Trade offs

a balance between two desirable but incompatible features.

In fitness context it is usually having a certain aesthetic goal and yet, you simply love food.  
Such is the dilemma, and what can you do? 

Do you simply: 
1. Give up on achieving your desired body composition
2. Give up on eating your favorite food? 
3. Compromise, try to exercise, still eat what you love but with a little more self control

Often times, we see individuals choosing between option 1 and 2, but try applying the trade off perspective (option 3) and who knows what answer you may come up with.
Sometimes, clients come to us with a specific timeframe in mind such as an upcoming wedding or event that they have to look good.
This is when we will dish out practical advice in order for them to reach their goal, fast. 

However, the methods is not sustainable in the long run and there's a certain chance that it will cause an rebound AFTER the particular event or when the individual hits their goals. 
Point is, making changes is not easy and it really depends on what you are searching for. 

If sustainability is the goal, accepting that you may take a longer time (months/years) to reach your desired body is OK. 
Whatever you choose, make sure you are progressing towards those goals, and that you are happy ~
