Hi! This is Mark Gray from the DoubleVision Conditioning Centre with another top tip. So this is one of the main reasons that people stop making progress or their progress slows. That’s because they start slipping back into their old ways.
Diets versus Habits
Now this happens a lot when people do diets. Now diets and the word, I think, is people often view them as very short term. That’s why we don’t do diets in our transformation centers. We try and create habits – lifestyle habits and health habits that will help lead to people achieving their goals. Now a habit is something you do without thinking. It’s doing your hair, which I clearly don’t have a habit because I haven’t done it today. But it’s brushing their teeth, it’s drinking water and eating. It’s things you do without thinking. If you can create health habits, the habits that will lead to you losing that weight, you’re much, much more likely to achieve your goals and it’s going to be a lot less stressful. So a lot of people fall into doing the things they used to do that actually allow them to put that weight on. That’s because they haven’t changed their habits and created new healthy habits.
Creating a Healthy Habit in 21 Days
So an actual step for you would be to identify what you think you do that detracts or stops you getting to where you want to be and try and change that into a healthy habit. It might well be having breakfast. It might be drinking three liters of water a day. Whatever it is you want to do for 21 days, because that’s how long it takes to create a habit. If you do it for 21 days consecutively and consistently, then you are very, very likely to have made that into a habit and you will be doing that without thinking soon enough.
