"Should I eat it or not?"

If you've ever dieted before, you've asked yourself that question.

You want to lose fat as quickly as possible, but you don't want to completely give up higher calorie foods, like dessert.

After a diet, when you can't take the cravings any more, it's easy to binge on junk food.

But not if you ask yourself these three questions.

This simple three-step formula will help you indulge in your favorite foods without bingeing, restricting, or feeling guilty. You'll be able to eat your favorite foods during your diet, without ruining your progress.


You want to be healthy.

You want to be lean.

You want to live as long as possible.

So you eat a healthy diet.

You do your best to keep up with the latest news on what foods are healthy, and which aren't. You read blogs, and learn why some foods contribute to cancer, cause inflammation, and make you fat.

Then you don't eat these foods, even if you love them. You avoid foods you always thought were harmless, like bread, or fruit, or milk. You're scared, just like I was.

What if these foods weren't as bad as you've been lead to believe?

What if you didn't have to live in constant fear of damaging your health, or gaining fat, if you ate a "bad" food?

What if you could finally relax about your diet?

You'll learn the answers to those question in this podcast.


Every diet works, at least in the short-term.

You have friends who’ve lost tens or hundreds of pounds following a special diet. You have other friends who pester you or maybe even make you feel guilty for eating the way you do.

You’re not sure what to believe.

You keep reading, listening, watching, and searching. You’re desperate for a diet that will work for you.

You’re wasting your time. 

In this podcast, you'll learn why most diets fail, and how to use flexible dieting to get the body you want.

We've all had experiences that made us want to throw in the towel. Maybe you gained a ton of weight.

Maybe you binged during a diet.

Maybe you got injured.

Maybe you experienced something far worse, like getting fired, dumped, or losing a loved one.

Most people don't deal with these situations well. They complain, worry, and make things worse.

You can do better. In this interview, you'll learn how to use the ancient practice of stoicism to turn every challenge, disappointment, and obstacle into an opportunity to "express a virtue," as our guest Ryan Holiday says.
