It Starts With A Decision

I work with many clients who come to me when they are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

They come expecting me to 'fix them' or to give them the 'magical secret' of weight loss.
 First we take a comprehensive medical and lifestyle history and I explain the benefits of being fitter, how great it feels living a more vibrant life and why Body Composition matters more than 'weight loss'. 

I also emphasise that it is far easier to set up your environment to support your health and fitness goals, rather than to rely on will-power alone.

The truth is, no one is motivated all the time.
 
And you can't out-train a bad diet.

Then we get to work.

The MET Fitness 6 Week Challenge gets you thinking about how you nourish your body and you learn how much you are able to influence your body toward a healthier state.

Managing blood sugar levels, the amount of sleep you get and how much exercise you do all impact the way your body uses and stores energy.

Most people want to see results in a week and I remind them that it's a 6 Week Challenge for a reason. You WILL notice significant and predictable results, and changes to your body, based on your commitment to the program.

This program teaches you HOW to structure three healthy meals each day and gives you the skills to make healthy decisions at parties, dining out, other situations that life inevitably brings.

If you have been overweight for a long time, you may have tried loads of diets, programs, pills, shakes and found that none of it worked.

This is NOT a diet.

Dieting is unsustainable and leads to even greater weight gains once you 'go off' the diet, as you have trained your metabolism to store fat rather than burn fat.


Remember that Magical Secret I was talking about?
 
Well here it is - you are the product of your habits and behaviours.

What you do every day leads to results over time.

Eating for reasons other than hunger creates results that show up in your body. Driving to work to sit at a desk, driving home to sit on the couch will also lead to predictable results.

Including fresh vegetables and adequate protein in every meal, going for a walk every day, doing some basic strength exercises a few times a week will also produce predictable physical, mental and emotional results.

Let's be clear, if you are unhappy with yourself, losing weight will not make you happy.

Be happy now - and from there take the necessary steps towards your health and fitness goal.
 
Set up your life to meet your goals, surround yourself with people who value their health and fitness and start to think of your health as a precious gift you give yourself.

It starts with a decision. It starts with you.

And when you need to check in, be accountable or simply outsource your motivation, I'm here to help.
