Consistency, not trying to do it all at once, is what creates long-term results.
Behavioral research shows:
• Changing one habit at a time has about an 80 % success rate
• If you try to change two habits at once, that rate drops to about 40 %
• When trying to change three or more, the success rate is almost zero
Most diets ask women to change ten things at once. So even if looks good on paper, it won’ t work for long if it requires you to overhaul your whole life. If something only works when your entire life is centered around it, does it truly work?
The reality is, if it doesn’ t work when life gets busy, it simply isn’ t sustainable.
Sustainable change comes from taking small, manageable steps that add up over time.
• Drinking more water
• Increasing protein
• Adding a serving of vegetables
• Walking a little more
Focus on building one simple habit until it becomes automatic, then stacking the next one on top. And before long, your lifestyle is healthier without feeling like you’ re following a plan at all. Simply because your habits are part of your everyday life.
