Using the 21/90 Principle for Maximum Results

 

If you have ever struggled with maintaining weight loss or other goals - you need to understand the 21/90 Principle.    The 21/90 Principle states that it takes 21 days of committed daily action to change a habit and 90 days of committed daily action to create a lifestyle.

They key is daily committed action – that means EVERY day!    Commitment and consistency matter a lot.    You have to commit to an everyday plan for at least 21 days and preferably 90 days.   

This is an ideal way to start an exercise and nutrition program.   You commit to do some form of exercise every single day for a minimum of 20 minutes everyday come hell or high water.   This can be as simple as taking a 20-minute walk everyday (even if it is raining – have an indoor plan like treadmill walking or be prepared to wear a raincoat!)

On the nutrition front commit to one or more simple changes such as no fast food and no sodas or sugared beverages.    Less is more when you stick to it.

Write down your commitment and plan and share it with friends and family – you are much more likely to succeed in making a lifestyle change by taking these simple steps.
