2023 is fast approaching so in today’s show I am going to suggest you do something radically different to finally lose that weight you have so desperately tried to lose. And it doesn’t involve any of the usual extreme manoeuvres you are accustomed to like… * joining a gym * a bootcamp * a fast * a detox * or some other extreme unsustainable solution. Instead, I am going to suggest you find a weight loss mentor. We have them in other areas of life, yet we don’t have them in this area. And we should. It’s one of the fastest ways to learn so we can achieve long lasting success. In today’s episode I share the 5 critical boxes that must be checked when you are looking for your weight loss mentor. * Box #1 — Has a weight loss story that is similar to what you are looking to lose. * Box #2 — Has sustained that weight loss for at least 3 to 5 years and counting. * Box #3 — Has a methodology that would fit into the context of the life you lead. * Box #4 — Has a program based on principles not prescriptions. * Box #5 — Has a philosophy and values that fits with yours. I share some entertaining stories for each in my attempt to build my case for finding your weight loss mentor. Enjoy!
