“I am working SO hard!”
“I do what ‘I am supposed to’ everyday!”
“I never cheat on my diet!”
Ok, pause. We know that the biggest factor influencing your progress and success is: consistency. How many days out of 30, no 60, no 100 are you engaging in behaviors that move you towards your goals?
Let’s really measure consistency by entertaining an 80/20 rule. In the context of one month, that means you’re eating to your calorie and macro targets on 24 days, leaving 6 days to flex around on purpose – or to account for days that don’t go according to plan.
If you’re being honest with yourself, (a) are you tracking consistency in some way? And, (b) are you able to say you’re doing the thing 80% of the time or more?
That might be hard one to swallow.
Before you go and beat yourself up for lack of progress (not recommended!) consider that it might not be your fault that you haven’t been consistent. I see these common themes that make it super hard:
>> overly complicated diets
>> diets that require drastic lifestyle changes you can’t keep up
>> unrealistic goals and extreme methods to get you there
When compared to the confusing, contradictory and complicated diet advice that we see all over the place from our favorite social media follows, tracking macros just makes sense.
Challenge yourself to be consistent for weeks on weeks on weeks not because it’s super hard, but because it’s actually doable with a macros approach. Let me walk you step by step to setting your own macro targets – download my free guide below!
just because you’ve wanted it for a long time…
