What if the reason you keep failing on your diet has nothing to do with food... and everything to do with how you see yourself?

In this episode, I sat down with registered dietitian Andres Ayesta to talk about why fat loss isn’t about finding the perfect meal plan. We talked about how most people chase quick fixes like keto or 75 Hard, but never shift their identity. Andrés shared how he helps clients focus less on perfection and more on becoming the kind of person who lives healthy habits day after day.

We broke down why mindset matters more than macros, why confusion around food is often intentional, and how sustainable results come from building simple routines and aligning your actions with your long-term vision.

Key Takeaways:

People won’t act outside their identity—mindset comes first.
Having a plan after “the plan” is key to sustainability.
Athletes succeed with focus and a growth mindset, not just genetics.

Resources:
