Newsflash!
Newflash!
I just wanted to point something out about nutrition and training with the end goal of fat loss. (and I emphasize fat loss since that’s what we’re concerned primarily with; not just losing ‘weight’ for the sake of losing weight …. right? RIGHT?)
You know, the only way for nutritional strategy to work for you is if you actually follow it. Make sense? I sure hope it makes sense.
You can’t expect a diet, no matter how well designed it is, to work, if you don’t follow it - whether that means changing it in such a way that you’re eating too much, not eating enough/skipping meals, secretly cheating and eating off plan too much, etc.
Same goes with exercise - if you have a plan you’re following, follow it. Don’t go adding 2 hours of extra cardio when it’s completely unnecessary. and arguaby stupid.
And then when you do all that (the deviations that is), don’t stop and think your plan, whatever that may be, doesn’t work. It’s you that doesn’t work. 
A plan is useless without execution.

Nah, not brutal - brutally frank maybe.
No sugar coating here.

So true! This 5 weeks, no cheats challenge is REALLY showing how true this is!

Well, maybe not TOTALLY useless. The paper it’s written on can be used for a grocery list.
Excellent point that is often overlooked and/or proven!

I too am printing this out. I deserved a spanking today. But I already knew all you had written, and just had to have someone else point it out to me…….. it will be good to see it in print on a daily basis on the fridge.
