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.
Ok, so everyone knows about and focuses on pillar 1, nutrition. Most will also look at pillar 2, exercise and try to incorporate that into their plan to lose weight. The third and final pillar, however, is frequently neglected to the detriment of the dieter. This final pillar, mind-set, really is the foundation of the entire structure.
Lets just quickly examine these 3 pillars.
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
The third pillar is the foundation. If this foundation isn't in place then the two following pillars will not be able to stand for long. Your subconscious mind-set will set the direction you take with regards to your weight. If your mind-set isn't 'programmed' properly for long term weight loss success, you'll begin to find that the decisions you make with regard to nutrition and exercise aren't getting you to where you wish to go. Unless you are 'wired' properly on the inside, these negative decisions will eventually derail your weight loss efforts.
Unfortunately the vast majority of dieters fail to understand or recognise the importance of mind-set for long term weight loss. Without this pillar in place, everything else will crumble to the ground eventually, and all your good efforts to this point will have been wasted.
Every pillar is essential to your long term success. Its like a chair with 3 legs. If one of the legs breaks then the chair cannot stand up. If the 3 pillars are not set up properly then you will end up failing in the end. So do yourself a favour and focus on mind-set first of all. This is the pillar so often neglected, and the major reason why so many people fail.
