Ever heard of 75 hard?

No! 

It’s not a special pill that helps older gentlemen to ahem “perform”.

Get your mind out the gutter 😏.

It’s a challenge created by an angry American man.

He posts “motivational” videos where he shouts at you like a deranged Army Officer.

You know the ones that are like…

“EVERY DAY IS A WAR WITH YOUR INNER BITCH SO YOU NEED TO CHOOSE TO BE A LION OR A COWARD… SO WHAT’S IT GONNA BE FUCKO?”.

Jeeeez Louise…

Have a sit down before you burst a blood vessel mate.

You won’t be shocked to hear this kind of content does nothing for me.

And the fact you’re reading my ramblings tells me you feel the same way.

But let me show you how 75 Hard isn’t a million miles away from weight loss diets you’ve tried in the past.

Here’s the rules of 75 Hard: 

Follow a strict diet. 

Eliminate alcohol. 

Complete two 45-minute workouts, one of which must be outdoors.

Take a progress picture.

Drink 1 gallon of water.

Read 10 pages of a book (audiobooks not included).

The goal is to do all of the above for 75 days in a row. 

And if you miss ONE day you go back to zero and start again.

This might seem extreme. 

But I bet you’ve tried some extreme approaches to dieting in the past.

Which isn’t your fault.

It’s just that when left to your own devices you’ll choose a stricter plan because you think it’ll get you better results much faster.

But it doesn’t work like that.

It NEVER works like that. 

Because us humans are strange little eggs.

And when your 75 Hard style plan meets your actual life with all the stresses, commitments, temptations and cluster fuck days it contains…

You’ll sack it off in a heartbeat for a glass of wine and some crisps.

And you’ll think you’ve fucked it…

So you’ll quit and not do anything until you have another nasty reminder about your weight loss goals. 

Look, I get weight loss can be overwhelming.

Between working out, eating right and making new habits…

It’s A LOT.

And extreme approaches make it look simple.

But they really make things way harder than they need to be.

Because once you have your first week of seeing progress while eating a bunch of different foods you thought were “bad”.

And despite not being perfect in every area of your life.

You’ll go again the next week.

And the week after that.

And the week after that.

All the way until you’re staring at yourself in the mirror thinking what the actual fuck is going on? 

And THAT is how you get results that last.

Small tweaks and minimal fuss additions to your lifestyle.

Not living like a bloody Spartan soldier.

Hope this helps you think differently about weight loss and feel better about giving it a go. 

Big Love,
Rachel 🥰
