You need to be smart and not use the apparent lack of change in your weight as an excuse to give up.
A part of you is looking for reasons to disqualify these strategies because these strategies mean change.
They require focus and investment of time and energy.
You have to tackle resistances and know EXACTLY what the objections to your success are.
Here we go:
One key mistake is to give up!
Yes! it's that simple!
NEVER, EVER give up on your resolutions to be at the best you can be!
Yes! Sometimes, you will have to slightly shift a strategy and adapt it to your situation but the key is to keep moving in the right direction, ALWAYS!
Put it this way:
Your body will be with you for the rest of your life (at least this incarnation ;)) so you better treat it right and do whatever it takes to be at your best.
The rewards are INFINITE!
The pleasure and delight you get from living in a healthy and strong body are priceless!

With weight loss strategies, you need to focus on long term targets, not short term.
A 3 months target is a good place to start:
What results can you realistically expect within 3 months if you put in place your new nutrition or training strategies?
By the way, if you prefer a 6 months or a year target for instance, it works as well... the key is LONG TERM target rather than short term.
You want to put in place life habits that you can easily maintain on the LONG TERM, not short term.
You might see close to no results for weeks at a time!
REALLY!
It can take a month or more for certain strategies to be really grounded in your life.
This means that results can take a while to kick in.

Weight loss - Combine nutrition + exercise strategies! - TIP
Okay!
This one is essential if you want to break through!
For weight loss to take place, you usually need to shift both, nutrition patterns + exercise patterns.
In other terms, you need to train more + eat healthier
Doing just one of these usually is not enough to see visible results on your scale.
In other terms, you need to train, burn calories or move your body in whatever way you want + eat less and healthier.
If you are applying some fresh nutrition strategies and see little weight loss results, your body IS enjoying the healthier food and this food is impacting POSITIVELY on your body... But you simply see no visible or measurable result yet.
That's the first essential fact to understand!
On the other hand if you are training hard for 3 months and see no weight loss result, it usually means that you still did not make the appropriate nutrition shifts.
You train harder, burn more calories, might eat bigger meals because you are simply more hungry when you come back from the gym.
The solution: shift a couple of essential nutrition patterns... You have a dozen key strategies you can choose from.
Be REAL!
To see results you need to tackle both sides:
EXERCISE + NUTRITION
If you work on only one of these, you will usually see little visible results on your weight loss targets

Weight loss - Visible weight loss is only one of the indications that a set of nutrition patterns is right for you - TIP
Here is what can happen...
You make some essential changes to your diet, ad fruit and vegetables, cut on fat and red meat, cook smaller meals and eat now healthy snacks between meals.
Imagine that your main target is weight loss.
You might take all these steps and see little change in your weight.
Why?
Because the changes you made are impacting on your health and energy level but not on your weight yet.
Visible weight loss is only one of the indications that a set of nutrition patterns is working for you.
The other indications are greater health + greater energy level.
The more subtle impacts are as well, more joy and happiness, less irritability, more personal power and confidence, etc...
The health and energy impacts are more subtle and tricky to measure.
You don't have a scale at home that measures your level of energy for instance.
The health benefits can be measured but are really long term.
After eating healthy for a year, you might realize that you haven't been sick in quite a while which means that your immune system was boosted by healthier eating habits.
So... If you shifted a couple of habits and still see no visible results, it does not mean that it's not working, it means that the results are more sublte and tricky to measure, that's all.
Believe me! Your instinct knows exactly what is healthy and what is not.
If you made key shifts to your diet and don't see direct weight loss, here is what you could be thinking:
"See!!!?? It does not work... Now give me back my potato chips + my pint of ice cream!"
Simple!
Don't use the lack of visible measurable results as an excuse to head back to the junk food section at your local supermarket ;)
