Ok, pause. We know that the biggest factor influencing your progress and success is: consistency. How many days out of 30, no 60, no 100 are you engaging in behaviors that move you towards your goals? \u2063
\u2063
Let\u2019s really measure consistency by entertaining an 80\/20 rule. In the context of one month, that means you\u2019re eating to your calorie and macro targets on 24 days, leaving 6 days to flex around on purpose – or to account for days that don\u2019t go according to plan.\u2063
\u2063
If you\u2019re being honest with yourself, (a) are you tracking consistency in some way? And, (b) are you able to say you\u2019re doing the thing 80% of the time or more?\u2063
\u2063
That might be hard one to swallow. \u2063
\u2063
Before you go and beat yourself up for lack of progress (not recommended!) consider that it might not be your fault that you haven\u2019t been consistent. I see these common themes that make it super hard:\u2063
\u2063
>> overly complicated diets\u2063
>> diets that require drastic lifestyle changes you can\u2019t keep up\u2063
>> unrealistic goals and extreme methods to get you there\u2063
\u2063
When compared to the confusing, contradictory and complicated diet advice that we see all over the place from our favorite social media follows, tracking macros just makes sense. \u2063
\u2063
Challenge yourself to be consistent for weeks on weeks on weeks not because it\u2019s super hard, but because it\u2019s actually doable with a macros approach.
