Summary

Yes, there is such a thing as an overly analytical approach to keto and health and fitness goals in general, where you compromise your intuitive abilities and obsess too much on the details. The massive amount of information we are exposed to on a daily basis and can obtain with a few clicks can result in the disease of TMI—too much information! Host Brad Kearns talks about how to avoid the traps of an overly obsessive, overly analytical approach, instead focusing on the big picture items. For example, if you are precise about macronutrient intake guidelines but are skimping on sleep, you don’t pass Go nor collect $200. Instead, cultivate an intuitive approach and trust yourself as the world’s #1 expert on your own diet, fitness and lifestyle practices. Learn from experience and recalibrate without feeling too stressed or like you failed in a quest for perfection.

1:03.4	and the naysayer all getting a powerful voice thanks to the connectivity of the internet. And it
1:10.8	sometimes is a little bit much. I think
1:12.9	it's wonderful to have the incredible breadth and depth of information on a topic of your interest
1:19.7	such as keto. You can get on there and go to town on YouTube videos and blogs and get your
1:25.6	head overwhelmed with all kinds of, for the most part,
1:30.4	thoughtful and helpful information. But then we tip over that balance and we get into this
1:36.4	this sort of guru mode where people are building their platform. They're calling attention to
1:43.8	themselves because that's how
1:44.8	you have to succeed. You have to get that market share, those numbers up. But when we cross over
