Mini habits are “incredibly small” things you do every day
Mini habits are the trump card to ensure continuity
Success is simply doing the right thing in the right way at the right time. ——American columnist Arnold H. Glasow
The Mini Habits strategy is different from 99.9% of motivational self-help strategies in that it emphasizes continuity above all else.
A change in behavior will always trump a change in weight.
The real secret to success is continuous action. Consistency creates habits, brings results, and motivates you to keep trying.
It’s easy for us to fall into bad habits because they reward us so much and they’re so easy to do. It’s hard for us to develop good habits because good habits don’t reward us immediately, and we turn good habits into things that are difficult to do. The logical thing to do is to make bad habits harder and good habits easier.
The "Latest Food-Free Diet™" short-term weight loss method is useless. We mistake diet structure as the problem to be solved, making what is originally a very simple truth - eat real, healthy food to lose weight - become too complicated. We have hundreds of diet lists for losing weight, many of which also encourage people to eat basic, correct foods, but all of these diet lists have one common problem - the wrong diet and weight loss strategies.
What are mini habits
The best way to succeed with mini habits is to see if you can still do these things when you are at your worst.
●Do 1 push-up every day ●Read two pages a day ●Clean the room (or a certain area of the room) for 1 minute every day ●Press 1 key (or pluck 1 string) or play 1 song every day ●Stretch one part of your body every day ●Eat 1 serving of fresh vegetables every day ●Floss one tooth every day Mini habits may seem useless because subconsciously we say, “But I can do so much more than that.
Your perspective on things has the power to make difficult tasks easier, or simple tasks difficult. The mini habit strategy will gradually change your relationship with your behavior by giving you new expectations for things.
You can set simple, achievable mini-habit goals every day to develop habits that can have a huge impact on your life. How to turn healthy behaviors that are not habits into the simplest and easiest choices.
Changing behavior is the lever for weight loss, so to measure whether you have successfully lost weight, you need to first measure whether you have successfully changed behavior - to successfully lose weight, you must transform yourself from head to toe into a light-weight person.
Small but continuous progress can always bring unexpectedly good results
Part One: Weight Loss Knowledge
The first part explains about weight loss
It’s not that people can’t see the solution, they can’t see the problem. ——British writer Gilbert K. Chesterton
The really important factors are satiety, satisfaction, micronutrients and phytonutrients.
Includes popular weight loss methods, why these methods don't work, how the brain and body naturally change, what the weight loss mechanism is, and what are the best weight loss methods.
Dieting and Detoxification Fruit Juices Can Effectively Gain Weight
Rat weight loss experiment: Yo-yo dieting changes the metabolism of rats
The first round of 131 grams took 21 days
Weight gain recovery in 29 days
Second round of slimming down in 46 days
Weight gain 10 days recovery
Conclusion: Repeated weight gain and loss improves the rat's utilization of food. The rat's body becomes more greedy for the energy it consumes and stores as much energy as fat as possible.
Dieting makes us fat
I know this from my own experience. After going on a diet last year and then returning to a normal diet, I gained 5 kilograms.
The three-year study surveyed approximately 15,000 children aged 9 to 14
More than 4,000 pairs of Finnish twins were observed for 25 years
After losing weight several times, their weight regained even more
A six-year follow-up study of 14 winning contestants after participating in diet training
Only one person did not regain weight, while the others all gained weight and their metabolic rates became extremely low.
When an animal is in a semi-starved state, its metabolic rate will decrease, hunger will increase, and the body will store as much fat as possible. This is scientifically based
Conclusion: The real cost of short-term weight loss is not wasted time, wasted effort, and temporary suffering, but all of that plus weight gain. Controlling calories lowers your metabolic rate, making it easier for your body to store fat.
With the right strategies to compensate, both the body and brain have sufficient ability to heal themselves.
Why dieting is ineffective because the diet structure is too unreasonable. Focus only on short-term results.
