I wouldn't say billionaires live like this- not in the research I have done- that population has a model for risk to make money, which you made into a personal one on your video, but it's to solely to make money and in particular in a predictable system that has been around with mechanisms for 100 years (stock market). But it sounds like you came to create and know heart-brain coherence in a more complex unknown system which is life. Maybe not unknown but one we have conditioned ourselves to separate ourselves from so it has become unknown to us and unreachable. And so you actually built on a elementary concept of billionaires and made it comprehensive for life and in this case exercise, using multiple sources, particularly that TED talk. Kudos to you for figuring this out. I'd just say it's clear this is not the method of billionaires and it's harmful to promote that. It's healthy to promote yourself, that you did a wonderous thing and uncovered what YOU formulated and uncovered.

[@julie7035]

I've watched this video again over the past two days and made following notes: **Outcomes**\ Weigh in once a week\ It's important to align your actions with our goals and what we really like\ Create a personal vision in the four categories: heart, social, leisure and work. Write down your worst nightmare in the first column and then in the second how overweight worsen it. In the third column turn them around and create compelling reasons to lose weight. Tell yourself your why's every day. **Actions**\ We have to create a plan over months like a marathon plan. Start small, smaller than you think you can do. Add small increments over time. Train yourself to be able to stick to your habits across all kinds of weeks (normal, stressful weeks, vacation etc.) Take breaks, create smaller, but doable plans for difficult weeks. **Calories**\ You need to aim for 11-15% reduced calorie intake from your maintenance calories. **Exercise**\ 1h of steady state aerobic training: walking, biking, dancing, hiking\ 1h of strength training (two full body 30-50 min workouts)\ 20-30 min of high intensity aerobic training (hiit, tennis, row, kickbox)\ rest stability training (yoga)\ Steps a day\ 6000 (over 30% body fat)\ 10000 + 1-2 sessions of a sport you enjoy (25-30% body fat)\ 10000 + 1-2 full body strength training sessions + 1-2 stability training sessions (17-25% body fat)\ \ **Plans**\ On ramp: full plan for nutrition & exercise\ Low ramp: when you can do small things, but not everything\ Off ramp: when you can't do much **Body Reactions**\ Hunger: you should get hungry after 3,5 - 5 hours after a meal, if you get hungrier earlier, add 10-20 gram of protein. If you are hungry after more than 5 hours, you probably overate. Try to reduce the frequency of such big meals. \ Periods: there seems to be weeks where the weight is higher because of our cycle\ Big meal days and digestion can cause a lowered calories out temporarily. \ Sleep: two weeks of bad sleep can stall your weight loss progress, because you crave more junk food. **Mind Reactions**\ Cravings: we crave food because we associate it with feelings. Try to stretch out until you are eating by distracting yourself. \ Self-Sabotage: Justification like moral licensing (I've been so good. I deserve some ice cream.), activity over productivity (I eat so healthy, I'm doing so much, and yet don't lose weight) or justified snacking happens through boredom or procrastination (eating is important to fuel). Lacking self-esteem (I'm getting what I deserve, it's too hard, what's the point?), fear of failure (what if I don't succeed?) which makes you only half commit and then fail, fear of judgement (my friends will roll their eyes) are other self-sabotaging components. Another component is identity loss where the subconscious mind sees the overweight as something positive. This could be because of safety where you fear the attention, you want to belong to similar overweight family members or friends, or you keep stopping things because you are overweight like not going on dates. Motivation has it's natural ebbs and flows. **Where to start?**\ Our bodies don't need perfection, they just need enough actions and reactions to be right to lose fat. **Theory of Constraint**\ Identify the mist important limiting factor and the systematically improve that. Settle on one thing to try for the next week and a week later, do this process again. **Be patient**\ The list of problems you are running into can be lengthy.

[@julie7035]

This video is one of the most detailed weight loss plans I have come across. This must have taken a lot of work. Thank you for your dedication! What I want to say: be beware of the maxium fat loss calculator. I tried it and it recommended 1200 calories a day. That's not sustainable in any form.

[@teachntend]

I put in my current stats and my current amount of activity. Take the maintenance number (not goal weight) at the top of the chart. Subtract 15% from maintenance calories to get lower end of calorie range. Subtract 11% to get higher end. Did this lead you to 1200?

[@celticlass8573]

When they recommend using it, you're supposed to choose the mild weight-loss, not the maximum. Remember they're saying maximum 15% calorie reduction. For the average 2000 calorie maintenance for example, that's only a reduction of 300 calories a day, which leaves 1700.

[@tesshiva]

One of your best videos! Hearing your voice saying, ‘You can do it!’ has been a mantra for me, and with your videos, I’ve lost 25 lbs, achieve my goal weight, and am now working in the maintenance phase. Many Many Thanks for being an awesome coach! It worked! ❤

11:35 Finally somebody mentions it

[@margueritedepompadour7031]

It was just the little mindset shift from "Either perfection or nothing" to "consistency is key" that made a real change in terms of exercise possible. I´m working on applying this concept to nutrition too. A little problem I still have is that exercise is fun but I´m a heavy binger and emotional and boredom eater. Haven´t found any coping mechanism that came even close to bingeing in terms of emotional regulation.

