The Fat Loss Commandment

March 19, 2008 | 1 Comment

On Friday I wrote an article for the Faster Fat Loss Zone entitled “15 Fat Loss Mistakes”. Out of all the mistakes that I discussed in the article I think that number 15 is the one that plagues people the most.

 15. Not being Honest With Yourself About Your Compliance – Let’s be honest. You can eat an extra piece of toast and not mark it down. You can make that teaspoon of peanut butter more like a tablespoon and not tell anyone but in the end the tape measure never lies. Lie to yourself now but you’ll be disappointed later on when the time comes to measure your progress. It is better to be honest about your compliance so you can make strides to fix the holes in your plan, then lie to yourself, not lose the weight, and be stuck saying “I don’t know why I’m not losing any weight.”

Are you making this mistake? Be honest with yourself. If you aren’t physically tracking your compliance then you need to start there. How many of your planned meals are you eating? How many are you missing? That is step one. The next step is to ensure that you are accurately tracking your compliance. This is an area we are all tempted to cheat in.

One of the not so obvious reasons why I recommend that people “chunk” their food prep and do in 1-2 times a week is  because many people snack while cooking (I’m very guilty in this area). A slice of chicken here, a couple carrots there, you know what I’m talking about. These things add up.

If you are having trouble losing weight then take the advice found in Mistake 15 and audit your honesty.
