Now let's get into today's episode "Making weight loss & fitness simple" ..... 
Welcome to the Fitness Post Game Podcast I am your host Don Thomason today we are discussing how to make your weight loss and fitness journey much simpler and more consistent. I have always wanted to lose weight, and become jacked! Although, every time I would try it seemed like the process was enslaving and I would give up. There are millions of hours of content on Youtube and other podcasts from people who have already made the change. These creators and experts forget how long and hard the process is and want to just confuse us with terms and techniques. I needed more than a science lesson, I needed someone to simplify the process so it would be easier to stay more consistent and change my lifestyle. Even the content that was more down to earth still did not seem too practical. So I chose to make every decision on how I approached my weight loss and fitness through the filter of my life. This started to make things seem much easier and less taxing on my mental wellbeing. Today on the podcast I want to walk you through the process I use to simplify three main areas of my journey; nutrition, my workouts, and progress tracking protocol. 
Nutrition: 
Starting with nutrition, I have tried many different diets in my years and none of them have stuck until I decided to choose one that fits three different criteria: 
1. Is it time-consuming?
 2. Do I like food? 
3. Will it curve my binge eating and cravings? 
After trying IIFYM, Counting Calories, and keto there was only one that fit the criteria for me and that is the ketogenic lifestyle. It allows me to eat while not tracking my calories, I love the foods I can eat, and I stay full with fewer cravings. It checks all the boxes and has allowed me to lose weight effortlessly. Thus helping me stay on track with fewer cheat days and temptations. 
Workouts: 
When it comes to workouts, this is where a person can get overwhelmed and very frustrated. Since I have simplified my workout process, I feel accomplished every workout. I also do not spend every waking moment in the gym. Some fitness professionals will make you feel this way if you let them. So let me take you through my process on how I choose my workouts. Hopefully, this will help you get in and out of the gym while still being efficient in your workout. 
1. Pick your workout schedule 
2. Pick the best type of exercise for you ( cardio, weightlifting, or both ) 
3. Then pick out the exercises you like and get started. 
Doing the type of exercise, that fits your schedule, and picking the exercise you love is the key to becoming consistent. 
Tracking Your Progress: 
Tracing once a week, tracking your weight too much can have your mood tied to the scale. Monday Morning: weight on the scale Monday Evening: Track your arms, legs, chest, and waist in inches. Record, and live your life... simple is better.
