Introduction to Nutrition Rules

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome back to another episode Inside the Mill Podcast. Coach Christian here, my main man Seth. Today's podcast episode, we are talking about the five nutrition rules that changed our clients' results. This week I was already, you know, it's only we had memorial yesterday and then uh in the gym, trained a lot of clients that didn't come in on Monday. And man, probably within the first hour, hour and a half, a lot of people just summers rolling around, they're ready to dial in their nutrition, and they're like, Christian, I just I need you on me again. I need you to to steady be checking in. And you know, we we have the messages that go out to the clients and all of the resources for them to track, but they're like, it just really helps whenever you're asking me whenever I come into the gym and asking me regularly. And so, and we've you know had some game plans built out for them. So just getting back to those things and what we want to do and is just kind of shine some light on these five things that have really helped our clients. And number one, meal prepping your protein, I tell everybody from the jump like if you want to get back into a routine, if you want to do something where you don't have to make all these drastic changes at once, just cook your protein on whichever day you have the most time. So for me, it's gonna be on Sunday after church where I'm able to prep my, I usually do a fattier meat. So a ground beef, which is still lean, it's still 93-7, but it's got a little bit more fat. Uh I might do a chicken thigh, or I'll do steak, and then I'll also prep a lean meat. So it might be a chicken breast, it might be a lean ground turkey, it might be fish, and I'll have those two proteins that I prep. So that way I know throughout the week I'm gonna have a lean meat and I'll have a fattier meat. And the hardest part and the most time-consuming part about cooking and having food ready is just having your protein. And that's where a lot of people find themselves is they're hungry after work or they're hungry at lunch and they just go, I'm just gonna go grab something because I don't have time to do this or time to do that. But if you have your protein prepped, at least it's like, hey, if anything, I'll just eat this. But sides are so easy and fast to make. Like you can make rice so fast, you can make potatoes so fast, you can go grab some cottage cheese or a scoop of Greek yogurt. Like there's all these other, all these other sides that are super quick, but it's the protein that's the most inconvenient part. So I always tell the clients make the inconvenient convenient by just prepping on the the day that you're the most free.

SPEAKER_01 2:22

So even that, like there's prepped. Like you can go to prepped and you can buy, and I've done this where you could buy one to two pounds of whatever meat that you that you want to purchase there and and have that already. I heard you talk about that, yeah. Yeah, so it's already you're not even have to cook. So yeah, I think uh we make things way more difficult than they have to be. And um I I, for example, I'm I don't know how how long out you'll go from cooking on Sunday. When will you have to cook more meat?

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Usually on Thursday. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

Like I'm only gonna go two or three days of eating that, and then I'm ready to cook something else. So yeah, uh, I would uh I'd suggest, like uh like Christian was saying, like a Sunday and a Wednesday.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Starting your week with momentum, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 3:09

Yeah, Sunday you already have it cooked, and Wednesday you uh you you cook again and more portions. And here's the deal is you're gonna cook anyway, so you might as well, especially when it's summertime, you might as well grill uh larger portions of of meat.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

Like the steak you started doing, you were telling me about.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

What's today?

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Tuesday. Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

Sunday, me and Courtney went to no uh Saturday, me and Courtney went to Whole Foods, and like I got sirloin that was 70 something dollars because there was so much of it. But once I cook, once I cut it all up, and that's how I've been doing it, is just cutting the steak up into slices.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Cooks faster.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

And it cooks the the way Courtney likes it, but then I'm also having the yeah, just a lot more simplified that way. And so uh bulk cooking or purchasing the uh the because the purchasing the meat's not any any more expensive, really, than than buying it.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Yeah, no doubt. Well, I like what you just said about go going and grabbing the meat. Like that's the other thing is when people feel like they're out of time, they feel like, oh, I'm just gonna go to Canes, or I'm just gonna go. They pick these other options that it's like, man, there's I mean, there's a there's a grocery store on every corner. I and I should probably make a video out of this, just running into the grocery store for three to five minutes, grabbing a banana, grabbing some Greek yogurt, and then grabbing a protein shake. Like right there, you've got something that's real quick, it's easy, it's gonna keep you full until you get to dinner time.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Even sprouts, though, you go and sprouts and I'll walk around their their foods that they've already kind of prepped and things, and they've they've got rotisserie chicken that they've pulled. Plenty of options. There's so many different you buy some boiled eggs, some Greek yogurt, have an apple or something with it, or whatever it is, and be able to go from there. So it's not a it's it goes back to it goes back to like an identity side of things. It's like if you look at yourself as the person whose diets all the time, and and that's what you look at yourself as is like, oh I diet, this is just a diet, and I'm just doing this for a little bit for six weeks, so I can get better on the lake or whatever it is, then you're you're setting yourself up to failure. Difference between you is is like, and is identity-wise, you look at yourself as like, hey, I'm I'm like just like right now, we're making fun of you because you go and like oh just a short run day, it was like five miles. It's like you look at yourself as an athlete and as uh disciplined, and when you start to take that identity on, it's not a question on like you saw my face when you said canes, it's like I would like I I had canes, like I'm like you know, I had canes like two months ago, yeah. And it was but it was just like, hey, I I have a Jonesy for this right now, I'm gonna eat that, and then now like I like I don't want it again. So allow yourself to have those things that you want to have, but

