You ARE in Control…Aren’t You?
A while back I talked to you about your body type. We talked about how there’s three different kinds, there’s the ectomorph, the endomorph, and the mesomorph.
Today we talking about personal responsibility despite your metabolic type or your body type. Your metabolic type basically refers to the biological processes that happen inside of you.
The first question you need to answer is, “Are you carb tolerant or carb intolerant and to what degree?”
Your honest answer to those two questions should greatly influence how you train and how you eat. This knowledge bomb coupled with your somatic body type will help you discover how and why your body does what it does in regards to weight loss.
That being said, regardless of your body type and regardless of your metabolic type YOU CAN TRANSFORM your body with proper nutrition and training coupled with healthy lifestyle choices.
What science has taught us, is despite your body type, what you do, and what you surround yourself with (your environment) play a much bigger role in how you look.
The second question you need to answer is, “What happens when you stop training?” Do you retain muscle? Do you lose it quickly? Do you kind of just stay the same or do you get a whole bunch of body fat? Those questions will help you discover what your true metabolic type is.
Once again, a reminder, this isn’t to give you an excuse. It’s to help you educate yourself. At the end of the day…ultimately what you look like is under your control.
Now, given what you know about yourself, you can customize your diet, your lifestyle and your nutrition to get you from point A to point B. You can personalize your goals, your calories, your protein, the amount of carbs, fats, or even how many meals you have in a day, how many times you train a week, how long you train for, Etc. The point is there’s tons of things that you can customize for just you.
Now here’s the hard part!
You need to accept responsibility for what you look like and your results.
The number one reasons you and I have excess body fat has more to do with our attitudes, our lifestyle, and our behaviors more than anything else.
That is a hard truth to swallow. The truth of the matter is there’s way more things that we can control than we can’t. We can control how much we eat, what we eat, when we eat, what type of exercise we do, how frequently we choose to exercise, how long we choose to exercise, how hard we choose to exercise, etc…
Now, the good news is you’re also a hundred percent in control of TRANSFORMING YOURSELF :-). You can change your lifestyle, your nutrition, and your training. The only one separating yourself from having the outstanding body you’ve always dreamed of is you.
Does that mean it’s going to be easy?
No, it means you’re going to have to work and want this ALOT! You need to want it more than going out with friends and family to eat and drink too much. You’re going to need it want it more than those late-night cravings of ice cream and cookies. You’re going to need to want it more than sitting and binge watching Netflix, instead going to the gym. The point is, your destiny is in your hands! It’s up to you to choose to act and take responsibility! 🙂
Go be awesome.
