The TRUTH About Nighttime Carbs

So this one says, Mike, I've lost 20 pounds using your principles.

I'm waking up early to train and I feel great.

The problem is my husband.

Uh-oh.

He makes snide comments, brings junk food into the house, and complains that I'm obsessed.

How do I handle a partner who is actively trying to sabotage my progress? That comes from Elena, who's 41 years old.

Elena, thank you so much for the question.

And Elena, I have to ask you first one question.

Are you obsessed? Are you disordered in your approach to fitness? Now, I don't think so.

If you've lost 20 pounds...

My thought is you're in the middle of a transformative lifestyle change.

At 41 years old, you woke up one day not too long ago and said, is this it? Have my best years passed me by? Am I slowly going to gain five pounds a year for the next decade of my life? Look in the mirror and wonder what the hell happened to me? Where you lose your sense of self, you lose your body, you lose your hips, you just lose your sexuality, you lose your confidence, you lose your athleticism, you lose your health.

And then all of a sudden you're a grandma.

I'm assuming, Elena, that's what happened to you and you decided it is time to get fucking sexy at 41 years old.

And I'm almost 10 years older than you, Elena.

So I understand completely what happens and many of our listeners do too.

Now let's talk about hubby.

What's going on with him? He sounds like he's a little insecure.

He sounds like he's worried and this happens a lot.

Most of the time, your significant other pushes back on your health transformation because they're worried they're going to lose you.

And that is a real thing.

That is a real thing.

Because When one person enters into a health journey and the other person stays disordered and dysfunctional, you are no longer aligned.

You no longer have the same goals.

You're no longer moving in the right direction.
