We all know that diet and exercise are vital aspects of losing fat, but they aren’t the only ones—and they may not even be the most important! We’re sharing two fat loss secrets (that are NOT diet and exercise!) that can help you get—and maintain—the results you want.
While nutrition and fitness are obvious players in the healthy lifestyle game, they may not really matter much without two other vital components. The problem is, these two components are often overlooked by many people just starting out with a healthy-living transition.
It’s why so many people set resolutions they don’t stick to.
It’s why the yo-yo diet rollercoaster exists.
It’s why you’ve likely tried to lose the weight on your own, to no avail.
We’re BIG believers in whole-food nutrition, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and balanced macros. Make no mistake, we believe these strategies will do for you what no other diet or program can. BUT—you still need these two things to get results that last.
The Two Secrets to Fat Loss are…
Community and Accountability
At the end of the day, if you don’t have a community alongside you and the accountability you need to create new habits, even a comprehensive program like the FASTer Way to Fat Loss may not work.
Sustainable fat loss takes more than just a good strategy. You have to learn to change your behaviors, and you have to be willing to create new habits. That takes time, effort, and perseverance.
Left to do that on their own, most people are likely to:
Quit when things get too hard or life is too busy
Slow down when something is confusing
Go back to old habits after “messing up”
However, with the right community and consistent accountability in place, most people are significantly more likely to not only see results but to maintain results over time.
Accountability
There’s something inside all of us that just responds to being held accountable. Whether it’s daily check-ins with a Facebook group, text messages from a friend, or working with a coach once a week, the likelihood of following through when you know someone is checking on you is significantly higher than when you have no accountability. In fact, a Stanford study found that just one check-in call every two weeks increased the amount of exercise in participants by 78%.
Having someone, preferably a neutral someone, hold you accountable, could be THE game-changer for your fat loss journey.
Community
Life is not meant to be lived alone. We are far more likely to keep going when we have a community of support behind us. Sometimes knowing that you are not alone (and that others are feeling the same way you are feeling) is critical to pushing through hard seasons.
When you have a community of like-minded individuals, you are far more likely to stick with your goals, because you want to be an active member of that community. Additionally, other members of the community are there when you need an objective perspective or when you are feeling unsure about how to proceed.
These Secrets are Pivotal
Without accountability and community, life has a way of pushing us off track before we’re set in our new habits.
That’s why we at the FASTer Way to Fat Loss are committed to helping you feel 100% plugged into a community of others ready to shed fat, feel incredible, and live their healthiest lives.
We know that in order to get well, prevent disease, and fulfill your purpose with energy, you are going to need daily check-ins to help you stay consistent and knowledgeable coaches to answer your real-time questions.
We want you to succeed and we’re here to guide you every step of the way! That’s why we built community and accountability into our program.
Because it works.
