<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Points</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The single biggest mistake that Larry has seen in people who want to lose weight is jumping from one thing to another and not sticking to a plan or program. Habits take several weeks to form, and if you fall off the wagon after only a few days or even a few weeks, you’re essentially back to square one. In fact, you’re actually digging yourself into a deeper hole, which will continue to get deeper the more you pivot from something that you’ve just begun. It’s a hole characterized by more anger, more confusion, and less motivation to bounce back.</li>
<li>If you’re looking to lose weight, get professional support as soon as possible. You’d take your car to a mechanic if there’s a problem, or call in an electrician if an appliance isn’t working. Why not do the same with your body? Or to use another metaphor, doing a program without help is like taking a tour in an unknown place by yourself as opposed to hiring a tour guide.</li>
<li>Weight loss (and weight gain too, for that matter) is far more than sets and reps and macros. Limiting yourself to these surface-level factors reduces the sustainability of your program, severely limits your lifestyle choices, and strains your mental and emotional reserves over time. You can have the greatest workout program and meal plan on paper, but if your fitness and nutrition regimen is built at the expense of your lifestyle and long-term mental health, “looks good on paper” is all it really is.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powerful Quotes by Larry</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>When you start dealing with Dr. Google and going down that rabbit hole, there’s an argument for absolutely everything being right and wrong on the internet and you can go down so many rabbit holes.</li>
<li>It’s such a crazy world because we’re trying to sell on emotions and a lot of people are looking for marketing tactics as opposed to educational tactics. We just need to cut through the bullshit because there’s so much of it being given out to people at the moment.</li>
<li>If you’re doing a program on your own, that’s like taking a tour yourself, versus getting the tour guide who’s going to give you the full experience.</li>
<li>We need to challenge people’s beliefs around food, and to do that, rather than just labeling foods, we also need to create awareness around foods.</li>
<li>You can’t work externally till you start working internally.</li>
<li>I don’t think I’m a deep thinker. I just simplify my life and reduce that paralysis-by-analysis. I give myself two seconds to think about whether or not something adds value and that’s my clear-cut answer on what I need to do.</li>
</ul>
