Catch up with Coach M - Edition 65 - Lasting Results

🏋️ Why Do Most People Never Reach Their Fitness Goals or just their Goals in general?

Welcome to this weeks Edition of Catchup with Coach M - in the last 125 Blogs this has been my message and today again that is why I am here. Speaking the simple truth. How to get Lasting Results in what ever you do.

🚫 The Real Problem Isn’t Knowledge

Most people don’t fail at fitness because they don’t know what to do.

Information is everywhere now. You can find meal plans, workout programs, and fat loss strategies in seconds.

Yet most people still don’t change.

And the reason is simple:

They don’t struggle with knowledge. They struggle with behaviour.

Because fitness or goal any success is not an information problem.

It’s a consistency problem.

A discipline problem.

A “what you do when no one is watching” problem.

Most people:

• don’t stay consistent

• don’t follow a system long enough

• constantly restart instead of continuing

And every restart resets progress.

🧠 The 7 Types of People Who Stay Stuck

If you look closely, most people who struggle with fitness fall into a pattern. Not because they’re broken—but because they get trapped in the same thinking loops.

1. The Excuse Builder

“My genetics are bad. My schedule is too busy.”

This person always has a reason.

And sometimes the reasons sound valid.

But reality doesn’t change:

Some of the busiest, most stressed people in the world still train, still eat well, still show up.

The difference is not circumstances.

It’s response.

Because your circumstances don’t determine your outcome—your actions do.

2. The Information Collector

“I’ve watched everything… I just haven’t started yet.”

This is one of the most common traps today.

It feels productive to learn.

It feels like progress to research.

But information without action is just entertainment.

Nothing changes in the body until something changes in behaviour.

3. The Delayed Starter

“I’ll start Monday.”

Or next month. Or after holidays. Or after stress settles.

But life never clears up perfectly.

There is no ideal starting point.

Only repetition… or delay.

And delay quietly becomes years.

4. The All-or-Nothing Thinker

“I messed up my diet, so I quit.”

This mindset destroys more progress than any bad meal ever could.

Because the truth is simple:

One meal doesn’t matter.

One day doesn’t matter.

Quitting matters.

Progress is not built on perfection. It’s built on recovery.

The ability to get back on track quickly is what separates those who succeed from those who don’t.

5. The Chronic Complainer

“Healthy food is too expensive.”

“I don’t have time.”

“It’s too hard.”

And while those feelings are real, they become dangerous when they turn into identity.

Because while some people are explaining why they can’t…

Others with the same income, same responsibilities, and same stress levels are still doing it.

The cost isn’t just money.

The real cost is starting and stopping for years without progress.

6. The Emotional Eater

“I eat when I’m stressed, bored, tired, or emotional.”

This is not about food.

Food is just the outlet.

The real issue is emotional regulation.

Until that pattern is addressed, no diet plan will hold long-term.

Because you can’t out-diet a coping mechanism.

Awareness is the first step: Am I hungry—or am I feeling something?

That question alone can change everything over time.

7. The Shortcut Seeker

“What’s the fastest hack?”

Detoxes. Fat burners. Cleanse challenges. Shortcuts.

People love the idea of speed.

But transformation doesn’t respond to shortcuts.

It responds to repetition.

There is no supplement, plan, or trick that replaces consistency.

🧱 What Actually Works (The lasting results System)

Once you remove noise, complexity, and hype, fitness becomes surprisingly simple.

Not easy—but simple. AND YES - I Pull this back to food and exercise because that is the most underrated health and wellness tools you will ever have. Most health problems, aches, pains and discomfort can be solved by starting there!

1. Repeatable Nutrition

Instead of constantly reinventing meals, successful people simplify:

• protein

• fibre

• whole foods

The same 5-7 lunches, dinners and breakfast on repeat. They repeat structured meals because simplicity removes decision fatigue. And decision fatigue is one of the biggest hidden causes of failure.

2. Progressive Training

They don’t chase novelty.

They chase progression.

That means:

• 4–12 week structured programs (Either 3-4 sets repeated and progressed or a 8-10 rotation block repeated and progressed)

• measurable strength improvements

• repeated movements that the body can adapt to

Because adaptation requires repetition, not confusion.

3. Daily Movement

Not everything happens in the gym.

In fact, most fat loss success comes from what happens outside it.

• 8,000–15,000 steps per day

• consistent walking base

• low-intensity movement throughout the day

This is where long-term energy balance is built.

And most people underestimate it completely.

4. Sleep Discipline

Sleep is not recovery—it is regulation.

• 7–9 hours per night

• consistent sleep schedule

• cool, dark environment

Because poor sleep increases hunger, lowers recovery, and makes discipline harder the next day.

You don’t just feel tired.

You become more reactive, more impulsive, and more likely to break routine.

5. Protein Priority

Protein is not optional if body composition matters.

Aim for:

• 30–50g protein per meal

• 3–5 meals per day

Because protein:

• controls hunger

• preserves muscle

• supports metabolism

• stabilises energy levels

It is the foundation of every effective nutrition approach.

🔬 The Truth About Fat Loss

Fat loss is often overcomplicated.

But at its core, it is simple:

• small calorie deficit

• consistent movement

• repeated over months

That’s it.

The complexity comes from trying to avoid doing the simple things consistently.

Most diets fail not because they are wrong…

But because they are not followed long enough. And to some of you I might sound like a broken record and you feel you have done it all. BUT have you really and stuck to the plan... The other side of the coin is...This cannot be a temporary change...this HAS to be a lifestyle change...because doing this for 12 weeks loosing the fat....if your old habits come back...the fat comes back....

Most people don’t fail because they lack ability.

They don’t fail because they picked the wrong plan.

They fail because they cannot tolerate boredom long enough for results to show up.

Because real transformation is not exciting day-to-day.

It is quiet.

It is repetitive.

It is sometimes even boring.

But it works.

And if you stay in it long enough—while others restart, quit, or chase shortcuts—

you don’t just change your body.

You change your identity.

Because consistency doesn’t just build results.

It builds who you become.
