Mini Habits for Weight Loss: A Superior Approach for Health and Fitness

Change the Brain Before the Body

The brain must lead the body when it comes to change, because the brain determines your long-term behavioral trajectory. That’s why 10-30 day weight loss programs succeed in the short-term and fail in the long-term. We can force change for a limited period of time, but real and lasting change must be driven by habit.

Are You Triggering the Starvation Response?

Studies show that the body responds to long-term caloric deficits by becoming more food efficient, meaning it burns fewer calories with a lower metabolism. This makes weight loss more difficult, but it could save your life in a famine! That’s why we need to work with the body, and make changes at a pace that doesn’t trigger the starvation response.

Strategy Beats Brute Force

Just as the body resists dietary and caloric changes, the brain resists behavioral changes. The body will fight to maintain your current weight, whatever it may be. The harder you push, the harder it fights back. That is, unless you make changes in a subtle, nonthreatening way! Mini habits can slip through neurological and biological defenses!
