Key Points
- The best nutritional strategy is one that fits into your lifestyle and schedule, includes foods that you enjoy, and you can stick to over the long-term.
- The best nutritional plan is the one that doesn’t really feel like a diet but is in alignment with your goals.
- Habits that you’ve been doing for the last three months are considerably easier to change than ones you’ve been doing for the last three years. And they are not even close to being easier to change than ones you’ve been doing for 30 years.
- You’re getting exactly what you want regardless of how clear you are on that – conscious or subconscious.
- It’s considerably easier to maintain muscle and do endurance events than it is to build muscle and do endurance events. The reason for that is, these are goals that are pulling from opposite sides.
- Building mental strength is largely down to conditioning yourself to do the things you need to do regardless of how you feel.
