Are you willing to sacrifice to the level you wish to achieve

The results that you get from anything in life are directly correlated to the amount of effort and thought you are willing to put forth. This is very true with nutrition and fitness. For example, if two individuals have the same workout program and one does the program with every thing he/she has and the other goes through the motions then nobody would expect the individual who went through the motions to get amazing results. Another example would be the difference between a person training 2 times per week with a 70% compliance rate with their nutrition and a person training 4 times per week with a 90% compliance rate with their nutrition. Who is going to get better results? I think the answer is obvious. The questions then become are you giving your best in every workout, are you training enough to meet your goals, and are you following your nutrition plan at least 90% of the time. If the answer is no then you should just expect average results. If you want amazing results you have to invest yourself fully in the process. Going through the motions never helped anyone.
