Summary
Stage three, Valley of Death, is a stage where people are struggling to stay on track with their low-carb diet and exercise regimen. Many symptoms of being in this stage include motivation dropping off, cravings for unhealthy foods, and comparing oneself to others. Nate and Kyle recommend that people learn from their past, set realistic expectations, and be patient while working on their health transformation. It is also important to understand that maintenance is not always sexy and that it can take longer than expected to achieve long-term results.

| 0:00.0 | And that's why the point of these these episodes in this podcast to make sure that you're thinking |
| 0:05.2 | and the people listening that your reality is lined up with what you're doing. And unfortunately, |
| 0:11.5 | we live in a society that does not do good at making reality lining up with your goals. |
| 0:17.7 | They want you to make you think that, oh, you can get Facebook on or face two results, you know, |
| 0:21.7 | every time. And if you're not, something's wrong, take this pill and you'll keep losing. Do this, |
| 0:25.9 | do that, do this, do that. But that's not true. That's not true. |
| 0:29.6 | Low carb hustle. You are listening to the low carb hustle podcast where we help you burn fat and |
| 0:37.3 | put some muscle behind that low carb hustle. Here's your host, Nate Palmer. All right, Kyle, |
| 0:43.6 | we're back. We're back for phase three. We're talking about the five stages of the transformation |
| 0:49.6 | timeline. So we already talked a couple episodes ago about escaping the black hole, the initial start, |
| 0:54.0 | you know, the trigger moment and then how do we how do we start our journey? |

| 1:10.5 | ourselves to others. And then we end up in this stage. This is the valley of death phase three. |
| 1:16.5 | And I think there's a ton of people here. And I would say probably 90% of the people that I work with |
| 1:21.6 | are in this stage. And I think that the million dollar body program is the thing that is super |
| 1:27.0 | exceptional, helping people get from stage three to stage four. Like there's like it has other |
| 1:31.0 | implications and it's good for a lot of other things. But this is really like the meat potatoes |
| 1:36.1 | of what we do and how we help people. So I'm really excited to get into this because even though |
| 1:40.4 | stage three valley of death is very frustrating, it could cause a lot of people a lot headaches. |
| 1:44.8 | I think we've gotten good at talking about it, figuring it out, troubleshooting, problem-solving |
