Hey guys, welcome back. Happy Friday. So today we are going to talk about consistency. I could ask all the time if I could say like what is the number one thing you need to focus on when you're dieting? What would it be? And honestly, as simple as it sounds, it is consistency. It is everything.

to be consistent and adherent to a calorie deficit. So yes, we all want to lose late

yesterday. We want to start a diet tomorrow. But the fact of the matter is it may not be a good

time for you to diet. So me for example dieting through the

summer usually I'm not in a deficit in the summer but when I diet like right now I've been on a cut
