I'm going to divide that up over my three meals or whatever, or three meals and a shake, let's say. and I'm going to start strength training. Let's start there. What I'll do is I'll start to build my metabolic rate. I'll start to build my metabolism. Now, what that does is that sets me up for a much more sustainable approach when I do finally cut my calories.

Did you give you a different outlook at this or a different way to say this? What sounds more sustainable? A metabolism that's running on 1,800 calories where I need to eat 1,300 calories to lose weight or a metabolism that's running on 2,800 calories, right? 2,000 calories or 2,500 calories to accomplish that. Obviously the one where my metabolic rate is higher.

So rather than trying to cut calories right out the gates, build your metabolism first, then start the cut. And by the way, once you start cutting calories, your metabolism does try to adapt in the opposite direction, but that's why we build the muscle. That's why we strength train. That offsets that that negative metabolic adaptation or that slowdown of metabolism.

So build muscle, build strength, eat a high protein diet. Once that gets up to a certain point and you feel strong, you're seeing progress in the gym, give yourself a few months of this, of doing this, set yourself up really well. It's like building the foundation of the house before you build the house itself.

Radical changes in diet where you're eliminating entire categories of like a macronutrient, like I'm not gonna eat carbohydrates anymore. or extreme elimination diet, carnivore diet, or I'm going to go from omnivore to vegan. These just, again, the data shows have the lowest success rate because they just change everything so radically. I believe this is a good approach.

What I'm about to say is a good approach for a couple of reasons. One, it has lots of downstream effects, but two, psychologically and behaviorally speaking, it works really well with natural human behavior. Okay.

So if I were to tell you, you came to me and you want to lose 40 pounds and I told you to stop eating all this stuff over here, that's going to be harder than if I said to you, don't worry about what not to eat. Instead, I want you to eat this over here. So add this to your diet. Psychologically speaking, one of them seems more appealing and I don't feel so restricted.