Identity and Mindset in Nutrition

SPEAKER_01 5:57

those aren't gonna be they're not going anywhere. Like Canes is right across the street, yeah. I can go there anytime I want to go there. And so it's this scarcity mindset of like the food's gonna run out, we're never gonna have it kind of a deal.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

And so um anyway, not only that, and I think it's uh it's just patterns and behaviors, guys. Like that's what a lot of times whenever you're rushed or you're short on time and you feel like, oh, it's this time, I need to go eat. There's all these patterns and behaviors that we've always done, and that's got us the current results that we're at. And so some people like if I'm not hungry at noon, I'm not gonna eat just because I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna go, well, if it's lunchtime, what's for lunch? If I'm not hungry, I'm not gonna eat. So I'll just wait until maybe two, three o'clock, especially if I'm trying to get leaner. I'm gonna try to push it back into the day as much as I can. Um, but that's just me personally, that time restrictive eating doesn't work for everybody. And so being able to work around where people currently are, um, that's why it's good to have a coach too, because they're gonna be able to point you in the right direction and find out what works for you. But in saying that, like we we've got clients that I've talked to and they have these fast food things that they do, and it's just the patterns and behaviors that they've always done, and so that's the norm. And so that what they have to do is just start to implement different patterns and behaviors and get out of that routine.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Well, they're changing, they you change your identity, and by changing your identity, the way you view yourself is I'm a healthy adult who eats eats healthy and and and prioritizes my my health over my the the my taste buds. Yeah, and now you get patterns and behaviors that work with that identity. But what the problem is, is some of you are changing your patterns and behaviors, but you haven't changed your identity, and so they fight against each other. So it's like my patterns and behaviors, and I start to try to do this, but my identity is still this, and so it's like, well, they're not going together, they're causing you more stress. So it's just like you change your identity, like, hey, I'm not gonna be this person that diets for six weeks and then go back to my old ways. This is me, and this is the way I do things. Now my patterns and behaviors fall into that because it's my identity of the way I do things, instead of vice versa, of I'm gonna change these behaviors and patterns for six weeks, but I'm not changing my identity. So I'm right when I fall off of this in six weeks, I go right back to my old ways.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Yep. Point number two is control your environment. I mean, I hear all the time, and you know, you'll be able to talk about this with a little bit more integrity than me. I don't have kids. I control, I buy the groceries, I control what goes into my house. But at the same time, I feel like you guys are the parents, so you can also control what goes into your house and not let your kids dictate what you eat. And I'm talking to clients all the time, and I hear, yeah, I've been getting into my kids' snacks again. Like, well, what are you buying them? Oh, well, you know, I'm getting them Captain Crunch, and then for lunch, you know, they like to have stuff that's easy. So we've got just all these other processed foods that have all these other things that aren't gonna be great for your kids either, but you're finding yourself getting into them. And then not only that, um, I've I've had a conversation with a client where it's like, man, I keep getting into the candy. I'm like, well, where's the candy at? Well, it's sitting on the dining room table. Like, man, out of sight, out of mind, you've got to get that out of your face, especially if you're struggling with it. Get it out of there. And the same thing with the foods, like you can control just because your kids are smaller than you are, they can still eat a lot of the same foods that you do. They're humans just like you are. And so, and not only that, getting ahead of it with your kids now, that way they don't grow up with maybe the same things you grew up with whenever you were a kid. If you ate all those processed foods and you're still struggling with that, maybe you can get a handle on it for your kids that way that you're able to change who they are, change their identity. That way they're not having to go back in time, just like what you're trying to do.

