Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm 100 pounds overweight.
What should I focus on first?
Are you moving?
If you're not moving, then Iwould recommend start moving.
I think that's always.
I think movement is medicineKind of ties back to that first
question pertaining to you knowwhat is the key to living a
healthier lifestyle.
I operate under the philosophythat movement is medicine and I
think if you're not moving, thisis a great place to start,

(00:22):
right, I think getting into thegym and starting some resistance
training would be a phenomenalplace to begin your journey to
lose 100 pounds, if you feellike that's what you need to
lose.
But I also feel like there areso many different forms of
movement.
Right Again, we kind of talkedabout this on the first question
, but I think resistancetraining is a great way to go

(00:45):
and obviously that is what wepractice and what we preach.
So I'm going to always speakvery highly of resistance
training for the many benefitsthat can come with that.
So start moving right, sometype of you know, getting some
types of steps in movement,sport, whatever, whatever makes
you happy, whatever you enjoythe most, and then from there I
think you just I think lockingin on nutrition is so, so key.

(01:10):
It's so critical, starting tofind some consistency with your
diet, again figuring out whatshoes you're in.
Are you in the shoes of theperson that's over consuming and
not moving enough, or are youin the shoes of the person who
is under consuming and maybemoving too much?
Um, and then kind of navigatingyour way from there.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
That would be my yeah , I a hundred percent agree with
Jake on this.
Um, I think so.
I actually had a clientrecently.
Um, we've been working togetherfor a few years now, but in the
last, the first two to threeyears, was really learning more
about his lifestyle, his habits,his routines.

(01:51):
The mental overcome ofunderstanding that it really
starts on the inside and that'sso much of what I learned from
the podcast I did with JaredHamilton is learning so much
more about the inner work, theinner game that comes from a

(02:12):
dramatic shift in who you areLosing 100 pounds, I mean.
That's a small child you aregetting rid of.
I mean that's a huge journeyand I think the first step, what
should I focus on first?
I think the first step iscoming to peace with the fact

(02:32):
that this is going to be a longjourney 100, I think.
Coming to peace andunderstanding that this will
take time.
It will not be overnight.
It won't be six months, itwon't even be a year.
It might be three, it might befive.
By the way, plan for five, itmight happen in one, plan for
one, it might happen in six.

(02:54):
But if you hope for too shortof a time period, you're only
going to psychologically fuckyourself into not following
through.
So stay with it, keep going andjust make one small change

(03:14):
every quarter, so every threemonths.
Try to add one new habit or onenew skill.
In one year, you'll have fournew things that you do every
single day.
By the end of two years, you'llhave eight new things that
you'll never go back on.
If you can do that, I willguarantee success and
sustainability on your journey.

(03:36):
And this is one of the biggestthings that helped my client
lose lose 110 pounds wasstarting and meeting them where,
meeting him where he was at.
So for him, the first step wasall we have to do, bro, is eat a
serving of vegetables a day.

(03:56):
That's what we needed to dowith him.
That was it.
It was starting with a oneserving of vegetables.
From there, it was like okay,you don't eat enough protein,
let's add one serving ofvegetables From there.
It was like okay, you don't eatenough protein, let's add one
serving of protein with thosevegetables.
We'll start there and everymonth we would add one little
thing into his diet.
By the way, we didn't take awayanything, notice.

(04:18):
We didn't restrict, we didn'ttake away.
All we did is add one smallthing every so often, that's
what led to his success.
So don't think too far ahead,don't create too short of a
timeline.
Start with small, simple skillsand slowly build upon them, and
I guarantee you'll get there.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I love that answer.
