Complexity is the enemy of execution.
In this article I am going to give you the biggest hack to help you get started on your health & fat loss expedition, as well as help you create consistency. It is actually pretty damn simple.
The biggest hack to you getting started?
Don’t overcomplicate it!
The biggest hack to you staying consistent?
Don’t overcomplicate it!
The biggest hack to remove overwhelm?
Don’t overcomplicate it!
I may get into a lot of trouble for saying this, but:
It is really not that complicated.
The concept of fat loss is simple.
The execution is difficult.
But why are you making it more difficult for yourself by overcomplicating it?
Here are the basics:
Eat in a calorie deficit.
Focus on the quality of your food.
Move more throughout the day.
Work on creating healthier habits.
Simple!
Not easy, that I know - I mean, I have being obese, lost 40 kg’s and maintained it - So I know just how difficult the execution can be.
Here’s what you need to stop doing:
Stop looking for the perfect fat loss foods.
Stop looking for the perfect macronutrient split.
Stop looking for the perfect meal timing.
Stop looking for the perfect pace to do your walks.
Stop looking for the optimal anything.
Optimal is individual based on what you can sustain for a long period of time.
People online overcomplicate it on purpose!
Purely because they want to make you believe that you can’t do it if you don’t have their perfect plan, perfect supplement, or perfect foods.
And why people struggle to do the basics is because:
The basics are so boring.
It can’t be as simple as eating more nutrient dense foods in a calorie controlled manner and making sure you move more.
Well, it is.
And the more you overcomplicate the basics, the tougher you are making the execution for yourself.
Remember this:
Progress beats perfection!

It really doesn’t have to be as complicated as coffee enemas, not eating after 16:23 in the afternoon, or walking at a pace of 8.156 km/h.
Do what you can, with what you have.
Didn’t hit 27.3739 grams of fats or carbs today?
Guess what?
Fat loss can still take place!
It doesn’t have to be sexy. It doesn’t have to be glamourous.
It just has to be done.
Can’t go for a planned walk?
Ok, but can you move around your office or apartment a bit more just to increase those steps slightly?
There is no perfect way.
There are no perfect foods.
There is no perfect time.
You are not a body builder. Less focus on the perfect macros. More focus on general execution.
