Primal Potential - The Anti-diet Solution To Mastering Fat Loss Naturally

Our lives are busy. We all have a lot going on. And, unfortunately, that often means we aren't achieving our most important goals. When we aren't intentional about the highest priorities in our lives, we can easily become victims of our circumstances, feeling that there isn't enough time or energy to do what we should be doing. That needs to change. That can change. Creating change doesn't require that your life be stress free and your days be wide open. It just requires that we not let the things that matter most be at the mercy of the things that matter least. If something has disproportionate importance, it needs disproportionate priority. In today's episode we're talking about how to make this philosophy a reality that is reflected in your choices & your actions and we're talking about the ideas in the book The ONE Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan. https://primalpotential.com/442/ Resources The ONE Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan 441: Do You Feel Stuck?

At times, we all feel stuck. Or unhappy. Or both. In today's episode I'm talking about the danger of participating in our own problems instead of participating in the solutions. When we complain, blame, rehash the past, gossip, explain & justify, we are participating in the problem, not the solution. When we participate in the problem, our energy, attention, time & effort are going to proving that we are right and that our struggle is real instead of going towards getting it right, regardless of the details. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite episodes of the podcast so far.

For most people, eating out is a struggle when they're trying to lose weight. Maybe you feel like your options are limited or if you make a "healthy" choice, you're making a sacrifice and won't enjoy it. Sure, we all know that we could get a salad or a burger without the bun and if that's the extent of the options we think we have, of course we feel limited! There are so many other creative ways to enjoy eating out, love your food and feel great after you eat it! Today's episode is a short one but hopefully it will give you some great new ideas for the next time you eat out! https://primalpotential.com/439/ Resources 091: Eating Out For Weight Loss How to leave a rating & review What Is Breaking Barriers How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

We are so used to overthinking, overconsuming, overanalyzing and coming up with long term strategic plans that we've forgotten how to simplify. I had a listener email me recently saying that she wants to stop dieting. She wants to get healthy. She doesn't want to over-restrict or count anything, she just wants to eat more real food and less processed foods. Then she said, "I have no idea where to start". That is evidence of how far we've strayed from simplicity. Where she starts is, quite simply: how can I execute that today? What can I do today to eat more whole foods? What can I do today to eat fewer processed foods? But simplicity is not just about food. We've lost simplicity in our belongings. In our thoughts. In our actions. And today, we begin to get it back.

Let's stop fighting against ourselves & relying on discipline and willpower to create change. I believe that one of the most simple things we can do to make change easier and dramatically accelerate our rate of progress is: ask better questions. Tim Ferriss says that if you want uncommon results, ask uncommonly clear questions. Tony Robbins says that the quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask yourself. I'll add to that "and the honesty with which you answer & frequency with which you ask"! We are doing that work today!

Have you ever fallen into the trap of "better"? You know, when your choices aren't your best but you keep justifying them because they are better than what you used to choose?

We have more bacterial cells and bacterial genes in our bodies than we do human cells and human genes. Our microbiome influences every single aspect of our health. It has a tremendous influence over our metabolisms, hunger, appetite, fat storage and fat burning. If we aren't being intentional about optimizing our microbiome, chances are that it's not working in our favor, or, a best, not working for us as well as it could.

I caught myself making a big mistake in my approach to creating an improvement in my life. While my mistake was in the gym, it's a mistake I see most people making in the way they approach losing weight or improving their food choices. This mistake, which I describe in detail in today's show, is choosing intensity before establishing stamina. While this can absolutely happen in the gym, it's just as common in our food choices. Choosing intensity over stamina means choosing the intense approach without first building consistent basics. That might be a Whole 30 right from your standard American diet, or going from indulging too frequently to strict keto - but we jump to the intense approach hoping for faster results without realizing that we haven't laid a solid foundation for change. Then, we bail. We get frustrated or can't sustain the extent of the change and we give up. Our ambition exceeded our preparation. Our motivation is greater than our stamina. We might have the desire to create big changes but we ne

I read a lot. Multiple books each week. Within the Primal Potential Masters Club we have a monthly book club where we read, discuss and implement the strategies within many of my all time favorite books. Every once in a while I do a book club episode on the podcast and share ideas from a book I've recently enjoyed. Today we're talking about Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual by Jocko Willink. Though I don't know him, I have an immeasurable amount of respect & admiration for him & his philosophies. Jocko was a Navy Seal & commander of the most decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. Since retiring from military service, he has become a successful business man & coach who lives to practice what he preaches. From my perspective, Jocko Willink embodies mental toughness, achievement, bravery & self-discipline. I'm excited to share some of his ideas with you. If you are looking for a swift kick in the pants, buy the book and more importantly, live the ideas within it. Enjoy tod

The other day in my Daily Stoic Journal I answered the following question: If I lived today as if it were my last, what would I do? At first, I copped out. I wrote out all the things I'd do & then all the reasons why I couldn't do them. I mean, I have to work! I have responsibilities. Then, I caught myself and said: within the framework of my current reality, what can I do? Instead of focusing on what I would do but can't, what are the things I should do & can? One of those things I said I'd do if it was my last day on earth is record a final message for my Primal Potential family.  So, though this is not the last Primal Potential podcast, I wanted to record it as though it was. These are all the things I'd want you to know if it was my last day on earth. http://primalpotential.com/423/ Resources How to leave a rating & review Want to be a part of the Primal Potential community?
