On Today’s Episode:
“Obesity is a choice. This doesn’t mean it’s easy to solve, but it is a choice. YOU MUST accept this or you will never solve this problem.” -Sal Di Stefano
The statement above either has you nodding your head in agreement or has you feeling a bit pissed off. If being overweight has been a recent or even a lifelong struggle for you, it’s hard to hear that you’re actually choosing to be overweight, but when you understand the power of extreme ownership over every area of your life, including your body you may start approaching your health much differently.
Whenever health and weight loss come up, without a doubt diet and exercise are part of the conversation and first on most people’s minds. What if there are other factors more important to not just losing weight, but to keeping the weight off long term? What if exercise isn’t as important as we’ve been told?
This episode with Sal Di Stefano is exposing the lies millions of people fall for that lose weight every year only to gain it back. Why is Sal so confident after 20 years in fitness that obesity is a choice people are repeating day after day?
Sal Di Stefano is the co-founder and CEO of Mind Pump Media, podcast host of Mind Pump dedicated to delivering the absolute raw truth on health and fitness, and the bestselling author of The Resistance Training Revolution.
If you find yourself choosing foods based on taste and convenience, if everything you try to lose weight ultimately leads to more weight gain and you’re over being obese, being unhealthy, and being unhappy with the way you feel, make sure you’re taking action today and asking yourself the one question Sal says will change your life.
QUOTES:
“You have to accept the things that you can’t change, but you also have to take responsibility for the things that you can.”
“Years ago as a trainer, I first started out thinking that losing weight will help people become happy. It took me ten years to figure out, you first had to learn to be happy before you could really lose weight.”
“We use food rarely as a way to nourish ourselves, and rarely do we eat because we’re genuinely hungry. Most people in modern societies never really feel true hunger.”
“The fitness space is riddled with bodies that look ripped that belong to extremely unhealthy, dysfunctional individuals.”
“Obesity is a very outward, visible, obvious sign of poor health or dysfunction.”

Fiber is far more satiating than protein. Drinking a gallon of water is NOT healthy.

It was so much harder for me to quit coffee than cookie, cakes pastries or breads. If I could conquer my love for coffee everything else is piece of cake 😅

Obesity is not always a choice!!! I have seen people struggling with it and they fail, not because they are eating like pigs, as everyone else thinks. I have known obese people who are super active, swimmin and skying and living in gyms and eating right, but still obese. Insulting.

1:12. Think about caring for someone you love.
Another method: I think of my first grade school photo and say, how would you treat that little girl?

Is there another way to hear Sal with this lecture apart from Tom’s podcast?
@Gringabeanpole

Sal is a genius. Period.

Why does Tom have to talk about himself so much? It is his show, but I wish he’d give the guest time to speak.

1:26:42 He says some people have a "strange spike in blood glucose" when eating Avocado, and says Avocado "obviously has no carbohydrates". 🤔 That's no at all true. He's thereby suggesting that Avocado is almost exclusively fat? Yes, Avocado definitely contains healthy fats, but Avocado 100% contains carbohydrate. That's a fact. Him saying, so definitively that Avocado "obviously has no carbohydrates" really makes me want to second guess everything else he says, that I may not have direct knowledge on and haven't fact checked. If he's getting such basic information wrong, and saying it as if it's fact and he's educated on it. I'd imagine this same ignorance bleeds into other topics he's discussed throughout this conversation.

They put highly addictive chemicals in the food which trigger serotonin and dopamine. Those food companies are profit driven. That's why you have to stop eating processed foods because these food manufacturers are savvy. They need you fat to make profits.

In Overeaters Anonymous they say, it's not what you are eating, it's what's eating you. Today though, because of the garbage that is called food, I'd say it is what you are eating.

Good content.
Constructive criticism….less F Bombs would be appreciated. It's unnecessary and an indication of a sparse vocabulary and, through logical extrapolation, lack of education/lower intelligence.
I'm a fan of the subject matter in the video but I exited early. Looking for quality content….not a oratory 4 letter word assault

Loved Sal’s approach more than the, “beast mode mentality. “
Obviously total deprivation is not working for 95% of the population. Definitely “adding” more protein to my lifestyle totally changed everything for me.

This is one of the best, if not, the best interview I’ve seen on this channel. So many truths said and grains of wisdom that it took me ages to learn for myself. Wish I had heard this years ago but glad it’s out there now.

The one thing that get wrong is “I don’t love myself.” We are lovers of SELF. Even depression and suicidal thoughts are self focused. We are always thinking of, planning for and protecting ourselves. The problem is that we don’t care for ourselves or take care of ourselves well.

This is so refreshing to hear. It's hard to be happy when you are set up to fail at unrealistic expectations. Everytime a new diet or fitness guru claims their way is the way and we aren't successful, honestly, we just become more unhappy and filled with despair. This was perfect timing as I'm more accepting of a gentle approach to health that can be sustained.

I liked the content so much. I learned a lot.
Separately, I noticed Tom is always cursing – I didn’t hear his guest Sal Di Stefano swear once.

Spot on Sal! I was a weight loss counselor for 15 years and some of his tactics I used. The deal is to do follow up sessions with clients to have long term weight loss.

What’s the protein intake rule? A gram of protein per pound of your goal weight? Or your actual weight? Example, I weigh 205 and would like to be 180. Is it 205g of protein or 180g of protein?
