One step at a time...

Fast, intense changes tend to lead to failure. Fast, intense changes make you dumb. Small, consistent changes lead to success. Small, consistent changes make you smart.

Every so often someone will tell me a story. They'll tell me about their New Year's resolution, or their Fall-Fat reduction plan, they'll tell me about how they threw out all their ice cream, and potato chips, bought only chicken, broccoli, and brown rice. They'll tell me how well they did, how much weight they lost, how great they felt. Then they'll tell me how they fell off the wagon. How they tired of the diet, how they lost focus on what they were working for.

At this point it's my turn to tell them a story. I'll tell them about the Fit2You "1-step at a time" program. I'll tell them how making small, weekly changes over the course of a number of months will lead them to success. I'll tell them how they should only throw out ONE bad food, and replace it with ONE good food. I'll tell them how they should buy chicken, and broccoli, and brown rice, and they should also buy ice cream OR potato chips. I'll tell them how well they're going to do, how much weight they'll lose, and how great they'll feel. A few months later, they always tell me how well they're doing, how much weight they've lost, and how great they feel. Then a few more months later, they tell me the same. You get the point...

These fast changes lead to burn-out. It's just too easy to give up one yourself, when you give up everything you know, everything that comforts you. That's the bottom line, food comforts us. We give up comfort, we fail.

The Fit2You "1-Step at a time" program breaks your life into chunks. We look at your lifestyle, and we make a few changes - right away. If, for example, you drink only coffee all day, we'll make a simple change: substitute one coffee for a bottle of water. Maybe your only exercise is the one or two days you meet with your trainer, we'll make a simple change: take 1-20 minute walk after dinner each week.

Over the course of several months you begin to adapt to your new schedule. You begin to adapt to, more meals, fewer calories, more protein, fewer carbs. And even better, you'll succeed. You'll work hard, you'll find lasting success.

The Fit2You "1-step at a time" program isn't a diet - it's a lifestyle. So, like I said: Fast, intense changes tend to lead to failure. Fast, intense changes make you dumb. Small, consistent changes lead to success. Small, consistent changes make you smart.
