Part 4 of 5

At this point in this short blog series we’ve hit on three of the TOP frustrations clients share that they have experienced before coming into The Lifetime Metabolic Program. Let’s move on to #4, but before we do here’s a reminder of the first three:

• Frustration #1: Choosing the RIGHT Strategy
• Frustration #2: “Cheating” on YOURSELF
• Frustration #3: Not Seeing Quick Enough Results

Now, here we go with #4

Frustration #4: Feeling Miserable!

Have you ever paid attention to the first 3 letters of the word “DIET’?

D-I-E … That’s exactly what most weight loss approaches make you feel like you’re going to do! It’s also why most weight loss programs don’t work. Heck, it’s why you cheat on yourself (as referenced in Frustration #2). No human being can feel cruddy, lethargic and hungry very long before they cheat, quit, or fall off another diet wagon.

So far in this short blog series we’ve hit on two of the TOP frustrations clients share that they have experienced before coming into The Lifetime Metabolic Program. Before we dig into #3 here’s a reminder of those first 2 …

• Frustration #1: Choosing the RIGHT Strategy
• Frustration #2: “Cheating” on YOURSELF

If you need to refresh yourself or want to read them for the first time to get caught up please do! We will be building on them here and the upcoming weeks. Now, on to Frustration #3 …

Frustration #2: “Cheating” on YOURSELF

This topic is SOOOO frustrating, isn’t it? We SAY we want to do something … then we fail to keep our word. It’s our word to OURSELF! Most people fighting weight challenges KNOW they need to shuck some poundage. They secretly try … but many fail over and over.

SELF discipline is tough. Repeated failure despite good intentions creates frustrations. One quote that seems to tie into this common occurrence says this:

Frustration #1: Choosing the RIGHT Strategy

Maybe the most frustrating thing about wanting to lose weight is just making the selection of HOW you’re going to do it! Americans are bombarded with ads, fads and super pills that promise to be THE solution. We know that it’s absolutely overwhelming at times!

Maybe you’re even thinking that about The Lifetime Metabolic Program which we share about in this blog! In your head you may be thinking “Here we go again!” If so, we totally understand. Over the years we, too, have been bombarded with what everyone else thought all of our patients needed. But, we never found a true solution until being introduced to this program. We’ll get to why this is in just a minute!

The point with this frustration is that there are so darn many potions, prescriptions and programs out there that the typical person usually does one of two things:

You need to know that if you’re feeling frustrated in your attempt (or for many people numerous attempts) to lose fat … YOU’RE NOT ALONE!

Exactly how many people struggle with this is hard to clearly identify, but let’s share a few very interesting numbers:

• In a January 2013 USA Today article it stated: On average about 20% of people said they were on a diet during any given period of time. Well, if there are 319 Million people in America, then 20% of that is like 64 million people … at any given time!
• A 2012 ABC News 20/20 reported a number even higher stating that 108 Million people were on diets in America.
• In her book “The Bodywise Woman”, Judy Mahle Lutter claimed 50% of women are on a diet at any given time.

So, while the EXACT number is difficult to track down, one thing is clear: It’s a BUNCH! 10’s and 10’s of millions at any given time.

Of course, that’s probably not real surprising when one looks at the high rates of overweight and obesity in America. We are not going to share those numbers in this blog. We’ve done it before, and you have probably seen those. And, frankly, this piece is not written for all those other people... It’s for YOU!
