Have you ever tried to open a drawer that has something stuck in it?
It happens to me all the time.
My long hair comb gets stuck in my bathroom drawer and no amount of brute force will get the drawer open. I can tug and pull on that drawer all day and it won’t budge. Either that or I will break the whole damn drawer.
Instead of brute force (or will power), I need to take a few seconds, find the problem – – ie the stuck hair comb, then WHALAAH ! The drawer opens effortlessly.

What the heck has this got to do with Fitness and Fat loss, I hear you ask…
Good question.
I often tell my fat loss clients that they need to take a few minutes to find out the problems that are keeping them STUCK. They need to become the experts on themselves.
Then take that knowledge to work WITH their natural preferences instead of using brute force (or will power) trying to battle against them.

Here is a random list of THINGS I KNOW ABOUT ME.
(in regards to health and fitness)
1. If I don’t workout before 10.30am, it simply won’t happen. No matter how much I kid myself that I will do it later
——————–
2. I am REALLY hungry in the morning. If I don’t plan for this, I will end up eating everything in sight
——————–
3. I am not very hungry at night. If I plan a large dinner it is just a waste.
——————–
4. An open packet of crunchy potato chips will soon turn into an empty packet of chips (sweets on the other hand are pretty safe with me)
——————–
5. I don’t get full from drinking my food – ie shakes, smoothies etc. So I never plan in protein shakes.
——————–
6. I train with much more intensity when I train with other people. The more, the better.
——————–
7. One glass of alcohol is never going to end up being the only one.
——————–
8. I am not good with being hungry. I am MUCH better having a good substantial meal, than trying to snack to “hold me over”
———————
9. On the other hand I have learnt in recent years that some hunger has its advantages. A meal tastes So much better when I can wait til I am truly hungry instead of eating by the clock.
———————
10. I very rarely workout in my home. I have certain spots that I do certain types of workouts. Outside at the hill for cardio, In the gym downstairs for weights, at the gym upstairs for body weight cct.
