Your Fat Loss Funnel

Having trouble making sense of the latest Fat Loss Remedies, Prescriptions and Trends?
Do you tend to doubt your choices or feel confused by the variety of
strategies with testimonial proof that promise you will look better,
lose weight quickly and never regain it?
Many women fall in this trap and I’m sure you tried or know someone
close who tried any number of diet fads with similar results....
* you initially lose weight, but that is mostly water and muscle tissue
* you feel weak because your body lacks minerals and vitamins
* you have unexpected cravings
* your moral is low
* you eventually regain all the weight you lost and most likely end up with a little extra too.
So how do you make sense of it all when each approach has a number of
studies and before and after pictures to prove their method of "weight
loss" works and is all you will ever need?
Enter - your Fat Loss Funnel.
Either you have the Fit Yummy Mummy System
or you are just considering your options...doesn't matter for you still
need a way to determine what is fact, what is fiction and what will
work best for you.
To start, let's get the "easy" part of the Fat Loss Funnel.
No matter how glorified the "program" or "product" appears to be, you
can feel confident in turning away if it has one or more of the
following traits...
* Promises or Guarantees rapid weight loss.
Any weight loss of more than 2 pounds per week is too rapid, unsafe, and is unlikely to stay off.
* Promises easy weight loss without exercise or that weight loss can be
maintained without lifestyle changes - this means, you do not have to
change how you eat, how you move or how you think....and you will still
lose??
* Uses miracle or magical foods or drinks.
No food or drink can melt away fat or undo years of overeating and lack of effective exercise.
* It's basis lies in restricting what you eat.
From asking you to consume less than 1,000 calories to asking that you
consume only one (or a limited number) of foods - BIG red flag if the
foods you are asked not to eat are whole, natural foods - or encourages
consuming certain types foods in mass quantities. A sound nutrition
plan is one that is balanced and includes a variety of healthful foods.
* Your results hinge on the use of unproven weight loss aids such as
herbs, appetite suppressants, fat burning supplements, body wraps,
pills, cellulite creams, etc.
* Sound too good to be true.
We are women. We were born with an innate trait called Intuition. This
is that initial gut feeling you have about something....and if it is in
any way a negative-not-so-sure feeling...Listen to your gut.
Just so everyone is clear - there is no magic bullet, instant cure, or
easy way out. True Fat Loss Results are not mindless nor easy.
At ClubFYM you have access to a trusted source - one that actually
cares about your ability to achieve TRUE fat loss results and make
positive, permanent changes to your lifestyle so you will never have to
ride the weight loss roller coaster again.
Next Step:
At this point - once you have the Obvious traits of a Fad out of the way - you have a decision to make.
This is a personal decision and may hinge on many factors but you first
must choose based on what sounds good, feels right and fits into your
lifestyle.
The true secret to Fat Loss Results is ........Consistency.
As Shannon eventually realized during a trip to the bookstore...feeling
overwhelmed by the sheer volume of diet books available...just about
any plan will get you results - As Long As You Do IT.
Therefore, when it comes down to making that personal decision...you
must ask yourself if this "plan" is something you are willing to do for
the rest of your life.
Shannon says it best:
"...maybe the "magic pill" is really about finding something that works for me.
As I read through Holly's ebook the first time, I just remember
thinking things like: I can do this, I already do that, that doesn't
sound so bad, those exercises look fun, we eat that already, I like
eating every few hours. There was nothing that sent me running for the
snack cabinet out of a Last Supper sort of desperation. And no crazy
advice that a mom could never follow."
What is your Fitness Personality?
~ If you will be consistent by having one plan, that rings true to your
needs and your lifestyle and eliminates confusion - then one is all you
need.
~ If you will be consistent by having a couple trustworthy plans to
pick and choose from for added variety - then your approach to invest
in more than one program is what works best for you.
No matter what approach you decide to take, I hope that you will take
the time to at least allow ClubFYM to be your checkpoint or funnel if
you will, as you hold alternative approaches next to the concepts you
do know work so you can avoid the thoughts of...."What if I'm doing
this all wrong!"
"...what I've learned is that all sorts of diets can give people
results (whether or not they maintain the results is another story),
but what really matters is finding the one that feels right, and FYM
really is a Mom's best friend." ~ Shannon
