Its a rainy, cool day here on Long Island, and I have to sayIm fucking PUMPED!!! I got an unsolicited call this morning from an online radio company called Empire Radio, and they want to have me do an eight minute segment on the air, tomorrow morning, at 9:16 (thats not a typo)! The segment will be based on Weight Loss by Pete and what I do, and I couldnt be more excited!
Ive done interviews before, but this is a step forward in the right direction:-) I also have a potential spot on Bulletproof Radio, a huge podcast hosted by Dave Asprey, the founder of the Bulletproof brand and a huge advocate for the nutritional values that I strongly believe in.
Anyhow, today I want to get into how you know more than you think you do.
Well, youre already equipped with everything you need, biologically speaking, to be successful on your health and weight loss journey. The strategies in which to break these out, on the other hand, is where I come in:-p
Anyway, let me explain what I mean by you knowing more than you think
When our bodies are operating at their best, were very in-tune with how and what we feel. This ranges from physical sensations, to hunger to our emotional states. When everythings going full-throttle, theres nobody who knows what we need better than us (ourselves)!
Some examples that I can provide from both my personal journey, and my everyday life, are as follows:
1) I only eat when Im hungry. The regimented breakfast, lunch and dinner with a few snacks in between hogwash that weve been taught since childhood is a thing of the past for me! My degree of hunger will dictate whether or not I have a snack, or a full-on meal.
2) Not only do I only eat when Im hungry, but I KNOW what my body needs in that moment. If Im feeling low on energy, and wont be able to eat for a while, Ill snack on a healthy fat that releases energy slower, and thus over the duration of time that I wont be eating for, like almonds or Brazil Nuts. If its just a quick pick-me-up, Ill have a low-glycemic fruit, like an apple, to get my blood sugars back to where they need to be instantaneously.
3) I know what my body needs on any given day. Rather than going through the motions of a regimented workout program, I change things up based on my mood and how my body feels. If Im stiff, I do yoga. If I feel weak, Ill lift weights. If I want fresh air, Ill either go for a run or head to the park up the block to perform a plyometric interval training workout. This degree of being in-tune with myself enables me to keep fitness interesting, and thus not a chore that so many people look at following a program while going to the gym as.
When things are firing on all cylinders, we develop this great mind-body connection. Were born with it, but unfortunately, due to the 21st century lifestyle of Netflix and chill, ordering takeout and sweeping our issues under the rug (with that rug being one of either our careers, our families or an alternate reality weve created for ourselves through entertainment), we lose that connection, and fall out of touch with ourselves.
One of my best success stories, Laura, is a mom of two who admitted that she had lost touch with both her body and herself after giving birth twice in the span of three years. She got it back through working with me, because we got her mind and her body operating on all cylinders. Check out her AWESOME transformation picture below:
After Laura completed her program, Im happy to report that shes STILL on track, and is NEVER going back to where she was! Shes completely in-tune with herself and her body, and as a result, shes thriving for the first time in a long time.
Its the same concept as getting abs: Everyone actually has ab muscles; You just need to burn the fat around them to get them to pop out!
P.S. If youre READY to get in-tune with yourself and your body again, then lets chat!
