Dr. Jeffrey Gladden argues willpower fades by evening, so remove temptations from your home instead. He recommends a five-day fast-mimicking diet with CalaCurb supplements and probiotics to reset cravings, then adjust your sugar-to-fiber ratio. Systems beat willpower.
Here's the problem I think that people run into, and you tell me if you think this is right, is that we all have willpower in the morning and nobody has willpower at night, right? So if there's ice cream in my refrigerator at night at 8:30, I'm going to eat it. It's not like I have super willpower. What I've done is I've architected my environment to support the mission. There's no alcohol in the house, there's no ice cream in the house. There may be some dark chocolate, there's some stuff, but if I don't do that, I'm like everybody else. So I think you've got to architect your environment. If you're listening to this, you've got to architect your environment. Otherwise, nobody Everybody has enough willpower to do this. And then I think you can help yourself by resetting the whole system with like a 5-day fast mimicking diet, using the CalaCurb, the right probiotics, you know, the sugar to fiber. Next thing you know, it's like, yeah, I'm not really hungry for that anymore. And then now it's reinforcing. Now you've got an environment that reinforces it. Now you've created a system around yourself, right? And it's only systems that win, right? It's not willpower. Willpower never wins. So you have a system that helps you win. And I think that's the key, no matter what strategy you're taking.
