389: Primal Vs. Keto? Sep 16, 2017

Show notes

What's the difference between primal and keto? How do I know if I'm in ketosis? Do I have to be in ketosis to burn fat?

We're tackling these questions and a whole lot more in today's episode.

In episode 387 I laid the foundation for our week of discussion around ketogenic diets. I defined ketosis, ketones and talked a little bit about "clean keto" versus all those keto plans touting ketogenic treats & desserts.

In episode 388 I had the great pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson (author of The Primal Blueprint) and talking about his newest book, The Keto Reset Diet.

Today we're doing a bit of a debrief on those episodes to answer some questions and dive deeper into some of the powerful points we rushed through in episode 388.

If you've got questions about fat burning, ketosis or anything we talked about in episodes 387 or 388, don't miss this episode!

Reminder: next week I'm hosting a free mindset & motivation masterclass. The more we talk about nutrition & consistency, the more I feel the need to tackle mindset and the ability to create motivation because we can know a lot about nutrition strategy but not have the mental muscle to consistently implement it.

I hope you'll join me!

The mindset side of change cannot be overlooked. If you struggle with the consistency we talk about in today's episode, make sure you sign up for the free mindset masterclass next week!

Mindset Masterclass: http://primalpotential.com/bestrong

Key terms:

Ketosis is a state of metabolic efficiency where you are able to burn stored energy in the form of body fat and ketones & not be dependent on regular high carbohydrate meals to sustain your energy, mood and cognitive focus.

Ketones are an energy source just like carbs, fat & protein are energy sources. Ketones can be used by your brain, your heart, and your muscles. Ketones are produced by the liver as a byproduct of fat metabolism.

Ketones produced under certain conditions:

blood sugar is low
insulin is low
muscle & liver glycogen stores are low

388: The Keto Reset Diet Sep 14, 2017

Show notes

Today we have best selling author Mark Sisson on the show. Mark's book The Primal Blueprint was a game changer for me when I was initially adopting a primal way of eating. Today we're talking about his newest book, The Keto Reset Diet and how he thinks that phases of what I'll call "clean keto" are the next level of primal in terms of anti-aging, fat loss, performance, satiety & energy.

For an introduction to ketogenic diets, ketones and other general concepts, check out episode 387 of the podcast where I talk about this stuff from a high level to lay the foundation for today's episode.

For today, we're talking about why Mark considers keto phases the next level of primal, what kind of carb & protein limitations you'll need for success

Mark said a few super powerful things in the episode that I want to really highlight:

Building a fast metabolism as a health goal is completely flawed. Accelerated metabolic function accelerates again.

Guys, it's not that we need faster metabolisms. It's quite the opposite. We need more efficient metabolisms and we can create that with our food choices.

He also said, "When I'm keto, I'm barely keto & when I'm not, I'm barely not".

Do you know what that is? It's consistency. It's getting to a place where there aren't wild fluctuations in the quality & quantity of your diet. That's what we need to focus on more than an inconsistent extreme approach.

I strongly recommend you check out his new book, The Keto Reset Diet & definitely take a listen to today's episode!

387: How To Become A Better Fat Burner Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

You can become a better fat burner. If you are overweight, if you have regular cravings or feel like you're hungry all the time, I'd bet that your body isn't very good at burning your stored body fat.

We can change that.

In today's episode we're talking about how you train your body to either be carbohydrate dependent or an efficient fat burner.

If your body can't efficiently access your stored fat as fuel, you'll have to eat more than someone who can efficiently access & burn fat. Plus, you'll be more hungry & have less energy.

We're going to address what ketosis is, what ketones are and how you can begin to train your body to become a better fat burner.

