They don't know anything about protein.

They've never done a proper, like a reasonable diet in their life.

They have a history of crash dieting and they go from extreme diet to completely given up, right?

That's pretty common.

And then you're like, okay, tell me about what you eat.

And they're like, okay, for breakfast, I have a pizza.

I have a pizza and I have a venti, an extra large latte with all the sugar and this and this and this.

And then for lunch, I have a box of donuts.

And then for dinner, I have a lasagna and then a tub of ice cream.

or something like that.

And while it does sound extreme, we do have clients coming up to us where that is their normal diet.

And I would say, okay, how about this?

We're going to do, and I think it's important to give them a certain level of autonomy as well.

And be like, okay, here are some things that we can do.

What do you want to choose?

I think, how about, would you be willing to, instead of 12 donuts in one sitting, would you be willing to reduce it to six?

And then instead of remove the six donuts and then add in, so you have six donuts,

take away the other six, then we're going to add in like a protein shake or a meal replacement shake or something that's going to, you know, give them a little bit more protein because we know their protein needs work, their sugar intake is through the roof, fiber intake is like non-existent, you know, things like that.

You're like, okay, there's so much room for improvement that even the most modest changes will actually elicit a lot.

How about instead of your extra large latte in the morning, how about a small?