SPEAKER_01 9:46

Yeah, you are the parent. Like that means that you have to make the decisions that like I didn't have um sugar until I was in uh kindergarten. It was uh fruits were my my sugar. Yeah. Until we get into kindergarten, then they have like an ice cream machine that uh babysitter lets you.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Yeah, you start getting out of your parents' guidance, and you start your grandma might let you have some stuff or the the school. But a lot of times you probably didn't even you ate it and was probably like, I'm okay, but you probably didn't crave it and want it all the time. Crack it, man. Start giving it something you went crazy.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Sugar, he's gonna want sugar. Um it's probably more good. I was kind of giggling too. It's like you're talking about your your kids, you can dictate what you give your kids. It's probably more difficult for guys like us and our because our our wives and uh the the decisions they make kind of deal as far as we have to we can't keep it out of the house because they're gonna bring it in whatever you want to, especially our two wives, they're gonna do what they want to do.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

Yeah, they're pretty strong-minded.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

No doubt about it. Uh so besides the point, kind of like you were saying, is is um it your kids are watching uh your behaviors and and how you do things, and they're gonna take it. So like I that's the leverage point that I would uh have is like, okay, my kids are going to take after my results, and you won't do things for yourself, uh, but you'll do it for your kids. So if we looked at it like that, it was like, okay, well, I'm gonna get healthy because I want my kids and my grandkids to to get healthy. Now it's changing the way you look at it. And so you'll we'll let ourselves down, but we won't let our kids down. And that's what we always see about like uh I would die, I would die for my kids, but it's like, will you live for your kids? Like what we mean by live for your kids, like will you make healthier options so that like later on they don't have to worry about your health and babysit you because they because your health's declining so much at a rapid pace? We're we're some ways we're not gonna be able to control it, but in some ways we can control.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Um, let's be real, the majority of the clients that we have that have struggled and came to us and reached out to us for help, it stems back to their childhood. A lot of the things their parents fed

Maintaining Weekend Routines

SPEAKER_00 12:03

them whenever they were kids, or lack of guidance they had over them when they were kids, or things that they said to them, little comments about their weight, like all those other things still stick with you. And so, yeah, getting a handle on it and changing that for your kids right now, that way they don't have to deal with that later on. Point number three, stay in routine on the weekend. Yeah, so if I can I can kind of let you open this up. I I like your story about you know, once you got a handle on the weekend, how how it changed your results, but how pizza was just a must that you had to have every weekend.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Well, that's what we you we create identities, and so you have an identity. So, like I had an identity of like I'm uh I gotta have pizza every week. That was the identity.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

I have to have pizza every week because Saturday?

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Uh it'd be it could be whatever. So, like if if I started getting tired during the week and Thursday would hit, it might be Thursday night, it may be Friday, it may be Saturday, whatever. Um but what would happen is every time I would have pizza, I would think that the a story would get triggered. And the story was you've already blown your nutrition for the week, so you might as well eat whatever you want the rest of the week, and all weekend long, or from Thursday to Sunday, or whatever it may be, I would just go uh ham and I would eat everything and and uh that I wanted to, and tell myself I was gonna start again on Monday kind of and that would repeat every week, it'd be the same thing. I'm I've got to have pizza, I'd have pizza, that would trigger me to start to uh go all in and eat everything underneath. That all or nothing mentality, but I'm the type that will bounce back quick and Monday I'll start over. And so it was just this this karmic cul-de-sac of just the same, the same thing until one day I just questioned myself, do I really need pizza? And once I changed that that I questioned that story of really do I really need pizza, I started looking at it differently, and I started like, for example, we went to Whole Foods, uh, like I said the other day, and they have pizza there. So I got a couple slices of pizza. So so I allowed myself to have a couple slices of pizza instead of having the whole pizza, or I make a homemade pizza. There's just different ways of being able to satisfy that. And then what happened was is that one weekend that I just said, hey, I'm not having pizza this weekend, that broke that loop and that cycle. I didn't I didn't eat a bunch of crap over the weekend because I didn't have that trigger. And then what happened was I woke up, I was leaner, I was uh I felt better, I had more energy and more focus uh throughout the first part of the week. I wasn't beating myself up and didn't have the shame and that's what I was gonna say. Yeah, I didn't have the shame and the kill and myself down. And then what started to happen was I instead of that that pizza trigger, I pivoted and I went and I decided, hey, you know what, I can have pizza, but I don't need the whole pizza. I don't need to dip it in ranch, I don't need to go for a banana split afterwards. Yeah, I can just have these couple slices or whatever it is and go right back to my normal routine. So I think where a lot of people they need to identify what what what's that trigger that's causing them to fall off. Um, and that's just being aware of your your circumstances and like, hey, when I when I do this, it it leads to me doing this. Yeah, and that could be with anything though. So it's it's questioning your thoughts, and that's something we preach to our really new clients coming in, and is like we've got to question our stories, our beliefs, our rules, our our laws that we have that we've created for ourselves. And if we don't do that, it keeps us stuck, kind of deal.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Yeah, and kind of outside of nutrition on the weekend, I also want to touch on like stay stay moving, stay having a step goal, like all these other things that you're doing throughout the week that are getting you the results that you want and and keeping that momentum for you. Like, don't just break all momentum on Saturday and Sunday because it makes Monday hit like a truck. And then a lot of times, if you're not getting your steps, that's another thing that starts to give you in that mindset of like, oh, I'm already not moving, and then I'm gonna have a bad meal. And then you all these other stories you start to tell yourself because it started with one thing that you didn't do. So just keep that momentum, find ways to move, find ways to be active, find ways to not be so bored inside the house, get out of the house a little bit more because when we're bored, we'll just go open up the fridge and just look to see what's in there. Like just get just get out of get out a little bit more and um try to keep that momentum on the weekend.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

