Eric Roberts shares eleven tips for losing weight on a calorie deficit. The scale won't move for 4-6 weeks even if your body composition improves, motivation will fade so discipline matters more, and diet beats cardio. Quitting is the only real failure.
11 calorie deficit tips you need to know if you're gonna be successful with losing weight. Number 1, if your scale isn't going down but you notice your clothes fit different, do not get discouraged. This means you're losing fat and building muscle at the same time. Number 2, you're gonna have days and weeks when you are perfect on your diet and your scale still doesn't go down, and that's normal. And number 3, you're gonna have days and weeks where you're not perfect and your scale goes up, but just like you don't get skinny in 1 or 2 days, you don't get fat in 1 or 2 days. It's just water weight. Number 4, you're not gonna notice a difference in your body until at least the 4 to 6 week mark, so do not quit before then. Number 5, you're never going to be able to out-cardio a bad diet. Number 6, you're not always going to be motivated, and that's okay because that's where you will use your discipline. Number 7, do not compare your weight loss to anybody else's. This is your journey. Number 8, the only way you fail is if you quit altogether. Number 9, remember, something is better than nothing. You do not have to be perfect. Number 10, it's gonna take longer than you want, but you'd rather it take longer than you want than not see progress at all. So keep going.
