...And say, "OMG just move more and eat less. It's not that hard."
🤦♀️
And yes...they aren't wrong in that eating less and moving more is key...
But, honestly, no matter how SIMPLE you see the changes to be, saying that doesn't make them any easier for a person.
And honestly often the tone of "it's just this easy" holds someone else back from making a change because it doesn't FEEL that easy to them.
Simple and easy aren't the same thing. And dialing in those details and nuances can help us actually create something SUSTAINABLE for us.
So while we want to focus on those basic building blocks, we have to recognize that the structure will ultimately look different for each of us.
And not only that but things in our life change. How we have to implement those systems and what our bodies need, shifts.
If we focus too much on just the "big picture" we miss out on the specifics that can lead to better results faster. That can help us avoid pitfalls that might otherwise add up.
The simple basics are just the foundation. But no house, no HOME, is just its structure.
It's the details we even add inside that truly make it a home.
Start with 1-2 basic tweaks, but realize there will be more details you have to build in to make it right for you. Just make sure that foundation has been built first.
And if a friend is struggling, don't tell them it's just so simple and easy. Help them understand and embrace those basics while knowing that one size does NOT fit all and the details they add can make those general tweaks really work best for them!

Redefining Strength
Ok so most of us have heard of the KISS principle - Keep it simple stupid.
And it's a good one.
We often want to overcomplicate things.
HOWEVER, simple doesn't mean easy and it doesn't mean we can ignore the nuance and details in things.
Too often I'll have someone comment on a post with 3-4 SIMPLE tips - like a recent one for fat loss that said basically...
1. Increase protein.
2. Avoid big calorie deficits
3. Strength train
