AI take Takeaways

Exercise alone is rarely enough to lose fat; fat loss is dependent on energy balance.

Basal metabolic rate and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) have the biggest impact on energy expenditure.

Calorie tracking is not accurate, even for professionals, and consistency is key.

Using a meal plan can help create consistency and identify if adjustments are needed.

Adopting a growth mindset and seeking support can lead to long-term success.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. I had a very lovely message this morning
0:07.4	from someone who was saying that they listened to the podcast for around 18 months. So much of the
0:13.5	advice resonated and they tried, I don't know why I'm trying to read it in like a different
0:18.6	tense. I'm just going to read the actual message.
0:26.6	So much of the advice resonated and I've tried changing things but couldn't quit the restrict slash binge cycle. I've always felt that's just how my life would always be. I bit the
0:33.2	bullet and I signed up to the most recent intake of commit six and I wish I hadn't been sitting it. I wish I hadn't been sitting in my, I wish I hadn't been sitting in my, it hadn't been sitting in my basket for so long.
0:43.5	Wow, why was that so hard to read? It feels different this time. I'm implementing much of the stuff I'd tried before, but with the amazing resources and support, it actually
0:54.2	feels like it's sticking. And it goes on to say some more. But the real point I want to make here
0:59.7	is it feels different. And the point of it's one thing listening to this stuff. It's one thing
1:05.1	getting your head around it. It's one thing kind of buying into this. Okay, right, this is long
1:09.0	term. This is, I don't need to over-restrict.
1:12.0	But it's a very different thing implementing that. And that's often where coaching comes in.
1:19.5	In fact, I would say that literally is where coaching comes in, right? If you just needed the
1:24.5	information, I'd be like, just listen to the podcast. Go and implement it all yourself. But if you need some help to actually do that, which most people do,
1:33.2	because that's the hard part, right? Knowledge alone doesn't really get you very far. It's the
1:37.7	application of that knowledge to you in your situation and then the support to actually help
1:43.2	you action it. That's what coaching is about so if you
1:47.1	are also someone who is just a listener to the podcast and maybe you're not getting the results that you
1:52.0	want this person and this is probably the most frequent feedback we get on commit to six is i wish i had
2:00.7	started sooner.
2:02.2	Another just brilliant note that I wanted to talk about before I get into the juice of this
2:07.1	episode, which is going to be all about one of the most common questions that I get, which is