The weekend is a separator. Like if you want elite results, that the weekend is what uh separates those really elite results. So it's whatever you've got to find uh to be able to do, but uh kind of like you said, you've got to keep moving during the weekend and keep into a normal routine of what you continuously do during the week and just realize that Saturday and Sunday are are just another day. They're not they're not any different than Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Just act like just like act like you would Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday and make the same decisions but with uh with uh with the same integrity and be intentional with that and you'll get the results that you want. Um But when we mess up the weekend, or we mess up on Thursday, and we go Friday, Saturday, Sunday, then you're spending 40 to 50 percent of your week eating like crap, and then we don't think about it that way because like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you may be eating pretty good, and then you let yourself off on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and your majority of your meals are gonna be uh heading in the wrong direction.

The Value of Hiring a Coach

SPEAKER_00 17:41

Yeah. And we're not saying don't rest. I've had clients go, Well, you what day can I rest? Like we we're closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'm not saying you gotta work out, but movement is so good for recovery. Eating good foods is great for recovery. Prioritize your sleep. That's another thing. People will be locked in Monday through Friday because they have to go to work, and then on Saturday and Sunday they're sleeping in till 11 a.m. and then you're behind, and then you're staying up late.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

It's not even staying, but it's not even sleeping in as much as they're staying up like doing things that they, you know, they want to have a little time off, and so they stay up later and it messes that whole sleep rhythm up.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

Yeah, yeah, and like you said, it's just like an endless cycle of just repeating the old thing. Trying to keep stuff up, yeah, trying to catch back up. Number four, journal or write it down. So this helps for a lot of times people don't want to track their calories or they don't have the knowledge yet on how to properly track their calories. And so I just tell them tell them, hey, either take a picture of it and send it to me, or just write down what you're eating and then try to make an estimate based off of what you're looking at. Like uh, it's about a fifth size of a chicken breast. So then I can know, okay, it's about five to six ounces of meat. So just write everything down, and a lot of times that awareness is what proceeds change. You starting to write it down, you might go, uh, I really don't want to write down that I'm gonna have these four slices of pizza, or I'm not gonna write it down that I want to have these two cookies.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Or I don't want to write it down, so I just won't eat it.

