For those of you who know me this is likely to come as quite a surprise…
Mostly because I own a gym…
And also because I’ve been going to the gym since I was about 13 years old and likely haven’t missed more than dozen workouts in the last 25 years (even when I broke my foot I used to put a stationary bike up on a table, sit on a chair and ‘ride the bike’ with my arms… it sucked but it helped keep me in shape while my foot healed.)
You’ve likely heard of your friends or family detailing a new diet that they’re trying and it’s working great, only to hear about someone else explaining a completely different diet that is also working great!
How can this be?
How is it possible that completely contradictory diets still seem to work for some people?
Moving from a conventional or SAD (Standard Australian/American) diet is tough.
Believe me, I know.
When I made the change, I went all in and threw out anything with dairy, sugar, grains and alcohol all at the same time. And next came the WORST. CARB FLU. EVER.
However, I knew it would be a good thing, and a few weeks (and 20 pounds of weight lost) later, I felt great and haven’t looked back since.
Have you ever said something along the lines of “the problem with me is I’m simply not disciplined enough to *insert health goal here*”
“If only I were more disciplined, I would be able to cut down on sugar; workout 3x/wk; prepare healthy food; get 8 hours of sleep; stop watching after 1 episode…”
Sound familiar?
