Thank you everyone for giving this thing a chance! Now that you've had a chance to kinda see how the platform works, it's time to really make some progress.
I'm putting together a list of habits to choose from that will be the avenue in which we all reach our goals.
The idea is that you pick a handful of habits, maybe start with 1-2, and stick with it for a month or so until it becomes consistent, part of the routine, and effortless; something that just happens in the background and is a part of your life.
Once you got them down, pick one more habit while maintaining the others.
The byproduct of doing this is achieving all the main goals we have of weight loss, muscle gain, consistency, etc.
Eventually I will create guides for all of them! Along with the daily accountability tab, you'll be able to make some changes in your life you'll actually be able to stick to and finally achieve those goals.
While I don't have the official list of daily habits compiled yet, here's a rough draft of the list so far. Go ahead and pick a few (please not all of them!) to implement this week:
Track calories
Reduce processed foods
Eat at home instead of eating out
Reduce sugars
Increase fiber
5 servings fruits and/or vegetables
Reduce calories from drinks, drink more water
Be more active throughout the day, like a walking step goal
Exercise/strength train
Do activities you like more often
Prioritize protein each meal
Reduce fats
No oils or butter
Don’t snack
Eat without distraction
Change environment (convenience of nutritious food, low stress, plan ahead, avoid triggers)
Regular eating schedule
Restrict your eating window
Weigh yourself
Sleep enough (consistent schedule, limit caffeine, screen time, room dark, cool, quiet)
Control portions
Reduce stress
Don't eat just because you're bored (ask yourself if you're actually hungry)
Stop all or nothing mindset with food
Stop all or nothing mindset with exercise
Implement daily mobility/stretching
do low intensity steady state cardio (endurance)
do vigorous cardio (high intensity, speed)
Go ahead and post in the "general" tab which habits you're leaning towards and want to focus on first!
The full list along with tips for ALL of them will be coming soon.
Reminder to post your goals and obstacles in the "introductions" tab if you haven't already so I can get an idea of which habit guides to prioritize finishing first.
Let's have a great week!
