The No.1 Mindset Shift For Consistent Fat Loss!?

Hey guys, what's up? And welcome back to the Ditch and Switch Protocol. Now in this particular video, we're going to be covering metabolic mindset. As I mentioned before in our previous video, our mindset is what is going to determine whether we remain consistent and committed to the actions and the behaviors that we choose to adopt in order to reach the goals that we want. You know, many of us want to lose weight, we want to have more confidence, we want to get rid of the gut and so on. And you can have that. You can have all of that. But we have to remain consistent, not only with the behaviors that we choose to take, but also the way we're thinking in relation to those particular behaviors. Now, of course, this is the Ditch and Switch Protocol. So we're going to focus on removing a specific mindset and then replacing that with a new mindset that's going to enable us to remain consistent with our habits, with our behaviors, and therefore crush our fucking goals. So first thing, we're obviously in the metabolic mindset. Now, the way we think tends to influence the way we act. Not always, because let's face it, many of us, for example, know that, oh, if I eat a poor diet, I'll end up overweight, unhealthy, health problems, etc. But yet we still continue to do that, even though we know that eating healthier and not eating junk and processed foods would be better for us. But what we do know is, well, at least if I have a particular mindset or at least some knowledge around a mindset, I now have the opportunity to act in alignment with that once I've kind of practiced it and so on. So with this mindset thing, the first thing that we need to do is ditch the all-or-nothing approach and replace that or switch it to the all-in approach. Now, the problem that I tend to see both with my own clients that come and work with me, but also just in general throughout our health and fitness industry is this all or nothing approach. Now the truth is everybody thinks, or most people think, that's how I've gotta do it. You know, right from Monday I'm gonna get my food right, I'm gonna eat 3 to 6 perfect meals a day, I'm gonna go training at least an hour a day, I'm gonna start getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night and so on. And they start accumulating all of these new obligations on top of the 1,000 obligations they already have, but for some reason in that moment have forgotten about. And from Monday, I'm gonna do it. Then of course, Monday comes, they hit the ground running and, you know, I get a day in and, oh, that went pretty well. Yeah, it was great. I feel awesome. I trained and all the rest of it. But then what tends to happen within 2 to 3 days, fuck me, this is hard. I barely have the time for all this, plus this thing all crammed in on top of all the other things I already had to do. It's just not sustainable. Like, in fact, this health thing obviously is just a joke. It's not meant for me. It's only meant for those who can, and so on. Like, this obviously is something that I'm not supposed to experience. So then we chuck in the towel, we hit what we call the fuck it button, and we throw it out the window. Now, that's the problem with the all-or-nothing approach. It's like this mindset says, well, unless you can do all or nothing, then it's not worth doing. But instead, when we switch and go, okay, well, I'm not going to go all or nothing, instead I'm going to go all in. What all in says is, okay, well, all in sounds like all or nothing, but what it actually means is I will do whatever it takes to get results, not that I will do everything to get results. So I know they sound similar, but it's different because the all or nothing is approached from an energy of desperation. And what that means is we're so desperate to get a result, we think we have to do it all immediately. But all in says, okay, no, well, I'm committed to the result, and however I can manage to get the result for me is enough. So if that means just switching one thing with my food and maybe just making sure I train twice a week or 3 times a week to begin with rather than every day, and then maybe I'll just add 15 minutes to my sleep rather than thinking I'm going to go from 6 hours to 9 hours and so on. So maybe just doing that and maybe with my meals. In fact, all I'm going to do for now is just focus on getting breakfast right. I'll get one meal a day that's spot on and then I'll gradually work on the rest. So instead, I'm all in on getting results. I'm all in on improvement, but I'm not going to do it with this, this idea of I have to overwhelm myself. I have to do everything and get it all perfect. And as I say, it tends to be driven by desperation. I want a result now. I'm so sick of being stuck where I am. Rather than being driven by what we would ideally want is inspiration. But it's because we've got this idea that we need to be perfect. So it's like I'm desperate to get a result, and unless I'm doing things perfectly, I'm not going to get the result. But if we can shift and switch our mindset and instead be led by an inspiration to improve, then instead what we, what we realize is actually I don't need perfection. What I need is progress. And I'm sure you've all heard the cliché saying, we don't want perfection, we want progress, or we want progress, not perfection, and so on. And it sounds cliché, but it's true. If we commit to progress, it's easy to sustain that. It's easy to pick up or to notice improvements every single day. They're not necessarily huge and profound, but they're, they're changes and improvements that compound over time and lead to massive sustainable results rather than just a quick flip fly-by-night result that we got for a couple of weeks and then lost because it was impossible for us to maintain. So this is the, the, the first step that we need to take when we're like, okay, well, I'm now going to start working on myself, my health, my body. I'm going to start improving me so that I can improve the rest of my life. And the first thing I'm going to do is not be a perfectionist. I'm not going to go all or nothing, but I am gonna go all in. I am committed to results, not committed to overwhelming myself. And essentially the mindset that we're looking at here is we're gonna ditch the attempted home runs. So it's not like every, every hit we make has to be a home run. Instead, we're gonna ditch that and switch to hitting daily singles. So what this means is small wins daily accumulate to the massive results that we want over time. So there is nothing necessarily specific or active about this particular protocol. So it's like, well, hang on, I thought I was going to have to do something and do something. Yes, we're going to stop. What the— so apparently if I put two thumbs up, I get fancy stuff in the back. Well, I was not expecting that, and I was not expecting this course to be interrupted. By, uh, fireworks in the background. I will switch that off for the next video somehow. I have no idea how or why it even happened. But anyway, let's get back to what we were saying. So we're looking to ditch this mentality of every hit must be a home run, and we're happy to hit singles, and we move from base to base day by day. And in fact, what we do once we actually get into this deep— if you guys ever come and work with me, what you'll learn is we actually work on the 1 to 3% principle. So it's like every week I'm looking to improve by 1 to 3%, because that 1 to 3% compounded over a year or 2 years or 3 years, depending on what the goals are that we've set, that, that results in massive, massive changes. By the time we've done that over a few months, we're no longer the same person we were. We're no longer the person that shows up and allows themselves to be fat, tired, unhealthy, overweight, lethargic, lacking in relationship, lacking in business, lacking in self, and therefore unable to live life that's actually happy, that's actually fulfilling, that actually fills you with joy and actually makes you want to get up in the morning and go about your day. Because many of us are stuck in this place where all we see is the pit. We have these moments of pleasure, but we rarely have lasting happiness. And this is what we're trying to overcome. And it starts with making sure we take care of ourselves. So that's it for this video, guys. What we're going to do is drop the all-or-nothing mindset. And replace that with an all-in mindset. You're committed to getting big-ass results, but not at the sacrifice of yourself and the overwhelm that it can bring if you try to do everything perfectly right from day one. Thank you for watching, guys, and I look forward to chatting with you in my next video.
