Weight loss is among the most straightforward things we can do. Start eating less, increase your physical activity, and you will shed kilos.

So why do people struggle to lose weight so much? Why do most people start dieting, make some progress, then give up, and go back to square one?

We are not fans of cookie-cutter approaches to fitness because such are designed to work on average.

But here is the thing:

You are an individual, and even if something works for a hundred or a thousand people, it doesn’t mean it will work for you.

What’s the first thing we have to do before building a structure? That’s right: lay down a solid foundation. Without one, even the most beautiful building will shift to one side or crumble.

Strength is similar in many ways. People often focus on their strength outcome (the building) but ignore the foundation they are building it on.
