One Month on a Diet, Zero Pounds Lost... Seriously?!

"I was on a diet for a month, and all I lost was 30 days." Yep, that's me. I've been on the cycle of going on a diet and didn't lose weight. But you know what? That's okay. As a doctor and a fitness competitor for nearly 20 years – I fell off the wagon, too.

In this episode I want to share with you how I restarted my journey and regained a fitness athlete lifestyle.

Listen to One Month on a Diet, Zero Pounds Lost... Seriously?!

[03:52:38] Losing half a pound.

I was disappointed, but I didn't give up. Instead, I stepped back and evaluated what was holding me back. What I realized was that my life was different now then than it was when I was competing years ago.

[03:53:24] Changing the game with meal preparation.

I found a healthy meal prep company online that allowed me to pick up 15 meals each week. And it was a great value because of the time it saved with the convenience it gave me with two meals per day covered. I only had to worry about planning a healthy breakfast.

[03:54:08] Look at what your stuck point is. What limiting factor will help you start moving forward if you remove it? For me, it was meal prep. For you - what is it? In my case, I began to feel better with my healthier diet, and I had more energy which allowed me to stick to my exercise program better.

[03:54:42] Getting that momentum is all you need.

If you're struggling to get back on track with your fitness goals, remember that it's never too late to get started or start again. Find the one thing that works for you – the one that will get that momentum going and keep pushing forward. You got this!
