Most people tend to struggle in their fight to lose weight and keep it off for good. The most common reason for this is because they fail to put into place all of the foundation pillars that are needed for long term success. It really is that simple.
Now, everyone looking to lose weight focuses on the first pillar - nutrition. The majority will also build the second pillar - exercise. The third pillar, however, is the most important. It is the foundation pillar that almost everyone neglects, and which, as a consequence, causes failure. This pillar is mind-set.
Right, lets take a quick look at these pillars one by one.
Pillar 1 - Nutrition
I am sure that you are perfectly aware of the importance of nutrition for weight loss. However, despite what so many people are led to believe, its really not as simple as calories in vs calories out. The two most important things to consider for long term weight loss are sustainability and health. Unless you develop a healthy system you will not be able to lose weight for good, so its important to shift the focus towards health, not simply weight loss, when on a diet.
Pillar 2 - Exercise
Exercise is certainly secondary to nutrition, particularly with regards to short term results. However, when talking about permanent weight loss exercise becomes a lot more important. Not only is it very important in allowing us to develop a healthy system, but it is also a key element when it comes to controlling hormones and manipulating metabolism, two extremely important factors to look at with regards to long term weight loss success.
Pillar 3 - Mind-Set
In reality, the two above pillars will crumble and fall to the ground eventually unless this third pillar is in place. Why? Well, simply because unless you have the right subconscious mind-set, you'll never stick with the right nutrition or exercise plan for long. Now, when I say mind-set, I'm not simply talking about what you think consciously about weight loss, but how you are subconsciously programmed. This is what will determine the direction you life takes.
Unfortunately, very few people look at mind-set as being important. They simply do not get that its this subconscious driving force that will really determine whether or not you are able to actually maintain any weight loss progress for long.
There's no doubt that each pillar is essential in the long run. Imagine a 3 legged chair. Take one leg away and what happens? The chair falls over. The same is true with your weight. Start with your mind-set and then set the other pillars in place. Do so and you'll lose weight quickly, easily, and never see it return.
