for the rst 30 days of lifestyle transformation
I just cant stay motivated! Theres three big things people miss:
creating big whys, aligning goals with that purpose, and clearing
obstacles by auditing lifestyle.
These three things must be done as STEP ONE. This is critical. And
its all spelled out for you in a FREE workbook Ive created on
sustainable motivation.

TIP01
Slipping up here and there is NOT a big deal and wont derail you.
What WILL derail you is dwelling on mistakes. Or, dwelling on your past
failures and not believing youll succeed this time.
Stay present. Utilize journaling. Focus on your next actionable step
and let the past go. Reframe your perspective on failure.

TIP02
The Resistance is inside us all. Its the sabotaging voice of failure.
Procrastination, distraction, self-medication, negative self-talk, doubt,
and fear are all weapons wielded by The Resistance.
The Resistance is extremely cunning, deceptive, and efective.
Conquering it is a lifetime mission. Understanding it is the rst step.

Ceasing life as a carbovore can be physically and mentally
challenging. The withdrawal symptoms can be intense in some people.
Prepare yourself mentally know you might feel bad, accept the
challenge, and reinforce your big whys and core motivation.

PREPARE FOR THE SUCK
TIP04
Moderation, 80/20, and easing in are comfortable appraoches, which
is why most people recommend them. But theyre highly inefective
long-term.
Kick the sugar and make a complete change all at once. If youre
mentally prepared and emotionally commited, youll experience a
much higher success rate.

Its a misconception that the further away you get from your addiction,
the easier it gets. Understanding this is hugely empowering.
A psychological phenomenon called extinction bursts is
responsible for trying to get you to go back to old habits.
Overcoming these is the a key to success.

When ANTI* food is available in your home, youre far less likely to
succeed. Willpower is a myth. You must take additional steps to set
yourself up for success.
Get rid of ALL processed foods, grain-based foods, vegetable oils,
sugary foods, and beverage products from your home and ofce.

When you log what you eat, you gain valuable insight and awareness
and consistently make better decisions.
Take a cell phone picture or quickly jot down the details of EVERY
single thing you put in your body for the rst 30 days. No weighing
food, tracking numbers of any kind, just note the WHAT.

Failure happens, thats what.

prep or cook. When youre in a pinch, pull out this list and choose

TIP09
The diet mindset tells us that we have to control portions and cut
calories and not eat so much. But thats bogus.
Working with your body instead of against it means listening to your
bodys hunger and satiety cues. If your body says its hungry and
its legitimate hunger then eat! As long as youre eating real food
and avoiding ANTI food, theres nothing to worry about. Be proud
that youre FINALLY nourishing your body.

TIP10
ONLY EAT WHEN YOURE HUNGRY
We tend to eat for many reasons: hunger, stress, boredom, out of
habit, and addiction. This is a complex topic, but it starts with
awareness about why youre eating.
Assess hunger when youre prompted to eat. Dont eat until hunger
reaches a 7 or 8 on a scale to 10. Work to identify underlying
emotions and use a journal to scribble down notes about these.

TIP11
Poor sleep exponentially increases cravings and getting less than 6
hours of sleep leaves you metabolically like a type II diabetic. Worse,
the stress response from poor sleep locks fat in your fat cells
especially in your midsection.
If youre changing your diet and exercise regimen, but neglecting
sleep, youll fail. Get 8-9 hours of sleep in a pitch black room and
work to conquer ANY and ALL sleep issues you have.

Source quality, food quality, and ingredient quality are all important,
but its impossible to be perfect.
Let perfection go. Youre going to make mistakes and those
mistakes arent going to derail you. But striving for perfection and
falling short will cause mental and emotional breakdowns that WILL
sabotage your future.

PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION
TIP13
You dont have to take a bunch of supplements to be successful, but
there are a few that most people are decient in or that are hard to get
from food.
Magnesium, Vitamin D, and high grade sh oil are key supplements
that you must prioritize in the rst 30 days. Deciency in these
areas will lead to failure.

