One thing I do say to people is like, Rhonda, if I said to you, I want you to go become the best three-point shooter you can be, okay?

Now, you can't get any instruction, can't even watch YouTube videos.

But if all you did every single day for 10 years was go outside and shoot three-pointers for two hours, you're not going to the NBA, but I bet you'd be pretty darn good at three-pointers.

You know what I mean?

And just understanding that, you realize it is the mass action that makes the difference.

And so I just try to remove those barriers for people to just go and start executing.

So –

The most important thing is calorie intake, is the energy intake versus what you're expending.

But how you get there is what's really important.

People can kind of conflate a physical law of thermodynamics with tracking calories.

Those are not the same thing, right?

Like I can say – like it's a rule.

I don't think anybody would disagree.

If you want to save money, you've got to earn more than you spend.

But now keeping a budget can help facilitate that.

But you don't have to keep a budget to save money.

And just because you keep a budget doesn't mean you will save money.

Right.

So I kind of relate.

I try to get people to understand and separate those two things.
