Look. We know that a “tough love” approach to either training or nutrition coaching isn’t right for every client. And this week’s pick for top post is brutally tough — the title warns you of that right upfront.

But the message, brutal or not, is spot on, and it’s one that many of your clients might need to hear: success in fat loss — and in ANY goal — starts with taking personal responsibility for the steps needed to achieve it. And those steps are bound to include sacrifices, difficulties, and a need for a positive attitude.

This post won’t tell you how to set up a fat loss diet, how to cook specific meals, or how many carbs to eat. But it does address the one thing that might be keeping your clients from reaching their goals:

Themselves. And their own mindsets.
