Episode Highlights:

(06:30) Another reason that someone might backslide would be a lack of consistency, definitely something I struggle with. We talked about the loss of willpower a couple of weeks ago, and I think that a lack of consistency has a lot to do with losing willpower or motivation. Sometimes we feel really solid in our weight loss journey, but sometimes we feel worn out and tired, which leads to ups and downs.

(15:48) I care about what I put in my body; if you can take that attitude, that will serve you really well. You can just say "I care about what goes into my body, because what goes into my body is either healthy, nourishing food, or it's toxic". There's no in betweens, we live in a toxic food environment.

The interesting thing is that by 2030, 50% of Americans are going to be struggling with obesity. I don't want to go over that cliff with everyone else, so that's the attitude that will serve you well if you want to have a vibrant, healthy body.

(18:48) Plateaus can happen for a lot of reasons, and sometimes it's the biochemistry of the body. Sometimes it's stress or lack of sleep. For example, sometimes people say, "Oh, I had to take on a whole bunch of extra work shifts", well, just expect that you're not going to lose any fat during that time. It’s very difficult to lose fat when you're overworking yourself, or when you're not sleeping.
