Whatever level of discipline you THINK this takes I’ll just about guarantee you that you’ve built it up in your mind as being WAY harder than it actually is. It’s not that it doesn’t require ANY discipline but it’s all been much easier than I ever imagined.”

What are your top 6 "secrets" for success?
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.
5. Never underestimate the power you have to influence others just by your own improvement. Other people are watching whether they tell you or not. You are motivating and inspiring others whether you realize it or not. Changing yourself for the better is bigger than you.
6. Don’t be upset by the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do. Consistency is the key here.
