Sustainability...again

I know I've posted this before but it is very dear to my heart.

I have been thinking about this a lot over the weekend, so much so I decided to write a post about it. Sustainability - in other words is your lifestyle, exercise and diet regime sustainable? I think so, as for me The Belly Blitz lets you do more or less whatever you want, doesn't exclude any food groups and is tailored to your body and your timescales.  I don't feel guilty if I have a glass of wine or a bar of chocolate, I am only human and I want to enjoy life without the guilt trips. It is all about balance as I have said so many times.

The reason I have been thinking this is a variety of people I know are doing different things - no carbs, fat free, no alcohol Dr Bernstein etc all under one guise or another. But is it really sustainable? Can you see yourself for the rest of your life NEVER having a carb again? Or forever eating fat free and never having that apple pie and ice cream? I  know I can't, and many of these regimes are great, you see results then as soon as you get to where you want to be and start being "normal" again, the weight or the body fat starts creeping up again as your body adjusts back to what normal is. Or is it costing you the earth? Losing weight is not a quick fix or going to happen over night. It IS hard work, it WILL take weeks or months, but it WILL happen.

So I ask again, is your current regime sustainable? If so then FANTASTIC, you have found that balance and can look forward to a healthy and active life, not restricting yourself in terms of food and drink. If not....then maybe it is something to think about. You are more likely to succeed in the long term if what you are doing is easy, doable and fits into a "normal" life.

Happy Blitzing!
