How to Stop All-or-Nothing Eating After One Slip Up


Today's Lesson: Most "discipline problems" are actually thinking problems

You slipped up Friday night, extra slice of pizza, skipped workout, whatever it was. By Saturday it turned into "I already messed up this week..." you spiral and throw away an entire weekend of progress.

Here is what actually happened: the physical pizza didn't cause the spiral. The story you told yourself about it did. You set the bar at perfect, so the first crack in that plan breaks everything...

The Fix: consistency isn't about never slipping. It's about what you do next.

Not "I'll fix it Monday," or next week. Fix it the next chance you get. That's the whole skill.

So when you slip this week, skip the guilt. Make the next decision a good one. That's it.

That's today's lesson: Make the next decision a good one.

What changed: We worked on the behavior, not just the number. She learned how her body works and built a relationship with...

Today's Lesson: A crowded workout is usually a weak one. You've got twelve exercises on your list. Three sets each. By exercise eight you're rushing, resting less, using momentum, and mostly just trying to finish. Here is what actually happened: you didn't train hard. You got tired. Those are different things, and only one of them builds muscle. The Fix: fewer exercises, done with full effort and full range of motion. Five movements covers you: press with your legs, push, pull, hinge, carry....

Today's Lesson: Eating high protein does not have to mean eating boring. Most people start eating better with plain chicken, plain rice, and a sad pile of broccoli. By Thursday they're sick of it, and by Saturday they're ordering pizza. Here is what actually happened: you didn't run out of willpower. You ran out of food you actually wanted to eat. The Fix: keep the foods you like, and make a higher-protein version of them. Pancakes, burgers and fries, orange chicken, flatbread pizza. Swap in...
