How to stick with Intermittent Fasting or ANY diet. Two most common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Ever notice how a new habit feels great for a week, then suddenly turns into an impossible grind?  

We dig into the 2 hidden reasons change collapses, and show how to flip both.  

Using intermittent fasting as a working example, we unpack what’s really happening in your brain when routines shift: the nervous system flags big change as threat, stress hormones surge, and your mind rushes to restore safety by pushing you back to old patterns. That’s not failure; it’s biology doing its job.  

From there, we build a better playbook.  

We lean into kaizen, small, steady steps that fly under the brain’s alarm threshold, until 16 feels normal. We talk practical sequencing. We also show why design beats discipline: aligning your fasting hours with your calendar, planning meals in advance, stacking cues like “tea at seven means kitchen closed,” and choosing low-friction activities on tougher days. The same system applies to sales outreach, workouts, writing, and any skill that looks intimidating until repetition normalizes it.  

You’ll learn how to reduce friction, add supports, and use the environment as your silent coach. When obstacles hit, you’ll know whether to lower the load or improve the design instead of blaming motivation.  

By the end, you’ll have a stepwise method to make fasting and other goals sustainable, joyful, and resilient under real-life stress.
