If you’ve read All Gain, No Pain, you know that there are principles to help you build Resilience and principles to build Resistance. We need them all.
However, if you look at just two behaviors that are the greatest hurdles to overcome, your eating plan and your exercise plan may have the greatest impact on how you look, how well you move, and your self-satisfaction.
How would you rank the importance of how you eat vs. how you exercise?
I think most people know that your eating program is very important, but behaviorally speaking they favor exercise.
Both diet and exercise are important for health, daily performance, and looking and feeling good. Both are also somewhat uncomfortable when we first start to make a change in our daily behaviors.
Exercise, however, may seem a bit less threatening.
Yes, you may have to go to the gym, put out some effort, sweat a little, and be uncomfortable. BUT you can see the light at the end of a short tunnel.
You only need to endure the exercise portion of your behavior modification for 2 to 4 hours a week.
Eating effectively and with control and intent seems a tad overwhelming in comparison to your exercise program.
Looking ahead at 24-7 of monitored and measured eating becomes the obstacle in the way; the insurmountable mountain.
Many try to overcome the lack of an eating plan with more exercise which almost never works and merely increases stress. Eating effectively actually makes your personal transformation toward a lean, mobile, and pain-free body easier.
That’s why I brought Dr. Mike Roussell into the mix and asked him to contribute Chapter 11 to All Gain, No Pain. I needed someone that could simplify the hardest part of the process, and he did.
Dr. Mike now has a great program called leanOS to help you take control of your eating plan. You can almost get it for free if you own a copy of The Meta Shred Diet. [There’s also another workout in the from yours truly!]
Strategy
- Create your eating program (get help from Dr. Mike!)
- Stay in the moment. One meal at a time based on your plan. It’s just like your workout. See the light at the end of the short tunnel.
- Exercise consistently. Use your intensive days to build stress resistance and more muscle. Use your easier days to build resilience.
- Add in a new No Pain Principle as you master each one.
- Add in a new All Gain Principle as you master each one.
- Join the All Gain, No Pain Facebook group for ongoing support (for All Gain, No Pain readers only)