[@amaginemiranda6056]

I struggle with this as well!! I’ve been trying to find coping mechanisms but haven’t found or successfully compelled them I should say

[@garimasikka10]

Certainly agreed. This comes with self compassion and if you let yourself go, you forgive yourself rather than self sabotaging more. Earlier, eating a chocolate would break my trust and lead to binging, just self compassion and letting go that you did eat, accept it, in fact. Enjoy the chocolate melting in your mouth. It's only one chocolate. No binging. Forgiving yourself is key. Your body is storing trauma in the form of fat. Love yourself to shed the baggage. I'm slowly learning that. I used to be super stressed and did extreme exercise and exhausted myself. But now, eat right, move a little without stress, you will see how easy it is. I love you all. 🤍😊 Hope you achieve your best form. Not to fit society's mold, but your own that frees you to be your best self even if it's curvy-licious. 😂❤🎉

[@margueritedepompadour7031]

@@garimasikka10 Thanks a lot! I can definitely agree that hating yourself is so counterproductive! I´ve only really worked on loving myself for a year or so. I have some way to go but really everything is already so much better

[@MH-gm6vt]

I want to thank you so much for this video. I am an overweight MD and the calories in-calories out is simple, but there is so much more that goes into how you get those calories in and how you get those calories out that while it is a simple equation, it is not a simple process. I believe this plan is the most realistic and achievable out these because it addresses the role of both our minds and bodies in this journey. I have now watched this video over the last 2 hours, diligently taking notes. I am hoping to achieve some weight loss implementing your system. Thank you so much! You and your team are amazing.

[@Arvind_R]

"Don't think exercise, think 'play' " @16:15 is working out really well for me.

[@celticlass8573]

Yeah I think that paradigm shift is one of the keys. I found myself starting to think in terms of how can I get a workout/exercise with the same benefits, that I would/might find fun? Because if it sucks, there are very few times I'll choose to do it!

This is absolutely fantastic to hear!! I am so glad our videos have been of so much help to you. This made our year! ♥️

[@katybug1966]

Thank you so much for this in depth video. So much information! One thing that makes me wary is how in Keto and Paleo "carbs" are only equated with junk food (fries, donuts, white bread). There are healthier carb options out there - whole grains, fruits and root veggies have carbs and lots of the micronutrients people need. I never feel satisfied without a little whole grains in my meal.

[@celticlass8573]

Yeah I never understood why people focus on carbs, but don't learn about carbs, and say they don't eat them, when they're really talking just about grain products lol. And the fact as you say that carbs run the gamut, some are actually really healthy, and come from sources that have a lot of very important micronutrients in them.

[@andreamiller6200]

Richa, a fresh shot the arm, I am so pumped to watch this today! Of interest, since July 2022 I have now lost 30 lbs tracking with the food journaling app. My next goals are how to make inroads against being a skinny fat and I am aware that sleep and exercise will be the next two pillars. The motivation is there! I just need to concentrate on how I want to best apply it for myself. Since I am going on almost 2 years of success, I have confidence that I will see results once I start. You helped me create that confidence. Life-changing!

[@SBNewMe]

Hi - absolutely loving your stuff. Some real home truths sinking in. The one thing I think that's missing from the Peter Attia piece on restricting macros to restrict calories (and he may might cover it in the full video) is that the reason to restrict certain groups (especially sugar) is not just to reduce calories, but to reduce the cravings that cause overeating. A problem for some of us, not all of us. Otherwise the low fat diets of the 1980s would have been the global answer. My wife thrives on high carbs and low(ish) fat, whereas I get permanently hungry. I think the individual 'type' applies as much to diet as it does to exercise. Keep those vids coming! 😊

As a lifestyle coach, thank you. I do think that the insulin stimulation component is understated because of vested interests.

I think they focus on that take on IF (aka the wrong take) because that seems to be how most people do it, even though it's incorrect. People just don't seem to want to know the science of how to do it properly.

This video was alot and I'm not sure that's such a good thing. I find you talk really fast and it was way to scientific for me to understand. The other side is: I'm watching this in my insomnia state at 2 a.m so this is not the most patient part of my day and also i have the option to pause, rewind and re watch however, I'm not sure that I will or know if others will. It just maybe over our heads. I write this because I think your information is important. Can I suggest that you make it into 4 series where you can slow your speech and explain in simpler terms.

Hi guys, just my 2 cents as a health professional, however open to feedback:the body fat calculator includes measurement of neck, however everyone’s anatomy may vary (Mine was 4% higher than my Dexa scan when I used the body fat calculator that’s on the link). You’d have a more accurate body fat calculation if you measured your waist, hip and thigh/triceps. A vernier caliper would also be useful. Do it first thing in the morning after you’ve emptied your bladder and bowels as well. Hope this helps!😊

[@j-ronrich4477]

@CoachViva I really enjoyed this video. I have watched it a couple times to take notes and adjust my plan. Something caught my attention, though. At 21:27 You discussed a monthly cycle where even men go through a monthly pattern where the same actions lead to stalled fat loss. I would be curious to know if you have ever compared your data to the lunar calander. Could these be tidal forces? I say this because I work in mental health and a lot of mental health crises coincide with the lunar calendar. Also emergency rooms tend to experience a rush at about the same time of the month. I don't know just curious.

Calorie counting is training wheels. You slowly lift them up as you get more and more confident balancing without them and finally when you don't need them, you are ready for Intuitive Eating. This video explains how to do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDYi62hfKanrdU

[@nimaltra7353]

I didn't get one thing, and that is, after you choose one thing should you expect to stick to that habit consistently before adding another one? Or should you add one either way

[@CoachViva]

Don't add another habit unless your fat loss gets stuck for 3 weeks straight. Be stingy with how many habits you add - only do what's necessary for progress. Maintaining a habit is much harder than starting a new habit because it gets boring.
