True story.
I was teaching a client the benefits of a proper eating plan (frequent meals, proper food choices, portion control, etc.) and she asked me how long she would need to eat this way.
She obviously doesn't get it yet, but she's new the whole fitness thing.
I can't blame her.
The media where most folks get their information is filled with "short-term mentality."
Short-term mentality is the latest Hollywood actress-based diet, an article in a women's magazine touting a quick way to lose X-number of pounds in 4 weeks, or a TV news program announcing the latest scientific finding that some isolated behavior impacts weight loss.
It's all based on the short-term. Do this one thing and all your weight loss worries go out the door.
Of course, we know better.
It's about making relatively permanent changes in your lifestyle FOREVER, that makes the difference.
Don't worry no one expects you to be perfect with your eating and exercise program. Training and nutrition expert Dr. John Berardi states that we need to be at our best on all levels for about 90% of the time.
If you have 42 eating opportunities per week (6 meals x 7 days), getting 38 of them correct will get you where you want to be.
If you have 16 workouts scheduled in a month, if you miss 1 or 2, it most likely won't set you back. (By the way, that doesn't give you permission to intentionally miss them)
You only need an "A-" to pass, but if you strive for an A+. Your results are guaranteed.

P.S. The eating component of a fitness program tends to be the most challenging part when making such a lifestyle adjustment. To make is easier, achieve your goals, and still eat delicious and nutritious food, I recommend that you check out Dr. John Berardi's Precision Nutrition.
