Are you one of those people who’s constantly searching for the ‘best’ diet to follow?

If so, I don’t blame you.

We all want to eat better so we can feel better, perform better, and look better.

But guess what? There is no universally perfect diet.

It doesn’t exist.

If it did, everyone would be following it.

Feel better now? A bit relieved? Now you can stop stressing about which diet to follow.

You probably know people who’ve had success, and likely short-term success, with different diets.

You might have a relative who tried keto and lost 40 pounds in 8 months, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be the best fit for you. It also doesn’t mean keto is superior to all other diets.

Maybe you know a co-worker who tried intermittent fasting and lost 25 pounds and got ripped, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be the best fit for you. It also doesn’t mean intermittent fasting is superior to all other diets.

You might have a friend who tried paleo, got leaner by the week, and now looks amazing, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be the best fit for you. It also doesn’t mean paleo is superior to all other diets.

Keto might work great for one person who prefers foods that are higher in fat and isn’t exercising at a high level of intensity, but it might not work so well for someone who is very active, training hard, needs carbohydrates for fuel and recovery, and loves rice, pasta, oats, and bread.

Intermittent fasting might work great for someone based on their schedule and meal size preferences, but it might not work for someone who rather eat more frequently throughout the day and has plenty of time to cook many meals.

Paleo might work great one person who loves all the foods that it includes, and has no problem not eating the foods that should be avoided with paleo. Another person might love pasta and bread (yes, you can get lean while eating pasta and bread), so paleo probably wouldn’t be a good fit for them.

Most importantly, did these people actually keep the weight off?

All of these different ways of eating have the potential to bring results and get rid of unwanted body fat.

When it comes to weight loss, all diets do the same thing—they make consistently eating less calories less challenging, which makes losing weight easier.

There are other factors involved when it comes to weight loss, but the primary driver of fat loss is proper nutrition, and consistently being in an energy deficit.

Most importantly, you have to make some changes within yourself and the way you live your life to see the results you want.

The people that lose weight on a specific diet and actually keep the weight off for good, which is the hardest part, don’t just rely on motivation and willpower to push their way through to the end. The people that do this often gain the weight back, and more.

For the people that achieve their weight loss goals, the diet is not responsible for their success.

Yes, certain features of certain diets might fit a persons schedule, preferences, and lifestyle more than others, but that’s just a small part of it.

The reason they lost the weight and kept it off for good had more to do with the transformation they made during the process. When I say transformation, I don’t mean physically.

The people that have the most success with losing weight and keeping it off do things differently than those who fail.

Here’s what you need to do if you want to be one of the few people who pull off an awesome weight loss transformation. And not just pull it off once, but keep the weight off and have more control over your body.

Since motivation, discipline, and willpower will only take you so far, you need to make lifestyle changes and develop identity-based habits and routines that support your long-term goals and the person you’re trying to become.

Change your mindset and mentality about food, yourself, and the way you want to live your life.

You need to get clear on what you want, why you want it, and what you value in life. Then align your actions with your values.

Modify your environment and your surroundings so moving more, eating better, and sleeping more and better are more likely to happen. You’re more likely to make healthier choices if you’re surrounded by high-quality, nutrient-dense foods. And not just food, but supportive people as well.

Find a way of eating that works for your schedule, fits your lifestyle, and meets your preferences. For some this may mean being creative in the kitchen, having lots of variety, and always trying new foods to have more foods to choose from. For others this may mean meal prepping in bulk and eating very similar foods or even the same meals multiple times a day and multiple days a week. For people constantly on the go, this could mean finding ways to get quick meals and snacks in, some that don’t require refrigeration, and some that don’t require cooking or minimal preparation.

As a coach, these are the steps I take when I bring on a new client who’s been struggling to lose weight. When you have these steps down, you’re now in a great position to start losing weight, transforming your body, and living a better life. Fat loss will come easier, the process will be more enjoyable, and you’ll create lasting change.

Remember, all diets work for the same reasons. You don’t need another new diet to try out that has some name to it, making it sound something special. Your diet doesn’t need a label. It doesn’t need to completely eliminate certain foods or restrict you from eating at certain times of day. There’s no secrets.

Start TODAY. Start making some changes that’ll get you going in the right direction. Change is uncomfortable, but it’s probably just what you need.
