What's The Most Important Thing To Achieving Your Goals

I hear you all say, it depends on the goal, and you are right.

If your goal is weight loss then nutrition should be top of the agenda, followed by the right training.

If your goal is to build muscle then the training should take the front seat followed by a good nutrition plan.

If you are training for a particular sport then I believe, skills training comes first followed by strength and conditioning, then nutrition.

So with that being said, people who do this the right way sometimes don't reach their goals which is a shame and a lot of the time it has nothing to do with nutrition or training. It is normally down to them not being consistent with training and nutrition.

Having your training on point and rubbish nutrition it doesn't matter about the goal you will struggle and if your nutrition is on point but the training is rubbish you will also struggle.

So what does being consistent mean? this depends on who you talk to. Some people say you have to be on point training and nutrition 100% of the time. I personally think that is not realistic.

So lets look at nutrition, you have to have a good balance. I tell my clients 80% of clean healthy foods, good meat, eggs, fruit, salad, veg. The other 20% can be what people call treats (I call poison) cakes, alcohol, chocolate, fizzy drinks. If you can keep this ratio then this will help with cravings.

Now lets look at training, you don't need to spend hours everyday training to be consistent you just need to train right. So this depends on the goal but in general if you are training weights and cardio 3-4 times a week for 45 mins to 1 hour you will get results.

So I believe that consistency is the most important part of peoples goals because if your nutrition goes of track for a week but you are still training hard, you will find that you want to get your nutrition back on track asap. Same as if you don't get to the gym for a week or two but you keep your nutrition on point you will normally want to start training again, if they both go of track this is a different battle and harder to deal with so in this case find one to focus on then the other should follow. Try to be consistent with one or the other at all times.
