This needs to be said...

You need to stop this...


When it comes to fat loss you may sometimes find yourself looking for a scapegoat or the excuse. Whether that be bread, sugar, wine, chocolate or dairy.

What you actually need to do is stop 'pussy footing' around the subject and just accept where you are and what you need to do.

XXXX doesn't make you fat, consistently eating in a calorie surplus does.

Removing XXXX from your diet doesn't make you lose weight, consistently creating a calorie deficit does. If removing some or all of the portions of XXXX from your diet help you achieve that then great.

Everything you eat and drink needs to form part of a sustainable diet. If you like bread, eat some. If you like chocolate eat some. I like pizza, but I know I can't eat 3 pizzas everyday and still hit my calorie needs and macro nutrient targets (protein, carb, fat).

I'm not using the term moderation. Moderation is flawed.

If you justify eating 2 bars of chocolate a week because that is your moderation, you then go on to use that reason for having 2 take aways, 3 beers, 1 bag of crisps, 3 bags of sweets...because you see each food as consumed in moderation.

But has it been really? Or are these moderated food calories the ones that are keeping you at your weight or helping that unwanted weight creep on?

It is time to account - asses - change.
