Summary

“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?

I'm really excited to have the man behind Mind Pump Media, Sal DeStefano, joining me for today's

0:06.2

episode. Sal is known for giving the raw truth about health and fitness. He's all about

0:11.6

delivering truth and exposing lies in this crazy industry. From his podcast, Mind Pump, with

0:17.6

millions of downloads a month, to his book, The Resistance Training Revolution,

0:22.7

Sal is helping men and women spot the fitness lies and see what it truly takes to achieve

0:28.4

long-lasting health. Sal explains the top two drivers he identifies in your ability to lose weight

0:34.5

and get healthy, and neither one is diet or exercise, which I'm telling

0:39.0

you sounds as crazy as it is. We talk about why millions of Americans lose weight every year,

0:45.5

but fewer than 50,000 people actually maintain their weight loss. If you're making food choices

0:51.2

based on taste and convenience instead of what it does to your body,

0:54.6

or if you're doing a ton of cardio and not seeing the results that you want, or you haven't embraced

1:00.0

the brutally difficult truth that obesity and poor health is ultimately a choice that you're

1:06.0

making every day, then this episode is going to blow you away. And if you hear even one tip you can implement

1:28.1

their full potential. I'm Tom Villiers and welcome to Impact Theory.

1:33.6

Obesity is a choice. This doesn't mean it's easy to solve, but it is a choice. You must accept this

1:40.3

or you will never solve this problem. Yeah. I agree with that wholeheartedly and I know how much

1:46.6

you care about people so I don't want people shutting down or thinking that you're being a jerk.

1:50.5

It's just like this is a problem that you can unwind and it is a problem that you created for

yourself. Again, lies abound, lies in the food pyramid, lies that we tell ourselves, lies that our parents
