In the fight for long term weight loss the majority of dieters fail, and fail miserably. The simple reason for this is because they fail to put into place the 3 most important pillars for permanent weight loss.

Now, everyone looking to lose weight focuses on the first pillar - nutrition. The majority will also build the second pillar - exercise. The third pillar, however, is the most important. It is the foundation pillar that almost everyone neglects, and which, as a consequence, causes failure. This pillar is mind-set.

Let's not go ahead and look at these 3 pillars in turn.

Pillar 1 - Nutrition

You know that without proper nutrition you will not be able to lose weight. Its as simple as that. However its not as simple, as you may have heard, as a calorie in verses a calorie out. Weight loss nutrition really comes down to health and sustainability. If you are looking for some magic diet you're not going to be in business for long. A healthy diet leads to a healthy system, and you cannot have successful long term weight loss without a healthy internal system. Simple as that.

Pillar 2 - Exercise

Now, you can see great weight loss results without exercise in the short term, but in the long term... perhaps not. Exercise provides all sorts of benefits, not least in helping to develop that healthy system that I just mentioned. More than this, exercise helps with all sorts of things like hormone control and manipulation as well as metabolism. These are crucial elements to understand for long term weight loss.

Pillar 3 - Mind-Set

In reality, the two above pillars will crumble and fall to the ground eventually unless this third pillar is in place. Why? Well, simply because unless you have the right subconscious mind-set, you'll never stick with the right nutrition or exercise plan for long. Now, when I say mind-set, I'm not simply talking about what you think consciously about weight loss, but how you are subconsciously programmed. This is what will determine the direction you life takes.

Unfortunately, very few people look at mind-set as being important. They simply do not get that its this subconscious driving force that will really determine whether or not you are able to actually maintain any weight loss progress for long.

Each of these pillars are crucial. Its like a structure built on 3 supports. If one support is destroyed, the structure will collapse. So focus on each in turn, but first always, always make sure that you understand the importance of mind-set as a priority.
