337: 6 Changes We All Need To Make

I rarely make blanket recommendations. When I talk about nutrition, I'm quick to say that strategies depend on your goals. When I talk about nutritional improvements, I'm quick to consider someone's baseline. I'm not going to recommend the Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss to someone who is currently eating fast food & candy every day. It would probably be too big a transition for them, right now. I think that almost all change is relative to the individual and their goals. However, there are a small list of changes that I think EVERYONE would benefit from, regardless of their goals and their baseline. In today's episode I'm sharing what those are and why I think they're so important. http://primalpotential.com/337-6-changes-need-make/ Resources: Water & Water Filters FATCO SkinCare Products The Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

336: How To Redefine Yourself

I would bet you have someone you admire. Maybe you admire their discipline, work ethic or attitude. I have people like that, too. And if you're like me, you might wish you were more "like them". That you thought like they think, act like they act, or have the magical qualities of discipline and motivation that they have. Been there. Totally get it. But here's what I know: you can change. You can redefine yourself. I went from work-place slacker to hard-driving overachiever. I went from careless spender to disciplined money manager. I went from emotional yo-yo dieter with zero lasting discipline to consistently healthy eater. You can redefine yourself. I am still redefining myself and today I'll tell you how. http://primalpotential.com/336-redefine-yourself/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

335: Battling Against Yourself?

Are you battling against yourself? Do you feel like there's this ongoing tug-of-war between your good intentions & your choices? I did a short fast last week and came out with a really clear understanding that I am NOT ever trying to win a fight against myself. The notion that there's an internal battle is just an idea. In today's episode I'm walking you through a strategy to end the battle against yourself and approach moments of temptation by realizing there is no battle and you have one clear objective. http://primalpotential.com/335-battling-against-yourself/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

334: Anti-Aging Nutrition Strategies

The market for anti-aging products is exploding. By 2021, it's expected to be a $216 billion dollar industry of lotions, potions, pills, products & procedures. Companies are looking to capitalize on our deep desire to delay the outward signs of aging. I have good news: the single most effective (not to mention affordable) anti-aging strategy is at the end of our fork. I'm not just saying that because I believe in the importance of quality nutrition. It's just true. The foods we eat are the building blocks of our bodies. Nothing will influence how well (or poorly) we age than the foods we eat. In today's episode we're talking about the most effective anti-aging nutrition strategies you can start implementing today. http://primalpotential.com/334-anti-aging-nutrition/ Resources: 3 Stages of Carbohydrate Intolerance FATCO SkinCare Products The Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

332: Attitude Adjustment

It's time for an attitude adjustment. The pursuit of fat loss or fitness is not a competition. You aren't competing against your friends and you aren't working out to "win" - the comparison trap will screw you up & mess with your head. Last week I was reminded of this lesson after struggling during a workout. I was frustrated that I finished last until my good friend Nathan reminded me that I'm not competing: I'm training. The same is true of fat loss. You aren't competing against your friends. You don't need to beat them in order win. You aren't "behind them" if they are progressing more quickly than you are. In today's episode I'm serving up an attitude adjustment about training, competing, comparison and working on weaknesses. Don't miss it! http://primalpotential.com/332-attitude-adjustment/ Resources: Year of Push 2.18 I'm Not Competing 074: CrossFit & Weight Loss Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

331: Carb Storage & Fat Loss

There is way too much confusion about carbohydrates. Too many people lump them all in the same category and act as if grams of carbs or calories are the only relevant factor. That's not the case. Others act as if all carbs are "bad" - also not the case. Some suggest that carbs are essential and even when pursuing fat loss we should consume multiple servings of quality carbs each day - that is untrue for most people. Some people suggest that your metabolism works like an accounting system and we need to consume carbs in the morning if we wish to burn them off. That reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about metabolism and macronutrient utilization. While it can be frustrating to hear conflicting opinions, I have some good news: Carb strategies for sustainable fat loss are not complex or difficult Your body will never lie about works & feels best for you In today's episode we're clearing up the confusion and reviewing carbohydrate metabolism & storage for those seeking any degree of fat loss. http://primalpotential.com/331-carbs-and-fat-loss/ Resources: Carb Strategies for Fat Loss - E-Course Why Calorie Counting Doesn't Work Carb Timing Carb Tolerance 3 Stages of Carbohydrate Intolerance The Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

330: Overcoming Inertia

We don't make progress because we give up, give in, delay and make excuses when things get hard. Here's the problem: change feels hardest right before you break through to it becoming easier. It's easy to start. It's easy to do the work when it's new & you're feeling motivated. If we don't master overcoming inertia - pushing through when it feels hard & we want to quit - we'll remain in the cycle of starting without ever reaching our goals or finding our true potential. In today's episode we will break down this idea of inertia, talk about how to push through it and demonstrate how things are so much more challenging in our own minds than in the reality of effort, practice & consistency. http://primalpotential.com/330-overcoming-inertia/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

329: The Case Against Counting Calories

Today is the day. We are making a strong case against counting calories. I understand it's easy. I understand it's been "all the rage" for decades. I also understand it doesn't work. As Mark Sisson says, the calories in/calories out model is overly simple & dangerously ineffective. Fortunately, there is a strategy that is both more effective and more accurate. I hope you'll keep an open & curious mind as we make this compelling case against counting calories! http://primalpotential.com/329-against-counting-calories/ Resources: Why Calorie Counting Doesn't Work Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)
