We are what we repeatedly do. If we want to reach our goals, we need to implement new habits daily.

But creating new habits isn’t as simple as learning something new. 

It’s first becoming CONSCIOUS of daily habits we’re doing that are so comfortable we don’t even realize we are doing them to unlearn AS we also learn the new routines.

This process is hard and it’s why so often we don’t make the changes we need or stick with the new habits for long.

That’s why I want to share 15 habit hacks I wish I’d learned sooner that have helped me now see fabulous and lasting results while continuing to grow and improve!

“It’s not my workouts. It’s my diet.”

I struggled to make the nutritional changes I needed to see the fat loss and muscle definition I wanted for the longest time.

I tried to out exercise my diet.

But you can’t. At least not for long.

And the more we try to, the more we sabotage our long-term success. Not to mention the more we make it harder and harder to lose the weight and stay lean as we get older.

So as much as we may try, there is no way around making changes to our diet if we want to see results.

That’s why I’m going to break down adjusting your diet into 7 steps to follow and follow IN ORDER to start. 

These nutrition tips are going to be annoyingly simple and unsexy and things you probably don’t want to do.

You may even think you’re above them.

But guess what? You’re not.

No one is above the basics and too often we think we’re advanced and lose focus on them which is why we don’t see results.

So suck it up buttercup. Take things back to basics and embrace the changes.

What ultimately feels sustainable and like a lifestyle balance doesn’t always start out that way.

And these changes will help you lower that mental barrier against change to create habits you can actually be disciplined with and see results snowball!

But remember, nothing changes if nothing changes.

The places we want to lose from first are often the LAST to go.

And in the process of losing fat, they often look WORSE before they look better because areas around them shrink as they stay EXACTLY THE SAME.

This makes losing belly fat even more frustrating on top of the fact that the area is scientifically more stubborn!

Yup…I say scientifically more stubborn because the lack of blood flow and the breakdown of alpha and beta fat cells in the area, make this area very hard to lose from. 

Not to mention changing hormones levels can impact where we store fat, causing us to gain more around our middles!

So all in all…belly fat is annoyingly challenging to lose and while it’s the first place we gain, will be the LAST place we lose from.
