What's the most important thing in weight / fat loss and body transformation?
Realizing that it's a long term process rather than a quick-fix. It's not going to take 2-3 weeks of hard work and dieting and then going back to your old habits. That's something everyone needs to realize and make clear for themselves before they even start.
It is a long term process that requires discipline. That's what most people don't have and it causes failure. So when you
make it clear right in the beginning, that you're doing it for yourself and you're willing to change, it'll be much easier. It needs to be a "must have" rather than "nice to have".
Which is more important - diet or exercise?
Nutrition and proper diet is the basis. Exercise supports the process but when it comes to fat loss, it's a waste of your time to exercise if you don't eat right. That will ruin the whole effort.
Quality food is also inevitable for keeping your body vital and strong, it's important for overall health and bodily functions and that's certainly what everybody strives for.
It's not just about diet and exercise, that would make it just another source of weight-loss tips out there. There are more options available! So discovering how time, temperature and natural body hormones work can save you a lot of time, energy and money. That's something we all find very precious nowadays and I wanted everyone to know that it's not about working hard, but working smart. That's Leverage.
When using your methods, how long is it going to take for the results to be visible?
It depends where you are in the following body fat percentage classification:
Essential Fat 10-12%
Athletes 14-20%
Fitness 21-24%
Acceptable 25-31%
Obese 32%+
Athletes 14-20%
Fitness 21-24%
Acceptable 25-31%
Obese 32%+
I started with 27% bodyfat and after 5 months was down to 22% and then continued losing about 1% every month.
1-1.5% a month is very healthy and sustainable strategy for everyone, you lose fat and gain muscles at the same time, your body becomes leaner, stronger and healthier every single month and just after 2-3 months people around you will notice some great changes.
An important thing to point out - for each pound of fat you lose, it becomes harder to lose the next pound due to lower leptin levels (as leptin levels are influenced by body fat levels). So as you get leaner, it will get harder, but keep going and don't give up, it's worth it!
How long does it usually take to get used to the new regime?
That's very individual and it depends on your ability to adjust but basically it is your motivation vs. your old habits. When new body and great health is a priority for you, nothing will stop you.
You'll probably have couple of mood swings in the beginning, especially when walking through the chocolate and candy aisle, but after 2-3 weeks and seeing those amazing results you won't go back to your old habits. That lifestyle is addictive and although you'll go through couple ups and downs along the way, it's a very enjoyable and sustainable strategy.
I'm so busy/fat/weak/desperate... , I'm not sure if I can do it.
It doesn't matter who you are... what gender you are, if you're employed, entrepreneur or work night shifts or travel all the time, carnivore or vegan, obese or super skinny, if you truly want to improve, you'll find a way. Period. Thousands have already done it successfully so stop looking for excuses and start looking for a way.
What are the biggest challenges I could expect?
It's always just a fight between the voices in your head. One tells you to obey the rules, another one says "it's just one cookie!"... one tells you to do 20 push-ups, another one says you're so shaky you probably won't do anymore. It always comes down to how the strong you is able to push the weak you away. Learn to be stubborn and push yourself harder every day.
To your transformation,
Jana
