If you find yourself struggling to lose weight... you are not alone.

‍

Quite often a lot of our clients come to MPH because of this exact reason. They have either hit a plateau with their weight loss goal or have found their weight to be trending upwards over time. Either way they are frustrated and want to make a change.

‍

In our detailed consultation we ask questions to understand our clients lifestyles, habits, behaviours, values, health and history. With this information we are able to pin point opportunities or road blocks that need to be focused on to move forward with our clients goals.

‍

After helping and being proven in the field of helping clients with their weight loss/body composition goals - there are a few things that I recommend you are aware of to help achieve your weight loss goals.

‍

1 - You need accountability and a supportive environment.

Simple. But powerful. You may be someone that knows how to eat better or knows that you should be exercising... but it's just not happening and you've hit a plateau or going backwards with your weight loss goals.

‍

Sure there may be new skills to learn, but the most powerful detail will be having someone or something to keep you accountable. When you have someone you need to report to or someone that questions your behaviours it can be a way to influence your results for the better.

‍

A lot of our long term clients stay with us for years or come back to our program because they understand they need the accountability.

‍

2 - Not understanding realistic expectations of weight loss progress

Have you ever started something like a diet or workout plan and stopped because you didn't think it was working? Sometimes it could have been working but you stopped becuse you weren't sure how to manage realistic expectations of progress.

‍

I see this problem sometimes. Having targets that are realistic to your goal can help motivate and be a compass towards your weight loss success.

‍

To help manage expectations of weight loss specifically we like to recommend 0.5-1% loss of body weight per week, 0.5-1% loss of body fat per week or 1/4 inch/0.6cm loss on your navel per week.

‍

3 - Lacking basic skills

At times you may need new skills to break through weight loss plateaus. These can relate to nutrition, workout or lifestyle. At MPH we help clients learn skills with training, nutrition and lifestyle so they can maximise their weight loss results.

‍

From understanding what to eat for your goal to learning how to exercise properly for the best results... skills can help speed up your progress but a lack of skills can be the breaks that cause frustrations.

‍

4 - Lack of priority

Focus is important. You may want to lose weight... but how high is it on your priority list? The higher on the list your weight loss goal is, the more action may be taken to make it happen.

‍

It's easy to get caught up in work and life... But the quality of your health, fitness and wellbeing will dictate the quality of your life.
