Sometimes we hear from people online and the odd client “my diet isn’t working”.

Its very RARELY the diet.

In fact, we will go as far to say – If you’re not fully committed to a program DO NOT turn around and claim it “did not work for you”.

Your program IS NOT A loose guideline to be chosen at leisure, adjusted and reprogrammed by you, even though YOU may think otherwise.

To take the words from Lean Bodies Consulting​:

“Fat Loss is About Dietary Compliance – EVEN on the weekends

Weekend eating is just as important as weekly eating. Two days can erase five! The message there should be clear – weekends can kill your fat loss.

AND its not just the weekend.

Nibbles (and we mean period, even if its ‘healthy foods’) and extras can also ruin your fat loss.

In isolation they might not mean much and can be classified as ‘little’, but little + little + little is no longer little. In the end, these little nibbles here and there DO in fact add up and CAN put the brakes on your progress.

Think about it – 20 calories 5-6 times a day is 120 calories. In 10 days 1200 calories. In a months of 30 days, 3600 calories – thats a pound of fat you didn’t lose and in a year? 14lb of fat you could have lost. Add’s up quickly hey?

Be mindful of what goes in your mouth. Even on the weekends.I had a question previously where I was asked,

“What do you recommend to your clients that have found it to be challenging to eat their meals on the weekends?”

Answer? SUCK IT UP! You’re either committed to yourself or you’re not.

There’s no such thing as ‘sorta committed’. And make no mistake, it’s a commitment to YOURSELF.

There’s nothing special about weekends. If you can eat correctly Monday to Friday, you can eat correctly Saturday and Sunday. There’s nothing inherent to weekends that mandates a complete lack of structure – particularly when a person is claiming they’re trying to achieve a certain goal.

Serious about your goal? You’ll follow your program.

Plans, diets, training programs – they’re only as good as the person following them.

There really is a reason why we track compliance. It makes a huge difference in progress vs. no progress. And it really opens your eyes that 79%, 88%, 60%, etc, compliance isn’t going to cut it.

If you’re not fully committed to a program DO NOT turn around and claim it “did not work for you”. Your program isn’t a loose guideline to be chosen at leisure, even though you may think otherwise.

If you choose not to be compliant, that’s your choice. I love the saying “you made your bed, sleep in it”, meaning you made your choices so you can’t complain about the consequences.

It takes COMMITMENT. And sometimes you have to choose that daily. Making progress in your health and physical goals take WORK and time. Success doesn’t happen over night.”

Often on our pages, here, Bodybuilding Transformations, TEAM WILD​ etc people say the changes are impossible in 10/12/16 weeks and call the results as lies etc.

The simple fact that guys that you see on our pages doing well stay 100% compliant. Not kinda compliant. 100%.

You get out what you put in. Simple as that.
