I used to recommend all my clients to scale down and go off relatively regularly. Another way to do that is use rhodiola. Rhodiola, it's got its own mild stimulatory effects that can offset some of the withdrawal effects that you get from going off caffeine.

Well, I mean, in order to hit a target, you need to be very clear with what that target is. It also helps paint the picture. And this is an old trainer hack, right? Somebody would come to me and inquire about, you know, fitness or personal training. I'd say, what's your goal? Oh, I want to get in better shape. All right. What does that mean to you? I want to lose weight.

How much weight do you want to lose? What parts of your body want to focus on? Do you want to improve your mobility? Like the more specific I could get as a trainer, the greater the odds that we were going to be consistent and accomplish our goal. Plus it gave me a framework of, what to work on or how to guide this person. So specifics. I want to lose 30 pounds. Let's back up from that. Okay.

I need to start with, I'm going to be consistent in the gym two days a week. So let's start there. And then from there, it could be, I'm going to add five reps to my squat. Um, I'm going to be, I'm going to hit my protein targets, uh, for four days in a row. I'm going to try and go four days in a row without missing, by the way, hitting protein targets, very difficult.

So I've said this already earlier about hitting your, your target body weight and protein. It's not easy to do. Um, uh, for most people, it's actually quite difficult. Satiety hits, uh, quite, uh, quite easily. So that's what I mean by being specific and then changing, uh, A lot of those goals and trying to move away from the cosmetic goals and move to performance goals as well.
