Remember, no one ever dropped a lot of body fat (and kept it off!) without perseverance, consistency and patience. The most successful fat loss protocols are those that you can live with and incorporate into your daily life. I tend to advise lower carbohydrate diets for most of my fat loss focused clients, but never something as unmanageable as the zero carbohydrate Atkins diet.
Due to the modern world in which we live we want instant gratification for all our efforts, but the human body can’t and won’t change overnight. A meagre 1lb of fat loss every week may not seem like much, after 4 weeks just 4lbs, but what about after 6 months?! 26lbs of fat loss is a great achievement, and even better when you have done it properly and at a pace that doesn’t shock your body into down regulating important hormones such as thyroid and leptin levels which are crucial for a healthy metabolism. Yes, I have and often do have clients drop considerably more body… fat than 1lb a week, if you want proof just ask Anne Strickland who lost 7kg (1 stone 1 pound!!) in just 2 weeks!! Or Amy Louise Jones who lost 5kg and more importantly 3.8% body fat in just 2 weeks!! Or Katy West, Louisa Crossley who has dropped a considerable amount of body fat, and many others who have reached their goals and are acheiving incredible results, such as Kelly Bailey Williams and Joanne Jones who performed 5 full pull-ups and 80kg squats!! or Carole Harding who is actually now enjoying her time spent at the squat rack (although she wont admit it). Remember, Rome was not built in a day, so surround yourself with a positive support network, train consistently, eat the correct foods at the correct times and providing your trainer knows what they are talking about, listen to them!!!
