Some truth to it as too many people crash diet.
For me personally I had to build into it.
First was changing how, what and when I ate.
Then it was incorporating an exercise and weight program.
Then it was a continual modification of the two.
It took me about a year, but I have lost 50 lbs and have kept it off.
My one vice is bourbon and brisket, but it’s all in moderation.
Yes.
I think it is best to have a long term goal which should be ambitious and several short term goals that are not as ambitious. Sort of like paying off a large amount of personal debt, crack one nut at a time.
I’m more of a fan of having personal fitness goals rather than weight loss goals. When I started riding bicycles in 2018 I could hardly make it 5 miles on a bike, I ride 150 miles+ per week.
