Key Points made by Kevin:
- Most of success is mastering your inner psychology.
- Psychology is about 80% of the process for weight loss and health success.
- There are psychological triggers and physiological triggers.
- Mindless madness – mindless eating and being disconnected from food is a big problem.
- Pattern paralysis – how to break away from common patterns that sabotage your health, like always eating dessert after dinner.
- Nutritional poverty is a big physiological trigger.
- Cutting calories can cause you to starve at the cellular level triggering you to eat more and even binge eat.
- Sugar stressing can be both a physiological trigger and a psychological trigger.
- Relying too much on will power will easily and quickly deplete your will power and cause you to fail.
- A common form of subconscious sabotage is defeating yourself before even getting started.
- The Adverse Childhood Experiences study proved that past psychological experiences are directly correlated to present disordered eating.
- Getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night on a regular basis will cause your body to start functioning like a Type 2 Diabetic.
- Poor sleep will cause you to be 20% less full and 30% more hungry. This is why you cannot lose weight if you’re not getting great sleep.
