This topic is soooooooo subjective and far deeper than, ‘i’m making an effort, therefore I should be jacked/hench/slim/ripped/’…whatever your terminology is.

Next, what is your perception of ‘results’?

Are you talking physically looking?

If so, effort isn’t enough.

Wanting isn’t enough.

They matter.

They are key concepts.

However, for body transformation, there’s a set of universal principles that belong to different systems.

If they aren’t applied, no matter HOW MUCH you want it, you won’t get it.

  1. Nutrition – Learning your best diet, not a ‘diet’. (that comes with nutritional principles).
  2. Exercise – Exercise changes the way our bodies metabolize nutrients, still think ‘exercise doesn’t matter for weight loss’? (Exercise has its own principles).
  3. Hydration – Hydration is a combination of electrolyte consumption as well as filtered water consumption (hydration has its own principles).
  4. Sleep, rest, and recovery – How well does your phone work on low a battery and/or without the latest system update…even worse, no wifi of 4g? (These principles are just as key as the other systems). So yep, planning your evening and morning routine has a direct correlation to your body transformation goals.
  5. Stress reduction techniques – How we keep our cortisol levels from running riot. the previous 4 are great systems for that, however, there are strategies, most notably, psychological ones that have a huge impact on body transformation from stress management.

As you can see, there’s a fair amount there to analyze.

Here’s your ‘aha’ moment.

Taking those systems, learning them in context to you mentally, physically, and emotionally towards the mother of all systems…

MINDSET.

This is mission control.

This is the nucleus to desired outcomes.

The motivation Vs. Ability belief system

Understanding the Law of Attraction, not to the opposite sex, calm down…In accordance to your, your life and your very outcomes.

Meaningful goal setting, long term, medium, and short term…Yep, I’m talking daily.

Planning, scheduling, creating accountability, being confident with that mental system as well as the 5 systems above.. + your home system + your work system.

That’s a complete life change right there to being your BEST version.

Guess what happens as an outcome of that?

The meaningful results that you really want…

they happen as a bi-product of you holding all of the promises to yourself required to follow through on the actions that have to happen for you to achieve that.

That means body recomposition, fitness, energy, drive, better body regularity, real confidence, real internal validation, self-esteem.

isn’t that more compelling than a restrictive ‘diet’ with rules that give you years of weight fluctuation with not much else?

The human body is much more complex than, ‘ do a diet lose weight and look great’.

There’s a reason these ‘diet’ cult companies have people yoyoing for years.

This may sound a lot, but it’s not.

it’s achievable for us all.

It’s achievable for you.

If you are willing to do the work, if you are willing to do the learning, you can have it all.

Time is inevitably going to pass, why not make that time pass with success and sustainability?

That starts with baby steps, action by action, choice by choice, habit by habit, day by day, then boom! Momentum is being made.

So, back to the results thing, your body may not be changing how you’d like because there’s a misalignment with your reality to actuality.

What you think should happen based on effort and want, but with the absence of the universal laws and principles, (that’s that lot above) that will only keep you where you are with maybe some confusion and frustration.

These may be the reasons, of course, this is subjective:

  1. Not enough consumed energy
  2. Too much-consumed energy.
  3. Too much of the macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats)
  4. Not enough of the macronutrients.
  5. inaccurate exercise to recovery ratio.
  6. Poor quality of food.
  7. Not enough consumption of electrolytes.
  8. Excess trans fats, sugar, and refined sodium (Reliance on comfort foods)
  9. Elevated cortisol from stress.
  10. Exercise training imbalances.
  11. Not enough minerals
  12. Not enough actual quality sleep.
  13. Not enough water.
  14. Not enough downtime (leads. to stress and procrastination)
  15. Aggravated digestive system (from food choices, sleep, and or stress levels).
  16. Exercise inconsistency.
  17. Micronutrient imbalance.
  18. Expecting running to transform your body shape
  19. Imbalance hormones (from food choices, sleep, and or stress levels).
  20. Poor planning, preparation, and/or scheduling in general (this gives emotions power)
  21. Allowance of environmental factors to dictate choices (people, situations, & circumstances).

That’s literally 21 reasons straight off of the bat.

The vast majority apply to many people who are attempting to better themselves but without the use of the universal laws and principles.

All of that is easily understood when you drop the diet mentality, the quick-fix methods, and pick up the tools for sustainability.

This wheel is already invented.

It’s up to you to get it rolling in accordance with you and your context.

Then, you shall see results.

Of all kinds.

Mentally, physically, and emotionally