We're also chatting about an upcoming masters class on creating motivation & building consistency. Honestly, none of these nutritional strategies matter if you don't have the discipline to build the habit in the first place. I hope you'll join me! Here's the link to register:

Hard Love Lyrics

Trading punches with the heart of darkness

Going to blows with your fear incarnate Never gone until it's stripped away A part of you has gotta die today

In the morning you gon' need an answer Ain't nobody gonna change the standard It's not enough to just feel the flame You've gotta burn your old self away

Hold on tight a little longer What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love You can't change without a fallout It's gon' hurt, but don't you slow down Get back up, 'cause it's a hard love

You know the situation can't be right And all you ever do is fight But there's a reason that the road is long It takes some time to make your courage strong

When the wolves come and hunt me down I will face them all and stand my ground 'Cause there's a fire burnin' in me They will see my strength in this love I found Oh

It's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love Oh, it's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love Oh, it's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love, it's a hard love

384: What Do You Want Most? Sep 05, 2017

Show notes

Today's episode gets to the root of why most people aren't successful:

They aren't sure what they really want and they haven't considered which choices give them what they want and which choices don't.

Seems obvious, I know, but when you start to ask and answer the questions, you'll be surprised by what you find.

In today's episode I'm sharing a conversation with a Fat Loss Fast Track client where we quickly get to the heart of the matter. I ask her what she wants most.

She wants to finally feel proud of herself.

From there, we dive into what kinds of choices make her feel proud & what choices don't feel proud.

When we look at the choices that don't make her feel so proud, we see that she's not using what she wants most as the determining factor in decision making.

When she uses that simple question, "Will this make me feel proud", her choices become easier and her results improve dramatically.

Reminder: the final Fat Loss Fast Track of 2017 kicks off on Sunday October 1st and registration opens up to the wait list on September 14th! Click here to get on the wait list & learn more about it by listening to episode 352 of the podcast!

383: You're Stronger Than This Sep 02, 2017

Show notes

A few weeks ago I shared a voice note with my Masters Club. I was nervous to share it. I didn't want to offend anyone or make it seem like I think behavior change is easy. I don't think it's easy.

But, I do think that we have, as a whole, become self-centered and weak minded. I think, because so many of us haven't personally lived through war, concentration camps, military combat or other intense trials, we've allowed our perspectives to become small.

So small, in fact, that we've convinced ourselves that food has more power than we do.

So small that we think, though well fed and safe in our homes, resisting a cookie after dinner or abstaining from a third glass of wine is what "hard" looks like.

I'm not suggesting it doesn't feel hard. What I'm suggesting is that if that's what hard means to you, we've got to adjust your perspective.

In today's episode I'm sharing some things that have really adjusted mine and making some recommendations for those of you who are feeling like change is hard.

I hope you enjoy it. I hope you hear it in the spirit I intend it - love and helpfulness.

382: The Relationship Between Hunger & Results Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

In today's episode I'm talking with one of my current Fat Loss Fast Track clients. For the first weeks, she was struggling to see results. But, in the two weeks prior to our chat, she had lost 5 pounds.

I asked her what changed. She said, "I started really paying attention to my hunger."

Guys, hunger is so major.

Sometimes, as was the case for this client, when we're eating healthy or fat loss friendly foods, we feel entitled to results. We get emotional about it.

"I'm eating healthy! Why isn't the scale moving!"

Because you're giving your body fuel when it doesn't need it.

Sure, when you feel like snacking you're choosing veggies and hummus instead of chips & dip but the reality is this: you're giving your body more fuel than it needs.

Extra fuel, regardless of the type, gets stored. There's no emotion about it. You don't "deserve" results.

Today we'll chat about understanding hunger, the common sense approach to knowing when you need more fuel and snacks that don't work.

To see the snacks I recommend in today's episode, see below.

381: Your Perspective Is Holding You Back Aug 29, 2017

Show notes

I'm pretty excited about today's episode - it's about how your perspective might be keeping you from creating success in the areas that matter most to you.

In episode 380 I shared with a listener a statement that has been really powerful in my life:

If you don't like the story you are in, leave.

If you don't like the story you are in, you have the power to change it - to create a new one.

Fortunately, I had an experience while traveling this weekend that really brought this to light so we're going deeper into this idea of story & perspective.

After all, our thoughts are infinitely more powerful than we realize and once we understand the way they are holding us back, we can create stories & beliefs that move us forward.
