Only 5% of people that want to lose weight are able to lose it and keep it off for the rest of their lives. What is it that they're doing that allows them to get the results that the other 95% never seem to get? So if I had to boil it down to one thing, it's mindset. The way these people think about themselves, about food, about exercising, and their health is completely different. Now, the good news is that you can develop a healthy mindset, but the bad news is, if you look at most weight loss strategies out there, they never teach you how to do this. And so you've got a huge hole in your weight loss strategy of mindset. And so if you ever want to have a chance of being the this 5%, make sure that there's a mindset piece to it.
