DID YOU KNOW

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN TRY TOO HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT?
THAT’S RIGHT! YOU CAN TRY TOO HARD.

A great number of  women I’ve worked with over the years mentioned to me that weight loss was one of their main reasons for starting an exercise program, or “trying to get fitter”. Their initial goal was to lose a few kilos because of the way they felt about their look; or how the additional weight made them feel in their body. They wanted to lose weight, & they wanted results yesterday. A lot of the women who came to see me were trying too hard.
I know that not every woman is concerned about weight loss & this article isn’t generalising about the reasons of all women who begin exercise, & whose body changes as a result.

This article is about the opposite. It’s about some aspects of the TV fitness industry & practically all of the diet industry that tells women they have to starve, or sweat, or train themselves into a coma to achieve a result.
