Your metabolism isn’t broken
If you’re tired of feeling like your slow metabolism is causing your weight loss progress to plateau... You’re not alone. You feel like you're doing everything in your power - controlling your diet and moving more But the scale ain't budging! It's frustrating tbh (I’ve been there) But in reality, there’s more at play here. First off, your metabolism isn’t broken It’s just good at adapting, as is the rest of your body. When you lose weight, your body requires less energy to sustain that new weight As a result, your metabolism is less than it was before. Additionally as you exercise more, your body adapts to become more efficient And as a result, it burns less energy with each of those movements. This is why you may feel like nothings working despite DOING a lot. And then end up throwing in the towel and binge eating a full bag of Doritos in one sitting! I feel you. Truth is, the only way to break past this plateau is to USE DATA. Data on our calories, macros, steps, exercise, sleep and biometrics Data shows us the true facts of what’s really going on instead of what we FEEL is happening. And when we have data, all we have to do is make a small change to the things we’re doing and see how our body reacts week to week. Simple. This allows us to take control of your health trajectory without all the emotions. Do you guys track anything? Let me know in the comments below!

3 ways to make your exercise harder
Going to the gym but not seeing any progress? You might not be pushing yourself as much as you need. You could be working out all you want, but if its not giving your body a higher stimulus to adapt to, it has no reason to grow and change. How do you provide enough stimulus? Here are 3 ways: 1. Add more weight - even if it’s only 2.5lb, stimulus is stimulus. Your only goal is to get a bit stronger each and every week 2. Add more volume - if you want to grow legs but only hit it once a week, increase it to 2 days a week. Or if you’re only doing 3 sets, increase it 4. The more you do something, the stronger you get at it 3. Time under tension - slow down your movements especially in the eccentric phases like the descending portion of a squat. This will massively increase the difficulty of the movement even with lighter weights (great for home workouts)Add these to your workouts and watch your progress pick back up to where you like it If you want a customized plan that adjusts to real time data, comment PLAN below and I’ll reach out to you personally.

Simplifying your diet
As I've grown older, I've found myself being more attracted to the simple things. Simple meals, simple systems and simple routines. These are the bread and butter of what produce the results I desire for my brain, body and gut. This is the 80 from my 80/20. The remaining 20 is where I fit in all the things that give me temporary joy - drinks, sugary foods, snacks and dining out. I found that this is what allows me to stay disciplined towards my goals while still enjoying the process. Not too much restriction but also not too much indulgence. For any goal that you may have, discipline and consistency are the main drivers. And making things super simple enable us to be more disciplined and more consistent since there is less room for excuse. What are your thoughts on this? Do you enjoy simplicity or complexity?

Consistency
Consistency isn't everything. Here's two examples: - This guy has uploaded 2,000,000 times on YouTube and isn't the biggest channel in the world. - I play Call of Duty quite often. But I haven't got that much better in years. You see, most people misinterpret the 10,000 hour rule. It's not enough just to do something for 10,000 hours. You have to do 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. 1. Quantity + Deliberate Practice → Quality 2. Consistency > Intensity 3. Consistency develops ability So, consistency isn't everything. But if you combine consistency with deliberate practice... Given a long enough time-frame. It's impossible NOT to succeed. /// What exactly is consistency? In order to become consistent, you must understand what consistency is. Consistency is to continue doing regardless of the outcome of your doing. Some people do something, get no results, so stop doing the thing. Other people do something, get a lot of results, so stop doing the thing. /// How do you become consistent? I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be. Here's how I plan to change that: You become consistent by swapping attachment to outcome, with attachment to the process. You stop focusing on what you can't control (results). And start focusing on what you can control (actions). This becomes much easier when you realise that if the results aren't coming, it's either because you haven't given it enough time, or because you're not yet good enough. So the solution to this is to: 1. Keep going (consistency) 2. Get better (deliberate practice) If you do that for long enough, then the results will come. Understanding this makes it far easier to swap attachment to outcome, with attachment to actions. Also - it's much easier to be consistent if you TRUST THE PROCESS (fall in love with the journey) If you go to the gym regularly, get stronger each week, eat enough calories and protein... You're gonna put on muscle.
