Most people set weight loss goals in unrealistically short timeframes, chasing the quick fixes promised by diet ads. Becoming a bodybuilder takes years, not months. If you want lasting results, you need to think long-term.

You think about weight loss in artificially short term timeframes because you've been exposed to millions of diet ads in your life that are always focusing on how fast you can lose the weight. But to prove to you just how short these timeframes are compared to reality, imagine for a moment that you decided you wanted to become a bodybuilder. Notice how right away your timeframe is a lot longer. There's no way you'd be expecting to see massive results in a month or two months. It's a long term process and so that's how you have to start thinking about your weight loss. Get out of this short term trap so that you can start getting yourself the long term results that you truly want.
