The easiest way to lose weight is the most important way for you to lose weight.
Because usually when you go and start focusing on your weight loss, you're actually looking for the hardest way.
And this is really important to understand because dieting is really about the hardest way because the hardest way is typically the fastest way.
The more extreme thing you do to lose weight, typically the faster the results you're going to get are.
And the diet industry has really conditioned us to only consider plans that give us fast results.
and anything else we don't even consider because the only mode we have when it comes to weight loss is fast.
But the only way to lose weight fast is to do something extreme, to do something hard.
So to start looking for an easier way to lose weight really is fundamental to the whole process and requires a lot of focus and energy to figure out because your entire life you've been steeped in the hard way so deeply that it gets to the point that you only consider the hard way because that's the only way to do it fast.

So we shift the goal from I want to get to my goal weight to I want to live at my goal weight.
I want to be able to get to my goal weight and live there in the easiest way possible.
And you prime yourself with that question to find those answers out in the world.
It's different for each person because what I find hard and what I find easy is different probably from what you find hard and what you find easy.
Everyone's got different preferences, lifestyle, genetics, all different factors.
So it's up to you to ask the question, how can I manage my weight in the easiest way possible? That's the big one.
How can I eat breakfast in a better way, easier? How can my lunch become healthier, easier? How can I control my portions more effectively at dinner, easier? What can I do to make it easy, automatic, natural, so I don't have to think about it? How can I lose weight easily now and for the rest of my life? How can I maintain it for the rest of my life? This question opens you up to a whole different reality, a whole other world, because deep down in the back, you've always been looking for the hardest plan.
