1522: How to Stay Consistent with Your Diet & Workout

[@JulieGordonWhite]

“NO is a full sentence...” and “Focus on your health and the appearance will come...”. SO GOOD!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@coleaceret]

Yes! I though that was so good too!! Great insight.

Sal speaks gold, this podcast is a revolution for those who do resistance training.

[@royoj966]

I’m 18, Med student in Nigeria. I never did sports but when I hated myself enough I started doing tons of cardio. Even when I started lifting weights I was doing it wrong till I found you guys. I don’t know how to thank you guys enough. I feel great, I’m getting stronger and I love it. Thank you guys so much. I can’t wait to buy your programs and I can’t wait to get Sal’s book. Love you guys.

[@fernandotanase114]

What i love about these guys is that even though their podcast is focused on sports&nutrition, they'll talk about other aspects of life, like investing, managing money, relationships, etc. Y'all rock, keep grinding boys.

[@matthewharris5529]

This is the best show I've listened to. I think we sometimes focus on the mechanics of what we need to do rather than the mindset. Focus on the health mindset and everything else falls into place.

[@maxinereed7667]

So many gems in this episode. "No is a full sentence." "Focus on health and the appearance will come." Can I get an AMEN?!! This is EXACTLY what I need to do right now. I am so focussed on changing my outward appearance, checking the mirror for changes and always have been. So much so that I have found myself thinking that I NEED to hate myself to make a change! Although inside, I know this attitude doesn't feel right. I am going to commit to focussing on health and energy and the appearance will come. The strength is definitely coming. Thank you Mind Pump Team!!

[@aliaub75]

Sal is on fire this episode....I can listen to these guys all day.

[@elyssaunderwood2698]

On positive self-talk, I also like to say, "I can have one tomorrow". It's like the "just one more" rep trick.

[@TanceLaTrance]

Best fitness podcast on KZbin!!

[@PDog892]

I’m a 44yr old truck driver love Maps anabolic and aesthetic , introduced my wife to your podcast . Thank you for sharing your knowledge . I started at 13 continued through early 20s . Jumped back constantly 32 , found your podcast two years ago and purchased your maps programs over a year ago. Keep it up and thank you👊🏾

[@yacoubalatrash]

MAPS Strong access would be a dream come true

[@tricepowers6084]

My favorite podcast, you have forever changed my relationship to food and nutrition. Me and the wife would love maps strong.

[@shantahl73]

Writing all the way from Tassie in Australia. Thats how far your podcast has reached! 🤩 This is the most important episode of this Podcast I've listened to. I'm playing it again so I can take it in a bit more. It was so enlightening for me. It has totally changed my perspective on health, fitness and mental strength. I felt like this was very much about where I am right now. Thank you. I really needed this. :) 🙏

[@cincyplayer11]

Awesome podcast that I recently found. I am 35 and a father of 4. I always made excuses as to why I couldn't workout whether it be tired, something else going on or just didn't have time. I was up around 220 at 5'8". I started going to the gym at 4:30am 6 days a week and have been for the last 2 months. I am down to 185 and shooting for 170 for now. Listening to some of the tips and tricks you all have and especially this podcast currently, there have been plenty of days I wanted to lay in bed but knew if I didn't get myself out of bed, my day would be ruined. Thanks guys.

[@omartrachen6794]

The value that you guys brought in this episode is beyond worthy... Thanks very much really...

[@Cafecitoypan208]

I have hypothyroidism and low on vitamin D. Vitamin D took me a long time to treat it because the doctor didn’t help me to chose te right dose until years later and never knew how important it is to have a stable vitamin D. When I was at my best consistency, I was at my worst stress of my life. Now that my life is more stable I couldn’t stay consistently. I would stay active for months and stop for a few months, until I got an early shift job. I got into the gym and then a little before covid hit I joined a program. I have bought my weights and have stayed consistently. There is days I am so tired. Having both vitamin D and thyroid issues at the same time gives me no energy. I push through. I am trying to work on my cardio.my goal is 30 min every day of walks and if I can’t, I make sure I hit my weightlifting three times a week no matter what. My diet isn’t great. But listening to this about taking one thing off at a time and it still a goal reach is actually making me feel better to change it to that. It’s better to try slowly then nothing at all. Thanks guys! Made my morning.

