I didn't believe it myself at first. My friends can attest that I would get very excited about some new trick like IF or low to no carbs and this is finally what would make everything click.
"What about after you've succeeded?" They would ask.
Obviously I would just go back to the way things were before? I would think.
Needless to say I struggled mightily for years and years because of this. It wasn't until a visit to the dentist that was the final domino to fall in this long journey.
I hadn't been in a year and a half but everything was perfect- not a single complaint from them. I realized it's because I had truly engrained dental hygiene into my life. It only took 6 minutes of my life a day to save me a lot of pain. This is how I started approaching my fitness journey. What little things could I do each and every day of my life to get to where I need to go?
So I started adding back in foods and experimenting with different exercises to make my life and journey more enjoyable. Importantly I put slip ups into context. Even if I went 500 calories over one day what did that matter if I had 14 days in a row of a 100 calorie deficit, and I knew I could just as easily have 14 straight days following with the same dedication. That means a 2300 calorie deficit in that span of time.
The question isn't only could you do this for a long period of time, it's would you want to?
