- So let's talk about getting a lean body long term
and in this video I wanna point you to a couple of mistakes
that you could be making unconsciously
which are automatically putting in that category
where you won't be able to maintain your results.
So that category of individuals who are really,
they're only seasonally or only there
to get short-term success for a couple of weeks,
but then immediately revert back where they previously were
and when I got into fitness myself,
when I achieved my transformation,
I really wanted those long-term results
and that's really my whole approach
and that's actually where our perspective is coming
and that's what I wanna share with you,
a different approach to looking at things
that how you put things together can make a huge difference
in whether you are able to maintain the results or not
and by the way, this stuff that I'm going to talk about here
is definitely not any kind of quick fix
or something I can just tell you
that's gonna magically you know, transform your overnight
and then allow you to keep the results.
These things that I'm gonna be talking about
require tremendous amounts of effort,
they're not easy to implement and getting a lean body
and getting an incredible physique overall
is definitely not easy
and I'm not here to tell you it's easy,
but I'm definitely here to tell you that it's worth it.
It's been worth it for me,
it's worth it for hundreds of clients that I've worked with
and it is going to be worth it for you as well

So we know that we can lose body fat
in a variety of different ways.
We can do that with a high carb, low fat approach.
We can go high fat, low carb.
We can go keto, we can go paleo,
I mean the science is pretty clear in this
as long as you're not chloric deficit,
as long as you're hitting your protein amount
to optimize the chloric deficit to protect your muscle,
as long as you're doing a resistance training
to gain some muscle, doing some cardio potentially
and imagining things correct like your macronutrients,
your foods, you're gonna see results
as long as you're doing that consistently,
but the real question here and the problem
that I see many people have is what I call
having a lifestyle mismatch and here's how that goes.
So a lifestyle mismatches a situation
where you've basically boxed yourself in a certain approach
that doesn't necessarily fit
all the changing circumstances would into your life.
So let me give you an example.
So let's say you're following a low-carb approach right now,
you're restricting your carbs, you say to yourself,
I'm gonna do a 90 day no sugar challenge,
I'm gonna just cut out all the carbs,
they're bad for you and I mean I would,
quote unquote bad food, that's your diet.
Then you're doing training.
Let's say doing morning cardio sessions on an empty stomach
plus you're doing evening training,
you're doing maybe some resistance training
five or six times a week
and that approach actually is working for you,
but here's the thing, let's say you're a family person
and then on a Friday you have pizza night,
how do you do that?
How do you then incorporate that into this approach
and that's just one situation.
Let's say I have a wedding coming up,
let's say you have a vacation coming up,
let's say there's something changing in your lifestyle now
where the commute is all of a sudden a lot longer.
Let's say you sell your house you move to a new state
for a new job, for a better opportunity.
How does that fit those morning cardio sessions
and all that stuff that you have to work hard on
to get any kind of results.
Now you can't spend that much time.
What do you do when you are only limited
to three days a week of training
and you can't do twice a day and actually, all the foods
that now are at work available to you are very carb heavy,
what do you do then?
and this is what is a lifestyle mismatch.
Basically the approach that you took on
does not match the actual expectations and the commitments
in other things in your lifestyle
and this is something you have to look at.
If you're someone who is new at this,
maybe this is not something you've even thought about
and even if I see some advanced individuals not thinking
from this perspective because they're thinking,
well the world is gonna adapt to me
instead of them actually being adaptive and using approaches
and things set up properly so it matches the lifestyle.
So if you do wanna have a couple of drinks out
on the weekend, making sure that you can stay social
instead of avoiding those events.
So not having that lifestyle mismatch.
Maybe you do have you know, a certain level of discipline
where you can actually say no to a lot of things,
but again, there are certain things that will be outside
of your control or certain situations
where you're gonna have to spend so much willpower
that it's not going to be worth it
because think about competing commitments
in your life, right.
So not everything is going to be just health and fitness.
There's your job, there's your family,
there's your social life, there's everything else.