[@victoriagonzalez6304]

This video right here. Yes! Slow and steady wins the race. I’ve listened to many of your podcasts and videos and I’ve found helpful information in them all. You guys give great advice, are extremely knowledgeable, and I appreciate that you’re speaking to the every day person, giving realistic advice and focusing on health as the #1 priority. You guys are great! Thanks for what you do 😀👍🏽

[@vidalsaenz3957]

Being unhealthy and out of shape is one being consistent at the wrong things. With consistency and discipline in the right things I lost 90 lbs. Being patient and looking at progress monthly instead of daily really helped me!

[@alexchen7]

Definitely one of the best episodes y’all have done. This struck a chord within me. I’ve been needing to hear this for quite some time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@aliaub75]

This episode is one of the best.

[@unccusend]

Positive self talk is huge for me! I try to start and end each day and each workout with some positive talk. I’ve found that it’s extremely helpful in sticking to a regimen. If you make eating healthy and working out sound like a chore it will feel like a chore. 100% agree with everything y’all said! 👏🏻 love the pod

[@coleaceret]

I remember awhile ago I drank and partied with my friends all night and the next day I just did a shit ton of cardio to make up for it. Not self love, changed since then and wouldn’t do the same.

[@MU80k]

These guys are the best for anyone who wants to get into shape. No BS and just telling it the way it is

[@ryanbrenner514]

Mind to Nutrition Connection >= Mind to Muscle Connection. Thank you gentlemen for the insight and solutions to the problems some of us struggle with when it comes to relationships with food.

[@healandhone]

I just have to say I love you guys & I feel like I'm listening to my big brothers every morning! It definitely is a lifestyle change but a very positive one! It took me 10 yrs to get to 100lb loss - which was this year actually! (I fluctuated down 10lbs a year. Originally 230lbs) consistency was always key for me and just always learning and listening to my body as it changed. you have to know WHY you're doing these things for yourself and when you understand nutrition and exercise and the purpose of it all you can become unstoppable! Use knowledge as your fuel - keep spreading it guys❤️

[@picklepirate]

What is always left out of these conversations is FOOD EDUCATION. That food doesn’t look good anymore when you learn about non-alcohol liver cirrhosis, metabolic issues, that sugar inhibits collagen. Nothing made me more averse to junk food than learning what it actually does to my body. Cannot avoid junk food engineered to be addicting by willpower and the threat to be fat alone. Food education is so important when making the right food choices.

[@MindPumpShow]

Absolutely!

[@sergioeduardo1690]

Best team in the world, Mind Pump, can’t put into words how much you’ve help me to prevent injuries, to move better, learning to enjoy the process, to have a better relationship with food and training. You guys are a true example of great fitness enthusiasts, very happy for your success, enjoy it and keep working on becoming the head of the fitness industry.

[@harrishansen9775]

So blessed that I found this channel. You guys give it straight and avoid all of the bs that everyone tries to force these days. Keep doing what you’re doing👍🏻

[@sunnivontrier5892]

Discipline over motivation builds consistency. Not everday is perfect but when you create good habits for your health & well being it becomes compounding. Enjoying the process is part of the journey for longevity. 🤗

[@vidalsaenz3957]

I am 33 years old 6' 2" and 190 lbs, last year I was 280 lbs. I never set out to lose 90 lbs. My goal was to eat better. When I lost 20 lbs I liked it and invested more effort. Then I lost 40 lbs. My confidence was increasing and I became more focused. Then I said 20 more lbs and I met that. Then 20 more. Then 20 more. I am now using all Mind Pump knowledge to reduce fat but increase lean mass. I created a sustainable diet and exercise schedule for life, I am married and have two kids under 6 yrs old. Thanks guys for helping me so much.

[@MrKinghuman]

According to your statements, the math adds up to 120lbs, not 90. 🤣🤣

[@vidalsaenz3957]

@@MrKinghuman actually lol.....when I said I lost 40 the 20 before were included so 40+20+20+20=100.....I lost 90 already and I am still working on the other 10.......sounds like good math lol trust me I am a mechanical engineer.

[@solsticemoon1220]

I thought the math was a bit dicey too lol, but came here to say well done, no doubt you feel much better but you are also setting such a great example for your kids.

[@Fitbydayjobbynight]

Free access woot woot!!!