SPEAKER_00 19:05

Exactly. Yeah, but it starts to make you think because a lot of times we're just mindlessly snacking. Snacking is a big one where people are just eating food. And when you're snacking, you're distracted a lot of times. You're watching something, um, you're just not even thinking about the food that you're consuming. And because of that, those hunger signals aren't kicking in. And a lot of the stuff that we're snacking on is highly palatable stuff, which is stuff that's not going to satisfy you, and you can just endlessly eat it. Like a good example of that is think about a whole family-size bag of lay's chips. Like, we could throw that down and not even be that full. Like, you could toss down a whole family size of chips. Imagine eating 10 baked potatoes plain, nuts, salt and pepper on it. If you want to do that, you would be stuffed after two baked potatoes. So, but a lot of times the amount of calories that's in 10 baked potatoes is gonna be the amount of calories that's in a size bag of laced chips. And so just starting to make better decisions with food, but just the awareness of knowing, hey, I'm gonna write down everything I eat, that's gonna a lot of times create that awareness, and that awareness is what creates that change.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

I go back to those cards we have up front. That was like um it's effective. Well, and what we can do is, and we're talking business strategy right here, but is those cards, one of the things we used to do each week was we'd have a bowl, we'd turn them into the fish bowl, and then that w every week at the end of the week, we would take one person, and one person would win something. So the the more cards they put in there, the more of a chance they get to win. We'd probably need some of that. I like that. Um the other side of it, and this really goes back to the the weekend side, but even with the uh writing things down, majority of people are bored. And when we're bored, we start to we we start to get destructive and we make our decisions are destructive. So it's like, oh, I'm hungry, and it's like you're not really hungry. So it's it's for me on the weekend, a big piece of it was I had to keep moving and stay productive doing something. So that doesn't mean I can't rest. It just means that like, hey, I'm gonna get this many steps in this week, I'm gonna get in the sauna and get in the cold plunge, I'm gonna do something that's healthy, I'm gonna go for a bike ride, whatever it is, to keep me uh keep me active that way too, so that I'm not sitting around thinking about food.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

So yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

And then and then you go, you stay busy all day long. And then the evening time, then that's now it's time to eat or whatever. So on the weekends, too. Uh another way of doing it's just like, hey, I'm gonna fast and I'm gonna allow myself to have one good meal that I want that day to celebrate or whatever it may be, and have one meal, and then you just use all your calories for that one meal that way. So you know, different ways of doing it for sure.

SPEAKER_00 21:56

Um, and talking about different ways of doing it, everyone's unique. And so point number five is hire a coach. Have some type of accountability. Yeah. Genius. I had to throw this one in here. Um, because a lot of times, I mean, everyone, this is what's fun about being a coach is everyone is their own puzzle piece. And you've got to figure out the patterns and behaviors that are keeping people stuck where they're at. And then you're trying to figure out, hey, what can we do to help get you the results that you want? And it's not the same for Joe, might be getting results, but then Betty over here, it's not going to be a cookie cutter plan that Joe's doing. Joe's different, he's built different. He's got more kids than maybe Betty does. Like he just lives a different life. And so we've got to figure out, and he's just genetically built different. So just having a coach to be able to give you that accountability, someone who's asking you, who's checking in with you. And when you know in the back of your mind, like, uh, Christian's going to be asking me about my food, he's going to be having me may weigh in on Mondays and Fridays, just knowing that that's there, it keeps you from drifting. And a lot of times we just we drift, and that slow drift, um, it might just happen with losing one or two habits, but then before you know it, you fell and fall back all the way to the original thing that you were doing. And that's what's got you the results that you had that you didn't like. And so just having a coach to be able to hold you accountable, but not only that, have a plan that works good for you and give you that knowledge. That way you can start to get into a system and start to learn things. And then once you start to learn it, you can eventually eventually live it on your own and it becomes your identity. But it's it takes a lot of time. You didn't put all that weight on overnight, and you're not gonna lose it overnight. And that's the problem with a lot of people that don't have a coach, is they go zero to a hundred real quick. So they're gonna look up, okay, how can I start cutting all these calories? And how can I start burning more calories? And a lot of times that's the last thing you need to do. Like you can pull one lever and cut calories, but you don't want to cut calories and then increase your movement and then start working out more. Like that's just you're burning both ends of the stick, and eventually it's gonna, it's gonna crumble and burn out. So having a coach to be able to build a plan around you is a game changer.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

Betty Joe.

SPEAKER_00 24:00

Betty and Joe.

