Flying down the trails on my e-bike this morning, my phone pinged.
It was a question and not the usual
“what should I eat?” or “what program are you on?”
It was the kind of question that tells you someone’s actually thinking.
I couldn’t wait to get home and reply.
Here’s what I sent 👇
Hey mate, thanks for reaching out and a ripper of a question.
Brendan, like most guys was not shy in working hard... but also like most, he could lose weight just couldn't keep it off.
He said he knew he needed a different approach, and I asked him one question that changed everything: "why do you have weight to lose in the first place"?
That really got him thinking, and instead of focusing in losing weight or trying to stick to programs that didn't suit his lifestyle, he made his lifestyle BETTER and removed the reason for gaining weight in the first place.
That was the game changer, and then I was able to help him with dialing in his goals, accountability etc.
Hope this helps