[@itsnotfitness]

The best podcasts! the best team! ❤❤❤

[@thomasbodden25]

I totally agree with Adam @ minute 28:30 when I see pictures of fast food, I actually feel disgust. I rather have healthy food and feel amazing... Fast food makes me feel like shit... I feel slow and without energy... Great episode.

[@marcmcphee]

Excellent content again! I can relate to the discipline aspect of getting healthier. I’ve gone from almost 270 pounds to 190 ish in a year and a half. I did it slowly and sustainably...started with changing my diet.,,got used to that...felt better...added some cardio (family has history of heart disease)...and then the game changer!!!...started lifting weights...wow...that’s when it got really fun! Before finding you guys I thought I’d be stuck at 1800-2000 calories daily (I’m about 5’10”). Now my maintenance is over 3000 calories and it feels great! Keep crushing it and being real. Your experiences as trainers and humans really comes through on the podcast. Preordered the book and can’t wait to read it! Even better, I can’t wait to tell others about it! ❤️🏋️‍♀️💪😎👍

[@MindPumpShow]

Winner Winner! Congratulations on your transformation! Please email Ann [e-mail] with your name and email address you would like your program under.

@@MindPumpShow thanks! I’m just seeing this now. I will email you later today. You guys rock!!!

[@MarkMusu92]

Awesome episode... I’ve recovered from a hernia surgery and in between ive gone from 205 to 175 lbs... but I’ve stopped looking at the weight because I was focusing more on it rather than my health. And now I’ve got a structure that I can work with and build consistency with. Thx guys!

[@gusgreengolf13]

You guys rock. Book is pre-ordered. The information you guys provide is 100% spot on. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[@Smas-ds6pd]

This podcast helps me stay disciplined when I'm not motivated...if I'm honest with myself, I need to be more strict with programming as opposed to doing what I'm feeling that particular day. Much thanks to all of the people involved with Mind Pump!

[@MrWatufaka702]

"I don't want it." vs. "I can't have it." I love how Sal applies this philosophy to nutrition and loyalty, aspects of life that can help achieve happiness.

[@kostar500]

Very honest, very smart. Insightful. I have been consistently training for 3 yrs... slow gains but there r still gains!

[@Sarj7]

Another great talk! 👌 One thing I would emphasize more is when you guys made the comparison to how we approach gaining other skills in life e.g Math or whatever.. Just like with those things, we need to educate ourselves. Watch some of these videos or read some books. A solid understanding of these things was a real game changer for me personally. This way when you're deciding to skip training or whether or not to eat the pizza, you're making a well-informed decision.

[@kriphippie1406]

You guys have impacted my life more than anyone this past decade! Since I’ve been listening I’ve changed my life around tremendously chasing health. Other people around started asking what’s going on so it’s allowed me to teach them the ropes to get them started on their health journey. Thanks so much for getting my ass into the best mindset I’ve ever had!

[@seantmahoney]

Absolutely love the statement of this video. Consider me a new subscriber 2 years too late! 💪🏻 Thanks MP!

[@BlessVibez]

[@thedcsignal]

Love this episode. Great workout advice, but also great life advice in general.

[@shridharkulkarni8236]

The "I can't" vs "I don't want" argument is a difficult one, especially based on different cultures. For example, in Indian culture, "I don't want" would be perceived as an insult, especially if it is said to a person older than me. "I can't" is a more polite way of getting out of things I don't want to do in the country that I was born. It gives power to something outside my control, which is weirdly okay for most people in my home country. The "I don't want" works perfectly fine if the surrounding is receptive to your goals. Like if I said, "I don't want to watch a movie, because I want to study", almost every adult in India would stand up and applaud me. But if I said, "I don't want to eat more than 1 piece of cake", I'll be ridiculed and force-fed, whereas "I can't have more than 1 piece of cake" makes it seem like I may have a medical condition that should be left alone (I have actually lied or led people to believe that I have a medical condition to get out eating unhealthy food). So the bottom line is that certain advice works or doesn't work based on culture and your environment.

[@502gurl]

Think ur missing the point tho. You can still tell them you "can't" while thinking in your head "I wont because I CHOOSE not to". The point is that you should believe that you don't want to vs not being allowed. How you respond physically is irrelevant.

Great work friends, what you say is absolutely correct but how will we change majority mindset who looks for quick fixes yoyo dieting and think it will never rebound, i rather give myself 2-3 years with consistency and get to my goal and enjoy process instead of living for short term goals that are never permanent
