Summary
I've got another powerful book club episode for you today! Several years ago, I read the book The Four Agreements and recently realized there was a new book, The Fifth Agreement.
After re-reading The Four Agreements & listening to The Fifth Agreement, I knew I need to share my thoughts on fat loss and The Four Agreements.
The subtitle of the first book is A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom and I think that's such a great way to describe the quest for our ideal body & incredible health.
We want to be free from food obsession. We want to be free from emotional eating, overeating, fear of missing out, guilt, deprivation & everything in between.
I'm excited to share my thoughts on the book and how we can apply these agreements to accelerate our progress towards our goals!
Fat Loss & The 4 Agreements
In today's episode we apply The 4 Agreements to health, happiness and fat loss. The 4 agreements include:
- Be impeccable with your word
- Make no assumptions
- Take nothing personally
- Always do your best
The 5th Agreement
- Be skeptical but learn to listen

| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:24.3 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:27.9 | I am Elizabeth Benton and today we are diving into another book club episode. |
| 0:33.7 | We've done a few of these where I share my major takeaways from some of my favorite books or |
| 0:38.5 | books I've read recently. We started with the book Always Hungry Several Months Back and I've |
| 0:43.4 | done a couple since then I am an avid reader. But most of what I read is not about health or fat |
| 0:51.2 | loss or nutrition. However, I'm always finding what I think are really powerful parallels, |
| 0:57.9 | ideas and strategies that when we apply them to what we eat or how we care for our bodies or |
| 1:02.9 | how we think we really accelerate our progress towards our goals and I read a lot of books and |
| 1:10.2 | most of them I don't feel like oh my gosh I have to share this but when I do feel that way I want |
| 1:15.5 | to bring it to the podcast and so I'm doing that today. Several years ago I read a book called |
| 1:23.4 | The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and I thought it was a great book right and there has |
| 1:31.0 | recently come out the fifth agreement also by Don Miguel Ruiz and so it kind of had me going back |
| 1:38.7 | to the original The Four Agreements and looking over it. So the Four Agreements which is the first |
| 1:43.7 | book is marketed as a practical guide to personal freedom. A practical guide to personal |
| 1:51.5 | freedom so I'm not at all about health or fat loss specifically but I think that most of us |
| 1:58.5 | could appreciate some personal freedom in our journey to our healthiest selves. I know for me |
| 2:06.0 | I for most of my life was totally exhausted by my obsession with food. My obsession with weight |
| 2:12.7 | loss and dieting and with fitness I didn't want it to feel so hard I didn't want it to take up |