SPEAKER_01 24:01

That's a that's the side of it. Is like I have a you know, you already know I have coaches in business, I have coaches in uh in my fitness side, performance-wise.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

I was gonna yeah, bring up that nutrition with your coach, like man, you had a coach before that had you on 2,000 calories, and bro, you're 6'1, you were probably 230 at the time, like 2,000 calories every day for how hard I see you work was not enough food. And so what it would happen was you would do that for only so long, and you're like, screw it, man, I can't keep eating this way. And then you would have some high calorie days, and that would kind of keep you stuck where you were, and so that's that's uh your coach feeds you now.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

Well, I was paying, I was I was paying $99 too. So like it was one of those things where he would just give it me. He was giving me just a calorie and a protein and send me on my way, and I should just figure it out, Cow Deal. And um, but 100%, like you said, it's like I'm he he done he's never met me before, it was online, never seen how I was built, yeah, as far as like uh how much mass I hold on to and things like that. So it was set me up for failure, and I would let myself down because 2,000 calories wasn't eating and I would eat overeat, and then I'd go and hide and not want to uh uh not to turn my numbers and stuff in because I was set he set me up for failure, and it was not his fault, it was just like yeah, I need to just be like, hey bro, which he should have figured it out for sure.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

Well then you then you'd fast for days and you'd kind of go into that.

There wasn't really yeah, but there wasn't even really talking about talking about it. It was more of um you know, hey man, where are you at? Like it's not like where's your numbers at as far as that goes, and like when you're turning in numbers that you don't want to turn in because it's not so what changed was uh one, I pay a little bit more for for to put to work with Austin, and then like with him, we're jumping on a call once every couple of weeks. We're building a relationship, he knows kind of how I am, and so it's it's one of those things that I don't want to let him down, and that's what that's why it works so well with our clients is because they built a relationship with you and uh Isaac, and it's one of those things where they don't want to let you down, kind of deal, and y'all built a relationship because we see each other every day, yeah, as far as that stuff. So um having that having someone that that when you'll let yourself down that is going to just ask you and they'll care about your results just as much, and you'll want to fulfill what they asked you to do because you don't want to let them down, and that's the that's really the leverage that a majority of people need. Plus, I just like if I do it my way, I'm gonna do it the hard way of like I'm gonna fast, I'm gonna do things like, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I'm not getting the nutrients and the vitamins and the minerals I need uh as well. And so with uh with the way Austin does it, I'm making he's making sure I'm getting everything that I I actually need for my results that I actually want.

SPEAKER_00 26:59

So yeah, and our clients that get the best results, they're not the ones that are the most disciplined, they're just the ones that ask the most questions and they're the most connected to us, and they raise their hand when they when they need help. So that way they can get the answers that they need. So relying on that willpower, it's it's gonna run out. But yeah, so that's pretty much it. All these five topics here, just try to implement one at a time. And um, for newer people that might be listening to this, um our our habits and um intro program that we're running right now are 42 strong, uh focuses a lot on just little things like this to implement into their life.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Our big focus is what we're trying to do is is get you through two phases of our program. And that two phases are momentum and a skill set. We're trying to, over a course of six months, it may take some people longer, it may take people a shorter amount of time. What we're trying to get you through is those two months or those two phases of training with us, because what it does is it builds a skill set for you in the strength training side of it and the nutrition side of it to where you know what to do and how to do it. And a lot of clients, it starts to become them just being able to maintain it from there. And we then we have some different options for those clients, but like if we never get through those two phases, then we're not setting you up for success long term. And so right now we do our 42-day, we're changing some behaviors and some patterns, and after that 42 days, you follow the plan, the vital method, then we refund your investment. That could be a refund, that could be an investment back into our next uh our next level of programming because the majority of people know that after six weeks that they need more, and so um they will jump in to a longer time with us so we can get through those two phases. But that's our main focus of getting you through those two phases. So 42 days strong, built around patterns and behaviors, simple. You show up inside the workouts, we take care of that. You follow the nutrition, you get your steps in, you communicate with us in our app, you do that consistently, then you win on that side of it, you start to get the results, and then from there we can sit down and make a uh a more informed decision. Um, hey, this is exactly what I need, this is the program I need, and then we can move forward from there. So if you're something you're interested in, the 42-day strong, you shoot us a message with 42-day, and we will uh we'll guide you from there, we'll point you in the right direction, we'll ask you a few questions and get you get you set up to uh to win long term. That's ultimately what what we want for you, and ultimately I'd hope that this is what you want for yourself. So um, yeah, that's it for me.

SPEAKER_00 29:36

Yeah, if you got something out of this and it helped you out, and you want to help you know shine some light and some knowledge on somebody else, share this with somebody. But for another episode of Inside the Mill Podcast, we'll see you on the next one. Time it timed it perfect.
