There is an excess of advice on how to lose fat. However, the world keeps on getting fatter and fatter.

Unfortunately, I believe the main culprit here is an inability to control lasting behavior changes. After all, it's not knowing about diet and exercise, it's about knowing how to implement diet and exercise day in and day out.

So, here are 5 ways to stay on the fat loss bandwagon forever:

1. Have very specific goals: Undefined goals lead to undefined behavior. And the fastest way to get what you want is to know exactly what you want. So don't rely on vague weight loss motivators such as, "I want to increase my health."

2. Measure your progress: You don't have to have a complex system here. Simple waist measurements will suffice here. Just make sure you track something reliable that way you can assess whether or not your program is working and you can stay motivated.

3. Make your goal very big: Big thinking leads to big action. A small goal will lead to small motivation, but a big goal will lead to massive motivation. So dream, just like you used to when you were a child. Having a big goal is the best gift you can give yourself.

4. Use a carrot, not a whip: Don't take action to avoid the negatives of not doing. Instead, move forward towards a fat juicy carrot. In other words, don't try to get in shape because you want to avoid disease. Get in shape because you want to obtain a healthy body.

5. Have a time limit: Without a time limit, your dreams will remain just that, dreams. Deadlines are extremely effective because they force you to focus on the most important elements. Moreover, a deadline will prevent the dreaded feeling of never-ending effort.

The psychology of weight loss is more important than knowing how to eat or how to exercise. After all, its motivation that usually fades as time goes by. So make sure that you act on this information as soon as possible.
