Consistency 🫶
Make sure you are being realistic with goals you set
Stick to 1-3 things at a time - don’t overwhelm yourself
If you currently eat every meal out, is it realistic to say you’ll make all your meals at home? Try preparing one meal daily at home to start.
If you are currently sedentary, is it realistic to set a step goal of 10K steps daily? Why not aim for an additional 500-1000k on top of what you do now.
If you eat no vegetables currently, can you add at least a fist full or two to one to two meals daily?
If you don’t include protein with every meal, can you focus on having at least 30-40 grams per meal?
Often times I find people set out to overhaul their entire life all at once.
Trying to flip your entire routine upside down will likely not work
Take it slow
Once you feel more confident, you can increase the intensity/add more
Don’t set yourself up to feel like sh*t from the jump
It’s OK to start small
Build momentum, crush it, add gradually
Remember consistency is KEY
Progress NOT perfection

Consistency is a vital component in achieving any health or weight loss goal, as emphasized in the article. One key factor to keep in mind is that what you do MOST of the time—not just occasionally—has the greatest impact on your progress. If your goal is weight loss, it's important to realize that frequent dining out or weekend indulgences can hinder results unless balanced by mostly healthy habits. A practical approach recommended is to plan for balance by being "on point" roughly 80-90% of the year, allowing room for special occasions without guilt. Preparing meals at home most of the time can significantly help control calorie intake and avoid hidden fats and sugars commonly added in restaurant meals. Starting small by cooking one meal at home daily or gradually increasing your daily step count by 500-1000 steps over your current activity levels can make changes sustainable. Integrating vegetables and adequate protein in your meals is a simple yet powerful way to improve nutrition. For example, gradually adding one to two servings of vegetables or aiming for 30-40 grams of protein per meal supports satiety, muscle maintenance, and metabolic health. An effective mindset shift involves evaluating choices as "HELL YEAH" or "MEH"—prioritizing worthwhile splurges that truly bring joy and passing on less satisfying options helps avoid unnecessary setbacks. Remember, perfection is unattainable; instead, focus on consistent, better choices that accumulate into meaningful results over time. Finally, seeking personalized support from qualified professionals, including those who accept insurance, can provide guidance, accountability, and customized strategies. Building momentum through gradual, realistic adjustments strengthens confidence and promotes sustainable health improvements.
