Episode notes
Use Meal Planning To Kill Decision Fatigue
- Do remove decision fatigue with meal planning and simple routines instead of making different meals every day.
- Archna shifted to repeating meals, listened to RNT calls, and re-read the book to maintain consistency.
Ask Why Before You Accept A Change
- Do demand the why from your coach so you understand each change and commit to it.
- Archna insisted Ivan explain every adjustment (meals, steps, calories) which let her mentally accept and sustain the changes.
Maintenance Requires Time Not Just Willpower
- Archna chose a second year because one year wasn't enough to rewire 45 years of habits and avoid relapse.
- She viewed ongoing coaching as cheaper and less disruptive than repeatedly redoing transformations.
