Summary: ------------------------------------<br> ♦ How to Lose More than 70 lbs.! ♦<br> ------------------------------------<br> Scott’s clients JP and Byron—who have lost a combined 170 lbs.—join the show, talking about how they’ve used The Cycle Diet, intelligent workout routines and internal discipline to transform their physiques.<br> <br> ♦ Real people, Real lives, Unreal results! ♦<br> <br> • Scott starts the show by sharing a testimonial from a client who reports improved lab results after following a Scott Abel Fitness custom vegan diet plan.<br> <br> • Making a firm commitment is the first step toward transformation.<br> <br> • Client Byron has lost nearly 75 lbs. since he began working with Scott January 1st.<br> <br> • Client JP lost 100 lbs. and has kept it off for four years while his physique continues to improve.<br> <br> • People continue to be amazed that Scott’s clients can transform their physiques without counting calories or macros, etc.<br> <br> • The ability to read one’s own biofeedback, not external cues, is what differentiates a sustainable diet strategy from an unsustainable one.<br> <br> • Gauging one’s own fullness following a meal (biofeedback) guides portion sizes for subsequent meals.<br> <br> • Good coaching isn’t giving someone a hand-out, it’s giving them a hand up.<br> <br> • A skilled coach can read cues from a client to determine if they will be a weight loss “tourist” or “permanent resident.”<br> <br> • A productive coach-client relationship demands the client be vulnerable and open to feedback.<br> <br> • Before-and-after coaching is easy. Coaching for long-term transformation requires the coach to critique the client honestly, and the client must be willing to receive the feedback.<br> <br> • The guys discuss refeeds and how to prepare for the first refeed after starting the Cycle Diet. Enjoying food is a good thing; it shouldn’t be feared.<br> <br> • Preparation is key to maintaining a diet plan. For instance, Byron prepared meals in advance for a camping trip.<br> <br> • After four successful years on the Cycle Diet, JP has transitioned to completely whole food plant-based. He recently dropped all animal products from his diet.<br> <br> • Being [truly] informed differs from being imprinted with dogma. Research makes good decision-making easy.<br> <br> • Decision fatigue exhausts the ability to make good choices. A good diet strategy that is based on principles removes the need to make decisions about eating.<br> <br> • Being a balanced, strong, healthy individual requires a strong body, mind and spirit. If all three are strong, the whole person is strong.<br> <br> • Committing to diet won’t work. The commitment must be to something bigger.<br> <br> **Diet Resources<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/metabolic-damage/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/beyond-metabolism/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/permanent-weight-loss/<br> <br> **Training Resources<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/hardgainer-solution/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/how-to-train-for-a-better-physique/<br>
