4 Keys to losing weight for good

321go • February 2, 2023

Over the years I’ve helped people lose 100’s of pounds and get their health in a place where they are in control instead of letting health control them. Most people I initially see have lost some weight with various dieting strategies before seeing me but always gained the weight back once the program was over.

 

The reason is simple.

 

The nutrition plan they were on wasn’t sustainable and they didn’t have a plan for after which led them to gain the weight they lost all back.

 

Here are 4 things we focus on when creating a sustainable weight loss program for our clients.

 

1)Nutrition plan doesn’t make you feel deprived

-Too many programs focus on cutting out everything that you currently like which can be done for a short amount of time but we will usually go back to the old eating habits eventually.

 

2)Don’t make it complicated

-Because it doesn’t need to be complicated at all. Try to keep things as simple as possible so you don’t have to put much thought into it. The more complicated it is, less likely you’ll stick with it long term.

 

3)Strength Train

-Strength training has many benefits and one of those is to ensure the weight you are losing is body fat! By consistently stimulating the muscles it allows you to get stronger and maintain muscle as the weight comes off!

 

4)Have a plan

-You’ve probably seen 30 day programs. Problem is, what do you do after 30 days? It’s great if you get results during that time period but all the effort is put to waste if you don’t know how to keep the weight off. Always have a plan!

Why Age is Just a Number: Finding the Best Gyms Near Portland Maine for People 40+

By Evan Amell • February 23, 2026
Let's get real for a second. You're scrolling through gyms near Portland Maine, and every website you land on shows the same thing: Twenty-somethings with six-pack abs doing burpees at 5 AM. Meanwhile, you're just trying to figure out how to stay active without wrecking your knees or feeling completely out of place. Sound familiar?  Here's the truth: hitting 40+ doesn't mean your fitness journey is over. Actually, it's just getting started. But the big-box gym approach that worked (or didn't work) in your 20s? Yeah, that's not going to cut it anymore. If you're searching for gyms near Portland Maine that actually get what it's like to be over 40, you're in the right place. Let's talk about what really matters when you're looking for a fitness home that supports where you are right now, not where some Instagram influencer thinks you should be.

Small Group Training: Why Community Is the Ultimate Accountability Tool

By Evan Amell • February 16, 2026
Let's be honest for a second. You've probably started a fitness routine before. Maybe even several times. You had the motivation, the workout plan, maybe even bought new sneakers. And then... life happened. Work got busy. The couch looked extra comfortable. Nobody would know if you skipped just one day. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Here's the thing, willpower is overrated. Relying solely on self-discipline to show up day after day is exhausting. It's like trying to push a boulder uphill by yourself when there's a whole team of people ready to help you roll it. That's where small group training comes in. And more specifically, that's where community becomes your secret weapon for actually sticking with your fitness goals.