So if you're expanding an enormous amount of
let's say willpower and micromanaging things
and this lifestyle and this thing that you're trying
to maintain, this box that you're trying to really,
really hold together so it doesn't break,
it's not negatively affecting all the other areas
of your life, that's where your motivation goes down
and you realize that well, is it really worth it.
I mean is it really, that low-carb approach,
is that really the way to go?
I mean I can't go out have no lunch with my friends
or with a client or let's say I have kids
that wanna have pizza on a Friday and I can't do that,
I have to do something else.
I have to go there and and just look at them
and just making me crave more and it's just unsustainable.
So this is what I see a lot of people not thinking about
is that the diet you commit to,
the exercise plan you commit to,
the way you design your habits,
you're basically committing to a lifestyle.
You're committing to a way
that you will spend your 24 hours a day.
So you have to be very careful what you commit to
and designed it in a way
that actually fits all the other things in your life.
So look at it more holistically rather than,
okay, this is a diet, someone else did it, it's good,
I'm just gonna do that, right.
So think about it more from a perspective
od what can you stick with yourself
and what will best fit your lifestyle
and not just short term, but also long term
because you know what are some of the traps
that usually throw you off guard.
Maybe it's that trip that you have coming up every year
that throws you off guard.
Maybe it's the holidays, maybe it's this or that.
You know approximately what those traps could be
and you know if this current lifestyle will be able
to handle those and if it can't handle those,
you have to redesign.
One of the biggest things with design
is that process of iteration.
So your design actually evolves over time
to fit the circumstances and that's how you have this
what is called like the anti-fragile approach
where you're able to adapt to whatever life throws at you,
your approach is adaptable in a way
that you will still be able to maintain your results
and you're not gonna focus that all or nothing thinking
where you do fall off for a whole week or a month
because you had one slip-up
and this is the lifestyle mismatch
that I see so many fail with because they're looking for
the quote unquote best diet that work for someone else
instead of looking what they can actually stick with
and what will work best
for their circumstances and their life.
So another thing that many people fail to realize
when we're talking about getting a long time
that you need to know about is
that this is not a temporary change.
This is a permanent change in how you make your choices
in your life and how you live your life.
There is just no way you can go back to eating
whatever you want in whenever you want,
whatever amount you want.
There's just no way you can go back to that mindless state.
Now that you've taken control over this,
you do have to have different choices.
You will have to choose, when you look at a restaurant menu,
you make different choices than most people.
The way you organize your weeks,
you do make time for your training
compared to most people which are not doing that.
So you are going against the flow
and you will always have to be going
a little bit against the flow because the flow,
as one of my clients said, goes to the sewer and that's it.
If you're following just the flow and just going along,
that's not leading to a place
where you're gonna be successful in this area of your life.
Not just in fitness, by the way this is true
for every area of your life.
If you're just going with the flow,
if you're not standing up for yourself,
if you're not taking control over this
and if you're just ignoring it and doing whatever,
you're gonna get exactly that.
You're gonna get whatever, you're gonna get randomness
and that randomness is almost never going in your favor.
It's almost never you being successful and in fitness,
it's definitely not you being lean,
you being proud of yourself,
you being able to stick with this long term
because if you're going with the flow, most foods,
restaurants, everything is designed actually
to make you consume as much as possible.
So this change that you're now becoming aware of,
it has to be a permanent change
and it's a change you have to accept, embrace,
enjoy the journey and over time, it does become easier
to maintain that lifestyle because these changes
become your habits and these habits become more
and more subconscious.
So you're making the right decision
without having to consciously micromanage
every single little bit and that's really the secret
to long-term success is making that change
and embracing that it's permanent,
that it's not something you're just doing
for a couple of months, but you really surrender
to the process and that's how you're gonna see
incredible results long term and be able
to really nail this area of your life,
and by the way, I'm gonna leave a video here at the end
which I go into more habits for fat loss
that I definitely want you to check out the (mumbles) plan
because you're gonna see amazing results with those.
Other than that, hope you enjoyed this video
and I will see you in that next video.
