Getting Back On My High Horse In Regard To Restrictive Practices.

As you have probably guessed by the title I am going to rant about how restrictive practices aren't the right way to go about achieving a long term positive outcome. The reason I get so passionate about this is I have learnt from my experiences. I have stopped positive outcomes in my life by restricting my actions. By not taking risks, by not questioning mainstream thinking. Just going with the mob and following the flow.

I am in the process of putting together a book about why fat loss and its associated thinking and practices need to lose their identity in the world of health and fitness. Because the mere sound of fat loss sparks thoughts of restriction and reduction. I was so happy to hear the thoughts of a high profile American nutritionist about how people should go about keeping their weight in check. Dr Chris Mohr was asked what are the three things he thinks are most important in keeping your weight in check. Here's his summary of what he said, "I never said cut your calories in half. I never said decrease your calories. I never said reduce your fat intake, reduce your carb intake or anything like that. The three things I said two of them were increase or eat more and one of was write down what you eat.

Hearing this from a high profile high flyer in the health and fitness world has given me great motivation to keep spreading the non-restrictive practices message and I hope it encourages you to stop restricting yourself and start taking actions that take you towards your outcomes. And more importantly don't believe and trust the first thing you hear because the person you heard it from is probably coming from a mindset of scarcity and not abundance.