●After blood is lost, the body produces more white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets until the numbers of these cells return to normal levels. ●The more you exercise (consuming energy), the hungrier your body feels (absorbing energy). ●When you starve yourself, hormones in your body make you feel hungrier until you start eating, so you're more likely to eat more. ●After losing weight quickly through dieting, the body will burn fewer calories in a calm state (food utilization). ●When food is converted into fat, fat cells release leptin, making you feel full.
Energy can be converted between different forms, but its total value remains the same.
Obesity is an inflammatory disease
Ingestion of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid, has the strongest impact on weight loss
Fruit is indeed likely to cause weight loss, because many characteristics of fruit can help lose weight, and different diets will have different effects on weight.
Healthy foods that are good for weight loss do not include low-fat flavored yogurt, organic granola bars, all sugar-free foods, organic tortilla chips, organic candy, low-calorie foods, 100% natural juices, organic or conventionally processed foods, and basically anything with added sugar. food
Plant leaves contain compounds such as chlorophyll and various antioxidants, which keep plants healthy and full of vitality.
A stronger feeling of fullness
●Water (one of the most underestimated weight loss tools, will be discussed in detail later) ●All fruits ●(almost) all vegetables ●Plant seeds, beans, nuts ●Fish (not fried)
Drinking water is good for your health in the short and long term and helps with weight management
Green tea is also an excellent slimming drink. Green tea contains unique antioxidant ingredients that help burn visceral fat.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, unprocessed meats and yogurt
Good protein powder helps convert weight from fat to muscle
Exercise can reduce emotional eating, lower cortisol levels, improve sleep and relieve stress
Exercise is not to burn calories, but to promote metabolism, fight inflammation, and improve circulation.
Losing fat is better than losing weight
Fermented foods can bring probiotics to the gut
Part Two: Weight Loss Strategies
The second part proposes various strategies based on the conclusions of the first part.
8 sacred rules for losing weight through mini habits
1. Not dieting 2. Do not limit unhealthy foods or deprive yourself of satisfaction After the body is accustomed to a certain way of eating, if you try to forcefully change it, there is a 95% chance that it will fail (this is the dieting failure rate based on some scientific research). 3. Don’t feel ashamed 4. Be a captain, not a sailor 5. Never stop negotiating and strategizing with yourself ◆ Summary of mini habit weight loss strategies If you want to be successful, you must complete predetermined mini habits every day. 1. Imagine how easy it is to do these little things and give yourself a picture. 2. Don’t compare your goals to other tasks. 3. Be grateful for any level of progress. 4. Regardless of the surrounding environment, progress rarely depends on the right time and place. 5. Never underestimate the short- and long-term impact that one small, right decision can have on your life.
Extremely low requirements and extremely high ceilings are the best solution for you to stick to action and have unlimited room for improvement.
Only when we have a thorough understanding of a problem can we find simple, real, and effective solutions. Losing weight starts with little things! "The Mini Habits Weight Loss Strategy is based on extensive and in-depth research and analysis.
Strategy: Develop mini habits and over-complete tasks (add tasks according to the situation to experience a sense of accomplishment)
Mini habits are the basis of our weight loss strategy
Overachieving gives you room for flexibility
Mini habits allow you to change your exercise and eating habits at the same time
Upgrade excess tasks: double or triple upgrades, no cap.
It takes an average of 66 days to form a habit
The time required varies from person to person, ranging from 18 to 254 days.
First, the brain changes very slowly, but the exact speed is difficult to predict
Second, it is extremely likely that a new behavior will not become a habit within 30 days
The difficulty of a behavior has a huge impact on how quickly a habit is formed
It only takes about 22 days to develop the habit of drinking a glass of water every morning, but it takes much longer than 22 days to develop the habit of standing on your head for two hours after dinner every day.
The first thing we need to look at is the ideal mentality of losing weight. How should we view weight loss as a whole? How to treat food and health? After discussing these issues in depth, you will not only have an understanding of the best ways to lose weight, but you will also have a clearer understanding of the best thinking patterns for losing weight.
