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

Ready for a little fire this morning? I want to help you crush your comfort zone. I've shared that I'm taking steps each day to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of growth and moving to the next level & I want to help you do the same. In today's minisode I share my perspective that discomfort needs to be the starting line, not the finish line. I challenge you to find your limits by doing things that make you uncomfortable. If discomfort, fear, judgement or embarrassment are the price of admission to my very best life, I'm willing to pay. Today. I hope you are too. http://primalpotential.com/304-crush-comfort-zone/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track? Check out the new Daily Motivations Podcast here.

We all want consistent results. Of course we do! Unfortunately, we often invest more energy in hoping for outcomes than in maximizing our effort & consistency. In today's episode, I'm sharing a conversation with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients where we talk about effort versus outcomes. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted more consistent results. I quickly redirected her to a focus on consistency in her effort and the application of what she knows. While she agreed with me, she also shared that she forgets. Day to day, she forgets to redirect her focus from outcomes to effort. Fair point! We took the conversation to how she can keep effort & consistency in the forefront of her mind. We also have a great conversation about getting bored with food, feeling guilty when you indulge and living a to-do list instead of living a life. This is a powerful, jam-packed, practical episode!

The other day I sent out an email explaining how I have declared 2017 a year of "push" towards my physical goals. In less than 24 hours I received over 700 responses to that email and most of you were inspired to push in your own lives. Many people had questions about patience versus surrender - about how to know if you're copping out and making excuses or if you really need to be patient for a season. I've decided to address all your questions and comments in today's episode, especially things like how to know if you should be in a period of push or patience? When do you push? Towards what? And how? I'll also address the one (so far) negative response that came in from the email. I can't thank you guys enough for all the love, support and encouragement. I can't wait to share my journey with you! http://primalpotential.com/302-push-or-patience/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

Today we're tackling "the gap" - the space between where you are and where you want to be or between what you intend to do and what you actually do. In that gap are your excuses. This is a bit of a workshop episode on eliminating excuses. Once you do that, you close the gap between your ideal and your reality. It's time to stop accepting and believing your excuses. It's time to eliminate them. http://primalpotential.com/301-workshop-eliminating-excuses/ Resources: Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

Have you ever felt like you either enjoy the full spectrum of food or you're missing out? That it's either one or the other and there's no middle ground? I've been there! But enjoying food without regret is absolutely possible! Today I'm sharing a conversation with one of my clients who is learning to do just that. She comes from an Italian family where food & drink was not just fuel but a way of life! Plus, she owns a bar so she's around food & drinks pretty much all day! Not only has she lost 30 pounds, she's teaching herself how to enjoy food, life, alcohol and still feel great about herself and her goals.

Many of us spend an absurd amount of time thinking. We want to understand our behavior. We want to craft a perfect plan. We ask a million questions about our choices, decisions and lack of motivation. It's time to turn thinking into doing so we can use our precious energy in a way that gets results. Todays episode is just that: how to turn thinking into doing.

I'm pumped for today's episode! I'm sharing a coaching conversation I had with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients and we're covering everything from parenting to perspective and her progress in creating a sustainable anti-diet approach to fat loss. I think there's a lot you can relate to her in her story - she's a working mom & wife who has struggled with her weight for decades. She has lost weight and put it all back on, but she's made a shift in her approach to health & food. We have a really candid conversation about stress, setting an example, and not manufacturing drama by engaging in problems that aren't hers to bear. I'm super grateful that she was willing to share this story with all of you and I know it will be a great encouragement and challenge to each of you! http://primalpotential.com/297-parenting-perspective-progress/ Resources: Breaking Barriers Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

The other day I was in the middle of a hard workout and I thought of a lesson I learned from one of my past trainers (and great friend), Nathan Keil. See, I used to use the transition from one exercise to another as a build in pause or rest. Whether it was 5 seconds or a minute, it was a built-in rest. One day, during a particularly intense workout, Nathan said, "go immediately to the first rep of the next movement. No rest. No pause. Get to the next rep as fast as possible". Even if I just did one rep of the next thing, the point was to break the habit of that pause. After my workout, I realized just how applicable this is to life. Let's say you eat something you wish you hadn't or don't feel too proud of. Isn't it so common to hem and haw about how to get back on track? How to bounce back? We use the transition as pause. We overthink and overcomplicate. What if we just got to the next great choice as fast as possible? No thinking, no planning, no strategizing. Just get to the next great choice as fast as po

I think we can all relate to periods of focus & determination as well as periods of avoidance and not doing the work. The transition between those two periods begins with drifting. It might start as a slow drift but we gradually turn our attention away from our focus & our goals. So how do you stop drifting? Even when you aren't enthusiastically doing the work, how can you avoid the drift that precedes a period of avoidance? Don't miss today's episode to learn more about how YOU drift and how you can learn to stay!

In today's podcast I pose a question for you to consider: how are you complicit in your problem? How are you complicit in creating the conditions of your life that you say you don't want? We're so quick to point to the things we're doing to make positive changes and we're even quicker to identify how external circumstances hold us back. But what's your part? Today I'll be diving into this question and also challenging you to flip the script and identify ways you can be complicit in creating the circumstances and accomplishments you DO want. http://primalpotential.com/292-how-are-you-complicit-in-your-problem/ Resources: Breaking Barriers Want to hop on the wait list for the spring Fat Loss Fast Track?

I know that many of you don't have the support of your family & friends as it relates to your health or weight loss goals. I've been getting an increasing number of emails from folks looking for ways to address family & friends who don't support their goals. Recently in one of my Fat Loss Fast Track groups there was a conversation about spouses who bring home tempting foods on a regular basis. Should you try to gain their support? What if you can't?

Today I'm answering your questions on emotional eating. This is one of the biggest barriers to progress. It's not that we don't know what to eat to reach our goals, it's that in moments of emotion or stress, we act as though we don't care. We certainly DO care, and overeating or overindulging creates more emotion, stress and frustration. If there is an area where you struggle, don't miss today's episode!

Yup. I love sports. I think they're incredibly analogous to winning in life. And, I love the New England Patriots. A few days ago I watched the 2014 documentary "Do Your Job", a look inside the Patriots organization.

In today's episode we're talking about goals, fat loss, life, sports & the New England Patriots.

In today's motivational minisode I'm sharing a short entry from my journal. I wrote to myself, "When I practice what I preach, my life is pretty amazing. When I do what I know to do, life is easier & I am happier". Guys, progress isn't a mystery. You don't need to know anything more. If you simply do what you know, not only will you make progress, you'll be happier and less stressed. You don't have to do everything you know, but if you're willing to be honest with yourself, I am quite certain you can identify 2-3 things that, if done consistently, would make you happier and healthier. Get to work & do what you know! While you're at it, take a listen to the full motivational minisode! http://primalpotential.com/286-do-what-you-know/

When I get emails from clients or listeners who are sharing a struggle or asking for help, I often respond by asking, "what does your practice look like?" You might understand the problem and you probably understand many of the solutions, too. But, understanding doesn't take the place of deliberate practice. It's not enough to say "I want to lose weight" because there are a million different things you could do on any given day to lose weight. Deliberate practice will dramatically accelerate your results. It requires that you identify one specific improvement you want to achieve and define your practice. From there you must practice CONSISTENTLY & with great effort. Don't miss today's episode for a deep dive into deliberate practice! http://primalpotential.com/285-deliberate-practice/
