I have heard two different people talk about weight loss plans over the last 24 hours. Neither are terrible in theory but both probably won't work. Here's why.
The first "whale" (her term) I talked to invested in Advocare. For $120 she received product that she is hoping will jump start her into success. It might. But after a month of using a plan with structure, what will she do? The answer there will spell long term success or failure. And to be honest, that is if she makes it there.
The plan includes a lot of change for her. Most of it she does not like. Willpower may prevail, but research would say that she is doomed already. Hopefully she will make it through the month. If so, what has she learned moving forward. She won't have the guidelines and structure that Advocare. Will she have the tools to keep her success moving forward?
The second individual is ready for "Insanity Max 30". Each of those words creates concern. The title may short circuit any possible success. If you can do an insane, max level of intensity, can you last 30 minutes?
Again, there is structure in the program and the concepts and exercises might be valid. But will she find success? Would you or I? Cookie cutter programs do allow for modifications, but many times high intensity = non-adherence.
To find your health, listen to sound principles. Start with eat less (need to know your BMR) and move more, or at least one of the two. Don't be afraid to push yourself, but be honest about what you will continue to do.
