“Quick Weight Loss” Will Make You Sick, Scammed, and Fat & Focus on the right things to get the right results
Listen
Note 1
Clothing size vs. weight. Measure once a month at most vs. once a day. Track process goals as that is what you can control.
Note 2
Have your doctor measure body-fat percentage, blood pressure, heart rate, fasting glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol.
Note 3
Pick four: waist measurement, body-fat percentage, clothes test, cholesterol level, blood pressure, sick less often, mental sharpness, sleep well, strength, energy level, fitness level, improved mood, libido level, confidence, pain reduction, and athletic performance.

SANE
Serenity, Smiles, and SANEity Will Make You Successful & A sane mind is critical for a SANE lifestyle
Listen
Note 1
Much of your life has been spent elevating your set-point. Will you starve yourself and end up worse off than before you started? Or, will you be patient while your body heals itself and then keeps you slim and healthy for the rest of your life?
Note 2
A broken metabolism is like a broken bone. You have to let your body heal itself for a few months, and if you do, you will have a fully functional bone/metabolism for the rest of your life.
Note 3
How to react when someone brags about show-term weight loss: smile and nod. Sadly, they will not be bragging long. Their efforts are like strapping a brace around their broken ankle and going dancing.

Quiz
Remember these? Give them one more try now that you’ve spent a few minutes going SANE.
Q1
Measuring you waist circumference daily is a SANE way to track progress.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! While throwing away your scale and using a measuring tape around you waist is good, measuring your waist daily will only lead to discouragement. Please measure results (vs. process) at MOST once per month.
Q2
You should not expect any immediate results when going SANE.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Putting more good into your body in place of bad will improve just about every aspect of your life other than body composition immediately. Burning fat takes a significant amount of time. Fueling your body and mind to be at its best doesn’t.
Q3
The more you put in to SANEity, the more you will get out of SANEity.
True
Correct! While SANEity is radically simpler and less time consuming than calorie counting, starvation dieting, and excessive exercise, it does take time and effort—especially as you are just getting started. The SANEr you go, the better you will look, feel, and live.
False
Try again.
Step 5 of 6
Support
The number of people keeping you accountable is your #1 predictor of long-term success.
Sharing your SANEity enables you to enjoy instant accountability and support from your social networks. The science is 100% clear: The more you share your SANEity, the more success you will enjoy.
