Introduction and Context

Many resources focus on the physical and biological aspects of fat loss. However, psychological aspects play a significant role in the fat loss journey. These aspects overlap and need to be integrated into preventing sarcopenic obesity.

Motivation, persistence, and consistency are critical success factors in the fat loss journey. Thus, a methodical project management mentality can effectively lose fat (quickly and sustainably).

Our habits feed these critical success factors. Therefore, our success is closely related to our routines and mindset. In other words, habits determine our outcomes. However, creating patterns requires awareness, commitment, and determination.

Even though habits look psychological from the outset, they have biological and neurological elements. For example, habitual actions can thicken neural pathways in the brain through consistent use.

Habits are made up of our neurochemistry. Neurochemicals in the brain help us gain new habits, practice, and sustain them.
