losing weight without exercise (exercise isn't a stick of dynamite)

One of the biggest con's that 'influencers' have ever pulled is:

CONVINCING PEOPLE THAT CALORIES CAN BE BURNED BY THE 1000'S WITH LITTLE MORE THAN A 30 MIN HIIT SESSION...

WELL, THEY CAN'T! SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE THOUGH DOESN'T IT!?

The problem with this (marketing) message, is that it gives people the wrong perspective on exercise and how it should be utilised for fat loss...

WHICH HAS RESULTED IN GENERATIONS OF PEOEPLE BEING CONVINCED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THEIR BODY IS TO...

EXERCISE TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION (AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE).

It also elevates exercise on the 'hierarchy of lifestyle needs'...

Meaning that people see it as the 'Holy Grail' when it comes to transforming their body/health...

Often to the detriment to the other lifestyle factors that really do need attention.

At Shapeshifters we've completed 1000's of consultations with people who want to transform their body, and the one thing I can tell you for certain is this:

MOST PEOPLE HAVE A LIFESTYLE PROBLEM (NOT AN EXERCISE PROBLEM!)

Which means, that before they start training, they need to address:

Or they'll find themselves frustrated and unable to reach their goals, resulting in yet another loss on their health kick record.

Here's an (explosive) analogy to help clarify the point:

IF TRANSFORMING YOUR BODY IS AN EXPLODED STICK OF DYNAMITE, EXERCISE ISN'T THE DYNAMITE (YOUR LIFESTYLE IS!), EXERCISE IS THE MATCH...THAT LIGHTS THE DYNAMITE!'

MEANING THAT YOU NEED 'JUST ENOUGH' (THINK GOLDILOCKS!) 'PROPER TRAINING' EACH WEEK, TO TRIGGER YOUR BODY INTO A STATE OF ADAPTATION...

AKA; fat loss and muscle building (toning) when other lifestyle factors have been addressed...

Instead of spending too much time in the gym trying to out-train a bad diet (using exercise as a punishment, for crimes against calories).

THE TRUTH IS; IT'S YOUR LIFESTYLE THAT DICTATES YOUR BODYFAT LEVELS...

WHEREAS 'PROPER TRAINING' DICTATES HOW HAPPY YOU ARE WITH 'WHAT'S LEFT'...ONCE ALL THE BODY FAT HAS COME OFF!

So the next time you hear about a '30 minute fat loss work out that burns a 1000 calories' remember this...

If something sounds to good to be true, then it usually is! Especially in the 'fitness sphere'.

So there you have it! You now know about 'Losing Weight Without Exercise' and why 'Exercise Isn't A Stick Of Dynamite' I hope you found it useful...
