But what we want to do is we want to make this a lifestyle change. If you go into this viewing it as restriction, you're gonna have a real problem. It's going to mentally cause issues. It's gonna fight back. So what we wanna do is we wanna switch things to an abundance mindset or core value eating.

Now, core value eating looks at it as rather than saying, I can't have this or I'm not allowed to have this. It's more of a focus on, well, what can I add to my diet to bring benefit to my life and my goals? And so if we switch it from I can't have chocolate or I can't have popcorn or whatever the food choice is that you're saying you can't have and switch it to, OK, well, can I have more fruits?

Can I have more dairy? Can I have more lean, unprocessed meats? Can I have more of these other beneficial constituents to my diet? Well, what's great about that is it's both a positive choice that you're making to have those foods. And secondarily, a lot of those foods have a lot of fiber. They're very satiating. They've got a ton of nutrients.

And when you're taking in these types of foods, you take in overall less calories throughout the day, secondarily, without even thinking about it. So you're eating less chocolate. You're eating less popcorn chips or whatever it is you're just trying to move away from.

And I want to emphasize, I'm not saying that these foods are good or bad, but there's certainly a continuum of there are more nutritious foods and then there are less nutritious foods. And making the majority of our diet based off of these more nutritious foods comes with a lot of benefits. And satiety and sustainability are part of that.

And then the other part of the equation is switching our goal setting process. And what I found historically happens with people, especially when they first start out on a fitness journey. is they'll set goals either with timeframes or a scale weight or something that they just can't control.

When you have goals that are based on outcomes, it becomes very problematic from a longevity perspective and it becomes very problematic from a motivation perspective. If you tell me, hey, I'm 190 pounds and I wanna get down to 160 pounds. I'll say, okay, well, what happens at 160 pounds? Like what's special about that number?
