Eric Siu hired a virtual personal trainer and committed fully to the prescribed diet and exercise plan. His spouse was skeptical at first but the key lesson is to trust your coach completely before judging results, or don't hire them at all.

I hired a personal trainer virtually for the first time in my life. I've exercised before and I continue to exercise. And then the personal trainer says, eat this, lift those weights, don't eat that, log it this way and take these photos. And then my wife's like, do you need to eat that? Why don't you substitute it with this? Do you need to work that hard? You need to take it easy on yourself. You're gonna hurt yourself. This person doesn't know enough about you. I'm like, babe, I paid this person. I made the commitment. I'm doing it exactly as the person prescribes. Otherwise, I will not know if he is a good coach for me or not. I must do it exactly. And of course, I consume it. I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. So she's the type who starts to edit the advice almost immediately, because her logical mind says, I can't do these things, these things don't work. She has a lot of suspicion. So my thing is, if you don't trust the person, don't hire them as a coach.
