The shape of weight loss
🍿Plus: 2 for 1 Mindset, two types of people, tand the decision you are not making.
Hey there my friend. Welcome to the 159th consecutive edition of the newsletter.
Here are 5 ideas I stumbled upon this week that might have a profound impact on your journey to creating the body, business and life you love.
Take screenshots of those ideas that resonate and feel free to share them on your favourite social media channel.
1/ Two types of people.
I made one small amendment to George’s brilliant insight.
Takeaway #1…
The fastest way to transform yourself and your life is to surround yourself with treadmill people, while ruthlessly limiting or eliminating sofa people from your life.
Takeaway #2…
Which one are you? A good way to figure out that is by observing how excited people get when they see you.
2/ The vital few.
Takeaway #1…
Think of this as The Law of the Vital Few — it only takes a few essential habits, in any area of your life, to create remarkable success.
Takeaway #2…
The flip side is The Law of Less — ruthlessly eliminate the unnecessary. If it doesn’t have a profound impact on the bottom line, cut it.

3/ Two for one mindset.
I have struggled to make progress on my middle split training so I have decided to add this exercise to my leg training protocol this week. It’s hard, but I love it.
Takeaway #1…
This exercise embodies Tim’s tweet above. It’s a creative way to do more while doing less. It’s a great lower body exercise and simultaneously helps improve the middle split.
Takeaway #2…
The two for one mindset can be applied to any area of life.
go for a walk while doing an important phone call
do meal prep with your kids
solve your own problem then sell that solution.

4/ The one decision you aren’t making.
Takeaway #1…
Decision making is exhausting. Find ways to put repetitive ones on autopilot.
Takeaway #2…
What’s the one decision you are not making that’s presently messing up your life?
5/ The shape of weight loss.
This is the weight loss journey of a friend — he started out as a client — from Australia who I just finished working with.
Takeaway #1…
He’s a 49 year old giant (6 ft. 3 in.), and he accomplished these results while traveling around Australia in an RV with his wife and 5 year old son for the past year. For 99.9% of people, that would have been the reason they couldn’t fix their weight gain issues.
Takeaway #2…
He struggled to consistently implement the concepts I was teaching for the first 6 months, so his early results look more like a volatile stock. But he did something 99.9% of people don’t do. He didn’t quit. He showed up everyday intent on figuring things out.
Takeaway #3…
There was a clear turning point where he finally figured out how to eat. And it was nothing extreme. He just focused on consistently eating within his calorie sweet spot (2200 calories a day) while not over-indulging on the foods that make him fat. And that consistency has resulted in effortless weight loss.
