Michelle, a weight transformation coach, regularly shares expert-backed strategies for effective and sustainable weight loss. Through her Instagram, she provides insights into diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits that make shedding pounds feel less overwhelming. Recently, she posted a reel outlining five crucial habits that differentiate those who struggle with weight loss from those who make it seem effortless.
"Why do some people find weight loss so difficult while others make it look easy?" Michelle wrote in her post. "It’s not about luck, genetics, or simply eating less and exercising more. The real difference lies in these five game-changing habits."
Many people fall into the trap of extreme dieting—eliminating entire food groups, relying only on salads, or spending hours doing cardio. However, Michelle emphasises that
sustainable weight loss comes from a balanced approach. Prioritising consistency, well-rounded meals, strength training, and a routine that aligns with one’s lifestyle is far more effective than drastic measures.
Starvation or obsessing over calorie counts can make weight loss feel like a constant struggle. Instead, Michelle advises focusing on providing the body with essential nutrients, making the journey feel natural rather than restrictive. When the body is properly fueled, it responds better, making it easier to maintain long-term results.

Michelle highlights the importance of accountability in achieving weight loss goals. Those who succeed rarely do it alone—they have a structured support system, whether through a personal coach, an encouraging community, or a tracking method that keeps them on course even when motivation dips.
Perfection is unrealistic, and one bad meal or missed workout shouldn’t derail progress. Michelle stresses that consistency matters more than occasional slip-ups. Focusing on long-term habits rather than short-term perfection allows for greater success. The key is to keep showing up and pushing forward, even when setbacks occur.
- Personalise your approach
A one-size-fits-all plan doesn’t exist. Michelle points out that the most successful individuals tailor their weight loss strategies to suit their specific body type, lifestyle, and goals. Finding a sustainable plan that feels natural—rather than a constant struggle—is the key to lasting success.
