The worst longterm diet for fat loss.

Hey, so I want to take a moment to share some much-needed information that I think can balance things out for those who are trying to burn fat and lose weight, or those who are trying to just stay healthy and maintain their weight. Now, a lot of times I know that I can be, um, very aggressive when it comes to the health life, and I share a lot of things that are super discipline-oriented and you know, given some design to be able to craft a way to approach health in a way that is good for you personally. And because again, I always try to make approaches that are based upon individuality. And, um, and so along the way with being able to discuss some of the health principles that I speak about, I know it can be a lot. So I want to share something that'll take a little bit of, um, you know, a little bit of the pressure off of you and talk to you about the, the worst diet that you could possibly go on for fat loss. And this will help you out a lot because I'm not usually generally into the super quick fixes that don't last. Like, there's one thing to have a quick fix that you know is going to, you know, be the beginning stage into something else, but I'm not for like the, okay, I jump in it and then I jump out as it pertains to health overall. And I think I know a lot why, why people do that, and it's because they choose the worst diet that is for them. They choose the diet that is the hardest to stick to. And what diet is that? That's a diet that you can't stick to. Simple. You pick diets that you can't stick to because you get motivated for a moment and you say, I'm all in, I'm gonna do this. Now let me Go on the other side real quick and give a caveat to this. If you are like severely overweight, you know, you got high blood pressure, you got diabetes, your knees is hurting, your back is aching, your joints is, you know, cracking, and you know, you can't walk up the stairs without breathing hard, and you got some serious stuff going on, stick to the program, all right? I don't care how, how severe it is, stick to whatever program you're on so you can be well, because I don't want to promote a person not being well by, you know, telling them that they can be, you know, casual with their health approach. But on the other hand, I had to just say that real quick. If you are just someone that, yes, I have some health issues, um, a few health issues, I, I got some weight problems, I want to drop a few pounds, you you know, I, I want to get healthier, but I want to take it day by day, and I want to look up 10 years later and still be on the health journey, then you cannot choose a diet that you cannot stick to. So if you can't stick to ketogenic— now I'm not talking about, again, you, you, you on a no sugar thing because your, your blood sugar was 500 and you almost passed out. I'm not talking about that. You stick to it. But I'm talking about for the rest of you all just trying to take it day by day don't include into your health regimen a diet that don't include foods that you actually like to eat, okay? It's just that simple. You have to have foods you like to eat. You have to give yourself a break because I think everything is in moderation in a sense. Like, even being too strict should be in moderation. It shouldn't be, you know, like you just— you're, you're, you're just miserable because you can't eat nothing. You're eating, you know, leaves and herbs and, and rice cake and, you know, all this bland stuff. And then you can never go and have fun. That is going to cause you to rebound. And guess what? More people rebound than they do sticking to the process. So what I want to introduce, that there is a psychological aspect to living healthy. You have to be able to have a little fun with it so that you can last a long time. The question is, do you want something real quick because you're trying to fit in that dress, you're trying to get in that, you know, outfit for the summertime, you're trying to do something real quick, and then by wintertime you're stuffing yourself with potatoes every day and pizza and pasta and bread and crackers and cookies and, you know, donuts for breakfast? You know, you don't want to go back and forth like that. Therefore, you need to have a diet and a regimen. I don't even want to day diet. You need to have a healthy eating regimen that you learn how to eat healthy day by day, but you also learn to have a little fun, whether it's on the weekend, on a vacation, or whatever. Don't go overboard because pro— too many processed foods, yes, it's not good for you. However, if this that weekend that you want to do some fried chicken because you've been consistent, you've been exercising, you're seeing results, you're getting into the habit of things, That is okay to do because psychologically you have to do it to stick with it, and I'd rather you stick with it. So if you're gonna eat you some cookies, you know, one day, then fine. Don't eat them every day, all day. Don't, don't eat them too much even. Don't eat too much sugar that it makes you addictive. Sugar is addictive to everybody. It's addictive to me also. So I know I can't keep eating a bunch of, you know, heavy sugar food items and not get addicted, then it's going to be hard. So me personally, yes, I do— when I go on vacation and stuff, I go to the dessert table and all of that, but I make sure that I balance it and I make sure that I'm again just living healthy. I do splurge here and there on things that I really like to eat, but I also— once you get in the habit of living healthy, there's still some things even when you are cheating that you're kind of going to do. Like, I'll probably never eat like regular cookies. I'll probably eat gluten-free cookies or gluten-free chips and things like that. Like, if I'm going to eat something, it's probably still the healthier version. If I go out of town, I still kind of do intermittent fasting because I'm not used to like eating all day. And I still do eat like vegetables and salad and things like that, but I'm also going to look at the dessert table and see if there's anything that interests me because I'm having fun right now. This is a time to celebrate. And I don't want to be so strict that I make this just very hard for me to continue on the rest of my life living in this way. And so, you know, again, there's some habits. I still work out even when I'm on vacation because it's just a habit. It's not even hard to me right now. It's just, it's subconscious right now for me to just, you know, do these things. And then sometimes I rest, but I'm saying I still have a little fun with my life and with my food, and I think you need to do the same. And so if you don't want to rebound and keep going back and forth, back and forth, you need to figure out a plan that you can last with. All right, so I wanted to, uh, share that with you to encourage you. Stop going on these— how many diets have you been on? Ask yourself, how many diets have you been on? How well has that worked? How consistent has it been? You know, you got to ask yourself that. Some of you, it may be totally fine. But for the rest of you all that are tired of going up and down and having, you know, good days and bad days, I would just encourage you to take it slow and to take it day by day. And you're going to look around 5 years from later, you're going to be healthy, you're going to be thriving, you're going to be like, this has been a great journey. I exercise, I eat healthy, but I also still eat the foods that I like, and I'm getting better. My blood pressure has gone down, you know, whatever it is. Just do it. And again, when I put out products and programs, it's to jumpstart you to live a healthy life consistently. Now, yes, again, those who have severe chronic illnesses, if you just can't get your blood pressure down, absolutely, you might wind up with a stroke, you know, heart attack, you know, that increases the risk for heart attack. And if you got metabolic syndrome, which is a combination of different things going on at once, yes, it's 911 time for you. But for the rest of you who, again, is just trying to live a healthy life, do what you need to do, live a healthy life, have a little fun with it, and create an eating regimen that you can stick to.
