Do you want to know the truth about fad diets? They don’t work. In fact, they can actually be quite discouraging and even dangerous. If you’re looking for a way to lose weight and keep it off, then you need something different. DishQuo CEO and Founder Marcos Rojas share his beliefs around fad diets and his three tips that create long-term success.
Fad diets require short term pain, but have short term results that aren’t sustainable. The majority of people are unsuccessful when it comes to dieting. Rather when you see someone who’s achieved excellent health and fitness, there’s consistency of habit and behavior. Macros Rojas puts it like this;
“The right solution to eating well and becoming healthier will solve the problem once and transform your health for good. Most people dabble in and out of fad diets without lasting change. Consistency and a sustainable lifestyle is what we want to help you build at DishQuo. We do this by removing the heavy lifting for you and make it enjoyable with our meal planning app”.
Don’t let a healthy eating plan overwhelm you. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to create a healthy lifestyle that you enjoy when you start with reflecting on these 3 simple things. Aristotle said it well, ‘Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom’. Here are Marco’s three things to reflect on.
1. Clearly define your why.
What is your reason for wanting to change? Is it because you want to be a certain size or lift a certain amount of weight? That’s great, but you need something more to keep you going when you’re tired or busy. Maybe your reason for wanting to change is that you want more energy so you can keep up with your young kids. Or maybe your reason comes from a serious chronic health concern. Knowing why you choose fish and veggies over take-out helps keep you making healthy choices time and time again.
2. Understand what current habits block your progress.
Be aware of your limiting beliefs and habits. If you don’t know what’s stopping your process, how will you overcome it? Maybe an afternoon slump leads you to the vending machine at work. If this happens several times a week, you now know you can plan ahead by bringing a healthier alternative from home. Overcome limiting behaviors with small, manageable habits that you truly believe in and take consistent action.
3. Pick a new habit that fuses your why and helps overcome limiting habits.
To achieve a better quality of life, you need to blend your why with a new habit. For example, if you have a chronic health condition, your why might be to enjoy life with your family. That’s a strong motivator. A limiting habit that is stopping you from achieving this goal might be that you don’t plan ahead for healthy eating.
