Fat Loss “Winning Formulas”
You can’t really say a protocol or diet/training strategy worked or was ‘successful’ or you found a winning formula or that you got great results from it – ie. tons of cardio, low cals, low carbs – just because you got in shape and looked good on your chosen day.
Were you able to maintain and sustain it? Close to it? What happened after the fact?
Something that WORKS doesn’t just work in the s hort term, it just works period. An approach that is successful certainly doesn’t come with consequences that make it harder to achieve next time.
A ‘winning’ strategy provides results that are maintainable with a plan that is sustainable. If you flat out CAN’T maintain it and the methodology is not sustainable, it’s not a winning strategy. In fact, I’d call it a losing strategy, regardless of the short-term outcome because it winds up making things worse, even under the guise of apparent short-term success.
Think bigger picture.
