If you start out really hard and end up sore and in misery, because you can’t walk up the stairs for three days, odds are, you will quit, especially if you’ve been mostly sedentary for a while. You have time to go all out at high-intensity multiple times a week like others you may see around you. Have faith that you will get there. So in the meantime, work your body up to that level. Three times a week is fine, and low-to moderate-intensity will be sufficient to elicit a great response and results.

·         Set realistic goals. Many people quit their exercise routine because they think it’s not working when they don’t see results soon enough. Transforming your body and losing weight takes time. You’re not going to wake up one day and see a toned body and two inches gone. All of this takes time and if you quit, you’ll never see results or know what you’re capable of. Aiming to lose one pound every two weeks is realistic. Aiming to lose one pound every two days is not.

The Key to Lasting Weight Loss Results

 

Focusing on and being consistent with healthy habits is the absolute best action you can take, right now, to attain the results you’re after and achieve lasting change. Simple yet specific dietary and physical activity habits like drinking enough water each day, including colorful vegetables on your plates each day, or getting in at least 10,000 steps, are all great places to start. You don’t have to do them all at once, either. It takes one day and one rep at a time. Our expert coaches at MVP Transformation Fitness help you remain accountable throughout your fitness journey.  

Pick one or two healthy habits to work on for a few weeks; make it so easy at first that you physically can’t fail. You’ll distract yourself from the constant worrying about the scale, and when you focus on these things, lasting and meaningful change will follow. 

Consistency is found in those small, repetitive, seemingly unimportant decisions you make each and every day. Slow it down, stop putting so much pressure on yourself, and make the decisions that allow you to feel your best. Whether that means losing weight, getting stronger or faster, or simply trying to make better dietary choices for yourself each day, your success on this journey will depend on your consistency over the long-haul.  This why we absolutely love helping our clients develop the best strategies and approaches to smashing their goals.  We're always accepting new clients like you to help you finally get the results you want.

How to Deal with Set Backs

 

Given the ebbs and flow of 2020, we all may have suffered a setback in one form or fashion. No matter if you've tried weight loss, start a new side business or a new hobby, setbacks will likely occur. 

In the world of health and fitness, setbacks happen to everyone-even the fittest person. The most important thing is how you choose to deal with and respond to those setbacks. Real progress is made when you accept that health and fitness is not linear and that perfection isn’t possible. 

Accept responsibility for your actions, take a deep breath, and vow to get back on track. Nothing is as black and white as we make it seem, and you are not good or bad if you made poor food choices or skipped a workout. Acknowledge your shortcomings and take the time to figure out how you might avoid a particular setback in the future. As your accountability partners at MVP Transformation Fitness, we provide you with the best approaches to avoid setbacks and gain the success you've always wanted. 

A few ways to avoid a setback is to have a plan: create a workout schedule, make time in your week to shop for and prep whole and healthy meals ahead of time, set aside time in your workday to get in some extra steps, movement or stretching–whatever it maybe. Make the commitment to yourself to keep moving forward and not let setbacks be the reason you give up on your health and fitness journey.  If you're challenged with constant setbacks, perhaps you need more support from a professional team to remove that pattern such as MVP Transformation Fitness. We specialize in helping with your lifestyle challenges and concerns.  

Why You Can’t Fail (Cause It’s a Learning Experience, Everything You Do Gets You a Little Closer to Your Goal) MVP Transformation Fitness

 

If you've failed time and time again with your weight loss goals or diet, you're not alone. We have all "failed" but it's how you get back in the game that counts. Don't fear trying again until you find the right "formula" for success.  

The biggest hurdle is to overcome the fear of failure. We all learn from our errors, and no one is perfect enough not to commit any mistakes. Learning from failures is important. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be your own failures; learn also from the mistakes and errors of the people who went before you.

You should be proud of your mistakes. Don’t feel horrible because of mere errors. Mistakes help us gain knowledge on our weight loss journey to help us get to our goals stronger and better than ever.

Here are some of the reasons why failures and everything you do will get you closer to your goal:

·         Failures trigger creativity and enable us to think outside the box.

·         Mistakes and errors make us resilient; we can understand the adversity of overcoming challenges.

·         Failure teaches us humanity; we are all humans and mistakes are inevitable.

·         Every failure provides references; we are always better each day when we try something

·         Failure offers us new ideas; they push our limits in addition to offering new things that inspire us

 

Ultimately, everything we do should add courage. Failure makes us wiser. Thomas Edison said that “I’ve not failed. I’ve found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Mistakes are true references!

Let MVP Transformation Fitness show you how it's possible to finally have a successful weight loss journey to include mistakes and all (wink).  Partnering with us will offer you the resources, tools, tips, and accountability to make it happen.

Foods/ Drinks You Should Avoid in Your Healthy Diet

 

                                  

 It’s very easy to get confused about which foods/drinks are healthy for your body and which aren’t. Grant it, there are a ton of options out there. 

Generally, you need to avoid certain foods/drinks to lose weight, prevent chronic illness, to keep fit and also to keep a healthy body and mind.

Here is a list of unhealthy foods/drinks you should avoid while starting a new diet or only consumed occasionally as a “treat” once you begin to obtain some fitness or weight loss goals:

❖        Sugary drinks (sugary drinks fasten obesity and weight gain)

❖        Some pizzas (junk food made from unhealthy ingredient like refined dough and processed meat)-however, we recommend you eat gluten-free or plant base crust instead

❖        Fried, grilled, or boiled food (highly palatable and dense in calories)

❖        Cakes, pastries, and cookies (copious calories, no essential nutrients, and the many preservatives)

❖        Potato chips and french fries (with large amounts of acrylamides that are carcinogenic substances)

❖        Gluten-free junk foods (trigger rapid spike of the blood sugar level, also low on essential nutrients)

❖        Low-fat yogurt (choose full-fat yogurt)

❖        Low-carb junk food (highly processed with additives)

❖        Ice cream (high in calories)

❖        Processed meat (cause diabetes, heart disease and colon cancer)

 

Focus on whole foods to steer a healthy diet!  Remain consistent, ask for help from a professional personal trainer or nutritional coach.  Happy healthy eating good people.
