Hi! This is Mark Gray from the DoubleVision Conditioning Centre. We’re going to give you another top reason people stop making progress and also a way to break through this barrier.
Dishonesty With Meals and Activities
One of the main reasons people stop making progress or their progress slows is because they kind of aren’t honest with themselves about what they’re doing. This can be with respect to the food they’re eating or the activities they are taking part in. So a lot of people, in fact some studies show that people misjudge the calories and the things they’re actually putting in their mouth in a day.
Ways to Get Past Dishonesty
So one of the main ways to get past this is to either write a food diary so that you’re conscious of what you’re actually eating in the day, in the week, or to take photos of every single meal that you have. We get a lot of our clients to take photos of the food that they’re having in a day because it’s really helpful for us to see the portion size, but also see what they’re putting in their mouth, and it’s also very important for the client to realize what they’re eating.
Food Diaries and Photos
So an actual step for you would be to either complete a food diary. So write down what you’re eating in a day or take photos of the food. It makes you a lot more mindful, a little more conscious of what you’re actually eating. If you want any more help, just put your details or your email in the box below.
