13: What I Do To Bounce Back When I'm Not Feeling Motivated
10/16/23 • 32 min
I'm sure you'd agree with me that losing weight is MUCH harder when you're not feeling motivated, right?
And who can kick us out of our motivated state faster than anyone?
Ourselves.
So often we look in the mirror with harsh judgment which creates negative thoughts about ourselves and what we're doing.
That in turn leads to depressive feelings which then leads to asking things like, "Why even try?"
Over the years I've trained my brain to instinctively react a certain way around these negative thoughts which tends to quickly bounce me out of the negative state and back into a positive one.
And if you're like me, when you're in a positive state losing weight, maintaining weight, improving your health and just about everything else in life is much much easier.
Agreed?
Listen to this podcast all the way through because I'll be dropping some big knowledge bombs which will help you learn how to bounce back into being motivated when you're just not feeling it today.

12: "How Much Food Should I Eat To Lose Weight If I Can't Move Much?"
A question came in from Instagram:
"So if I'm totally disabled and not able to move a lot, how much food would I need to eat? Love your video and thank you for your outstanding knowledge."
I answered that question on this live call.
We also talked about:
👉 Calories and calorie deficits
👉 Food swaps to lose weight
👉 How to figure out on paper about how many calories you might consume per day (and week) to lose weight.
👉 A couple of my favorite tools for weight loss
👉 What the very basics of losing weight are and is what you need to learn
👉 How many pounds you should expect to lose per week
👉 What kinds of movements you can do to burn a few extra calories if you are unable to move a whole lot
And a lot more.