A better approach would be to change the way people make choices.
People have been unable to change their behavior.
The problem with the weight-loss industry as a whole is not with diet plans, but with dieting as a method of losing weight.
Consistency is not only the key to behavior change, it is evidence of behavior change.
The relationship between mini habits and weight loss
Mini habits can help you form a set of powerful, powerful habits that will lay the foundation for your future healthy life.
The power of compounding: silent but powerful
Focus on making small choices compound in the right direction
Don’t use the implementation strategies recommended by others in the past, but develop your own mini habit plan
But the length of human life is almost 28,000 days. What does a 30-day change count?
The subconscious mind directly controls half of your behavior and continues to influence various decisions you make consciously.
Willpower is like a muscle, it tires from overuse and gets stronger with training.
“Effort level, perceived difficulty, negative emotions, subjective fatigue, and blood sugar levels have a great impact on self-depletion of willpower.”
Willpower reserve (error, cannot reserve)
Mini habits maximize the success rate. Mini habits are a very small "forced action"
Losing weight can be successful, all you need is small habits, smart strategies, and a little bit of willpower.
The subconscious mind controls about 45% of our behavior in the form of habits.
The amount of fat in the body is controlled by the central nervous system.
body needs balance
What is the nature of the brain?
The brain needs many repetitions to form a habit, which is a good thing. The ideal process of changing your brain is slow and gradual, so slow that you may not notice the change.
Only 8% of people complete their New Year's resolutions each year.
The method used does not adapt to the characteristics of the brain
Different people have different situations, so the success rate can be deceptive
Motivation is good for us, I'm just saying that motivation is not a sufficient basis for changing behavior. The foundation must be solid and reliable, and the power is not reliable enough.
The goal of the strategies introduced in "Small Habits: Weight Loss" is to protect your sense of freedom on both a conscious and subconscious level.
The best strategies for achieving dramatic change are ones that adapt to your needs, while the worst strategies are ones that force you to persevere and obey orders.
You need a strategy that works with your subconscious so that the changes can be integrated into your life as seamlessly as possible.
Golden sentence
Didn’t Einstein also say that people do the same thing over and over again and expect different results?
“A sure way to get people to believe a lie is to repeat it over and over again, because people have a hard time distinguishing between familiarity and truth.
Once a theory is deeply rooted in people's minds to a certain extent, people will take it for granted that it is the truth, and no amount of reasonable objections can completely overturn it.
The truth is, success and good habits inspire desire, not the other way around.
No one is always motivated to do the right thing. If you wait until you are motivated to take action, you will get into trouble.
Everything should be as simple as possible, but not too simple. --Albert Einstein
Valuable change must be lasting and stable. ——Tony Robbins, American best-selling author
People ultimately make their own decisions. With the Mini Habits Strategy, you’re in control from the start
Key takeaway: Identity-based decisions empower intrinsic, long-term goals (like the many goals you set when trying to lose weight); following baseless “can’t” rules disempowers you and brings out your rebellious side.
The best strategies for setting goals require not only protecting a sense of autonomy, but also strengthening it. It is not easy to do this, because autonomy has two levels, the conscious level and the subconscious level.
The conscious mind can win in the short term, the subconscious mind will win in the long term.
Through training, subconscious and conscious preferences are aligned.
To successfully form a habit or break an existing habit, some kind of change must be made consistently over a period of time.
Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In this space, we have the power to choose our responses. And our responses reflect our growth and freedom. ——Austrian neuroscientist Viktor Frankl
For food and life, the more you directly suppress your desires, the stronger the desires will be.
Never underestimate the power of habits to change preferences.
Using habits to change preferences is much easier and more effective
We must regard exercise as something interesting and a game, otherwise we will subconsciously resist exercise. ——Canadian actor Alan Thicke
Those who never give up will eventually succeed. All success stories include the necessary condition of "perseverance". Even if you are successful at completing Mini Habits every day, it all comes together with the resilience to never give up.
