Almost every new client comes to us with the
desire to lose fat – for a variety of reasons. The most prevailing reason that
we hear is that they want to look more fit and attractive as a result of the
fat loss.
Maybe losing fat in order to look better is a
strong enough motivator for you, but we’ve found that most people need
something more compelling. Our experience with helping our clients achieve
their fat loss goals has really opened our eyes to exactly what they gain when
they lose the extra weight.
Our hope is that by reading the 5 Big Benefits of
Fat Loss below, you’ll feel the driving motivation that you need to jump into
fitness with both feet, and that you’ll find out just how amazing and capable
you’ve been to achieve your goal all along.
Big Benefit #1: Confidence
You may not consider it a concrete benefit, but
that doesn’t stop confidence from being one of the most important perks of
dropping fat. When you have increased confidence, you change how you view
yourself and go about your daily routine. The world is at your fingertips and
you are able to take on whatever it throws your way.
Additionally, when your confidence increases
after losing a few pounds, you’re poised to keep losing. So the confidence you
gain gives you what you need to lose more weight and feel even more confident.
Big Benefit #2: Money
It may be difficult to understand how losing
weight saves you money, but it happens. How? Because one of the best ways to
trim pounds is to cut down on the amount of calories you consume every day.
When you start eating and drinking fewer calories, that means you don’t have to
buy as much food or high-calorie drinks. Additionally, losing weight may make
it possible to stop taking certain medications, which will help save you even
more money.
On top of that, when you lose weight, you get a
boost of confidence. (See previous point.) That boost of confidence will change
how you handle yourself at work, helping you make the right impression on your
boss, so you can get the promotion you need.
Big Benefit #3: Better Health Now
Go to the doctor with some sort of health
condition, and unless it’s the common cold or flu, losing a few pounds can
almost always help you manage the condition better. From diabetes to heart
disease to joint pain, trimming the fat from your body gives you a heads up
right now. Cutting fat makes it easier to get around on your joints, reduces
your blood pressure, and helps you sleep better.
As additional perks, less fat today means better
sleep and better sex tonight. Since both of these improve your quality of life,
taking the time necessary to shave off fat will give you the best life you
could experience!
Big Benefit #4: Better Health Later
Today isn’t the only time your health will
improve if you lose some fat. Shed some pounds and you’ll reap the rewards for
years down the road. Instead of having to manage a variety of health
conditions, you will be able to keep those conditions at bay. A few health
issues you can cut your risk for by cutting fat are diabetes, heart disease,
joint pain, a variety of cancers, high blood pressure, and dementia. In other
words, get rid of the fat today and you can avoid all the health issues in the
future that requires fat loss for maximum management.
Big Benefit #5: Everything Tastes Better
As you settle into your new fat-burning lifestyle
that includes eating healthily and working out regularly, you’ll notice
something. Because you no longer overeat at the buffet or go for a second or
third helping, you will begin enjoying every bite that you take. As the bite
sits in your mouth, you won’t swallow it before tasting or chewing. You will
take your time and really savor the flavor.
And when you do start chewing your food and
enjoying the flavors, your brain will have time to register when you’re full
and cut you off before you stuff yourself with more calories than you can burn.
Do this regularly and you’ll lose even more fat!
We’ve dedicated ourselves to helping people, just
like you, conquer their fear of exercise and clear up their confusion with
healthy eating. We know that a healthy life is within your reach – we’ve seen
our clients before you do it, and we’ll see clients after you do it. Today it’s
your turn.

Are You Hungry?
When you find yourself reaching for a candy
bar—WAIT! Are you really even hungry? Or are you simply eating out of habit?
Next time you find yourself gravitating toward a junk food fix do a short burst
of physical activity instead. A dozen jumping jacks, 15 crunches, a walk around
the block… you get the idea! By the time your heart rate returns to normal you
will find that your craving has passed—and not only did you save yourself from
empty calories, you burned extra calories as well!
