I'm 100 pounds overweight . What should I focus on first ? Are you moving ? If you're not moving , then I would recommend start moving . I think that's always . I think movement is medicine Kind of ties back to that first question pertaining to you know what is the key to living a healthier lifestyle .

Speaker 1 0:17

I operate under the philosophy that movement is medicine and I think if you're not moving , this is a great place to start , right , I think getting into the gym and starting some resistance training would be a phenomenal place to begin your journey to lose 100 pounds , if you feel like that's what you need to lose .

Speaker 1 0:35

But I also feel like there are so many different forms of movement . Right Again , we kind of talked about this on the first question , but I think resistance training is a great way to go and obviously that is what we practice and what we preach . So I'm going to always speak very highly of resistance training for the many benefits that can come with that . So start moving right , some type of you know , getting some types of steps in movement , sport , whatever , whatever makes you happy , whatever you enjoy the most , and then from there I think you just I think locking in on nutrition is so , so key . It's so critical , starting to find some consistency with your diet , again figuring out what shoes you're in . Are you in the shoes of the person that's over consuming and not moving enough , or are you in the shoes of the person who is under consuming and maybe moving too much ? Um , and then kind of navigating your way from there .

Speaker 2 1:31

That would be my yeah , I a hundred percent agree with Jake on this . Um , I think so . I actually had a client recently . Um , we've been working together for a few years now , but in the last , the first two to three years , was really learning more about his lifestyle , his habits , his routines . The mental overcome of understanding that it really starts on the inside and that's so much of what I learned from the podcast I did with Jared Hamilton is learning so much more about the inner work , the inner game that comes from a dramatic shift in who you are Losing 100 pounds , I mean .

Speaker 2 2:16

That's a small child you are getting rid of . I mean that's a huge journey and I think the first step , what should I focus on first ? I think the first step is coming to peace with the fact that this is going to be a long journey 100 , I think . Coming to peace and understanding that this will take time . It will not be overnight . It won't be six months , it won't even be a year . It might be three , it might be five . By the way , plan for five , it might happen in one , plan for one , it might happen in six . But if you hope for too short of a time period , you're only going to psychologically fuck yourself into not following through . So stay with it , keep going and just make one small change every quarter , so every three months . Try to add one new habit or one new skill . In one year , you'll have four new things that you do every single day . By the end of two years , you'll have eight new things that you'll never go back on . If you can do that , I will guarantee success and sustainability on your journey .

Speaker 2 3:36

And this is one of the biggest things that helped my client lose lose 110 pounds was starting and meeting them where , meeting him where he was at . So for him , the first step was all we have to do , bro , is eat a serving of vegetables a day . That's what we needed to do with him . That was it . It was starting with a one serving of vegetables . From there , it was like okay , you don't eat enough protein , let's add one serving of vegetables From there . It was like okay , you don't eat enough protein , let's add one serving of protein with those vegetables . We'll start there and every month we would add one little thing into his diet . By the way , we didn't take away anything , notice . We didn't restrict , we didn't take away . All we did is add one small thing every so often , that's what led to his success . So don't think too far ahead , don't create too short of a timeline . Start with small , simple skills and slowly build upon them , and I guarantee you'll get there .