Why do all of the work to cook so everyone can have one serving? My
family always cooks so everyone can have two or three servings ( just
not at once).
Always cook at least double what you need and freeze the leftovers
so you always have options on hand.
[Link]
COOK IN BATCHES
TIP16
Constantly looking for new recipes and meal ideas is tiring, time
consuming, and will lead to failure. Its not just the recipes, but the
constant grocery runs to get ingredients you dont have.
Rotate an archive of 5 to 10 of your favorite meals. This allows you
to keep ingredients on hand, reduces stress, and makes planning
easier.
[Link]
PUT MEALS ON REPEAT
TIP17
We already talked about the importance of Vitamin D and the best
source to get it is sunlight. But getting sunlight also means getting
away from technology, getting outside, playing, walking, and so on.
Aim to get outside for at least 60 minutes every single day. Do this
intentionally. You get bonus points for being active during this time.

GET A LOT OF SUNLIGHT
TIP18
Trying to do this alone inside of a family dynamic becomes difcult. It
really helps to have everyone on board.
Start with your spouse. Think of an airplane oxygen mask metaphor:
put your masks on rst and then tend to your kids. Your kids may
come around slower. Your spouse should get on board now.

Theres 100 trillion microbes in the human gut with over 1000 diferent
species represented. In terms of complexity of function, the gut is
second only to the human brain. Food and lifestyle dictate gut health
and function.

recommend you supplement (be very careful of quality).

Do your best to remove yourself from all diet paradigms. A huge
mistake people make is to under-eat, especially when it comes to fat.
Prioritize food this way: FAT > PROTEIN > CARBOHYDRATES. Thats
the quickest way to reset metabolic function and avoid hunger
without counting calories.

GET ENOUGH FAT
TIP22
Were busy people. All meals cant be cooked, I get that. Its inevitable
that youll be heading to restaurants every now and again. The good
news is that theres nothing to worry about.
All restaurants serve some sort of protein and veggie. The key is to
not get caught up in worrying about the food quality or preparation
method (unless youre celiac, etc.)

Many people are scared and anxious about social situations during

the actionable mindset technique). Prove to yourself that youre in
control. This is an empowering and liberating exercise.

TIP24
Again, back to the old diet paradigms. Weighing yourself (or caring
how much you weigh) is one of the most destructive mindsets you can
be in. Not only is it obsessive, but weight is a useless measure of
progress to begin with.
Have your spouse hide your scale. Or better yet, throw it in the trash
or sell it on Craiglist. Im dead serious.

One of the most popular questions is, can I make smoothies or
protein shakes? My answer: Whole food is ALWAYS best. But if
youre in a pinch, blend it up.
Try to limit protein shakes to a couple times a week. Use greens,
limit fruit, include lots of fat, dont use fruit juice or sugary liquid &
only use high quality (grass-fed whey) protein.

What do I have for breakfast? Im sick of eggs! I get that one a lot

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
In 2009 I weighed more than 220 pounds (60 pounds overweight) having just relapsed
from a conventional calorie-restriction, exercise-heavy diet. I was a sugar addict and
borderline diabetic with high blood pressure.
This was the third or fourth struggle (and failure) with trying to lose fat and maintain my
progress and I was fed up.
Instead of trying yet again, I decided to radically change my approach by challenging the
conventional wisdom I was following. I came across a few authors talking about ancestral
health, followed their advice and saw great initial success. I was amazed at how easy it was
and how great I felt.
During my journey, I continued to run into psychological roadblocks and nally was
derailed after getting all of the way down to 170 pounds. After another relapse, I decided to
reorganize how I was approaching eating based on things I had learned through personal
testing, and most importantly I started focusing on the mindset and psychology of the
process.
After nding the right mix of nutrition and psychology I dropped to 162 pounds (my current
weight) and havent looked back. I enjoy a better body, better sleep, better skin, and better
performance and Im committed to helping thousands of other people do the same.
