Diet motivation tips
There are lots of different ways how you can motivate yourself to lose fat permanently. A great way to do it is by setting short-term and long-term goals for yourself. The problem very often is that people have no goals to aim at, or if there are any goals, then they are very low, so they are not motivating. Here is how it should look like:
1. Your ultimate long-term goal that you want to reach – the ideal body
2. 12 month goal
3. 3 month goal(s)
4. Weekly goals
5. Daily goals
6. The goal of beating your personal best
Firstly, you have to figure out what kind of a body to you want to achieve. How do you want to look? Just imagine the perfect body and make it your target. Do not be afraid of setting a very high standard, if your standard is very low, then it is not very motivating. I am sure everyone has some kind of a body in mind and if you have that, then thinking about it when times are though is very helpful.
What to you want to achieve in 12 months? This is for those people who have a lot of fat to lose. For example if you want to lose 50 kilos, then it takes a long time, much longer than one year.
The 3 month goal is the most important of all. Because people can go through amazing transformations in only 3 months. And unlike the one year goal, that seems to far away, the 3 month goal is just right to give you the push you need to lose fat. We all know that people work the hardest, when they have a deadline coming up.
Once every week you can weigh yourself and measure your body fat percentage. Because if you only weigh yourself or only measure your body fat percentage, then you do not get very good feedback. If you do that, then you know the exact amount of FAT you have lost, so you are constantly on track.
The small goals that you have should prevent you from craving for food and skipping your workouts for example. If you make it very clear that tomorrow you will not eat junk food and that you will go train in the gym,then that is all you have to do. You do not have to think about where you are at in 12 months every single day. You only have these small steps that keep you on track and give you motivation.
