1. Give up the desire to understand WHY you’re being told to do/eat whatever your coach tells you. Over time you’ll start to connect the dots on your own a bit but initially just trust what they’re telling you to do and follow it.
2. Some of the things you’re being told will be completely foreign and different from things you’ve heard about diet and exercise over the years from “experts”. Ask yourself one question, “How much success did you have while following that expert advice in the past?” That’s why you’re here.
3. As much as many folks don’t like to talk about it out loud, there will be days you fail miserably at this. You’ll go off the rails, have a bad day, whatever. Don’t let one bad day identify you. Start over again the next day or even the next meal if possible. If 99% of your days are perfect then one bad day isn’t going to completely derail your overall progress. Own it, correct it, and move on. Eventually your “bad” days are still going to be better nutritionally than every single day of your life was before you started this program.
