[00:30] About Jonathan Shane’s Journey To The Health Space Growing up, Jonathan developed the subconscious feeling of not being in control of his relationship to food. He started emotional eating, and at age 14, he was 260 pounds with a 50-inch waist. Jonathan’s doctor told him that he was killing himself. So, he decided to lose weight. After cutting fat from his diet, he lost 100 pounds. However, his hormones were out of whack. Jonathan’s binge eating tendencies built up because his ghrelin and leptin were all over the place. Eventually, Jonathan found the ketogenic diet. He went nine months without relapsing on his bulimia when Jonathan started keto. Tomorrow will be three years since his last relapse. [05:35] The Importance of Faith In Order To Have A Mental, Physical, and Overall Health Transformation Humans are powerful creatures, and most of us don't realize what we're capable of as human beings. However, we are innately broken in terms of a moral construct. It’s hard to build something on our own that is sustainable long-term. A higher power will help create a moral construct. It's absolutely huge to have faith in something bigger than yourself. [11:55] You Have To Work Inside Out When It Comes To Losing Weight and Having More Energy True change starts with identity. People have this really bad habit of thinking that the outside actions are going to change their hearts. True pure faith will produce the desire to do the right thing. First, you need to let your internal identity change. So, it’s time to create an identity where you accept and love who you are. Outward change is a temporary fallacy, and inward change is what manifests long-term growth. [15:50] The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Trying The Keto Diet The first mistake people make is fasting out of pressure and not doing it off of innate hunger signals and satiation. A lot of people develop really bad relationships with food, even if they've never had them. Many people abuse fasting. Instead, you should be listening to your body and letting your body guide you on what fasting should look like. Another mistake people make on keto is not eating enough fat. Also, you should not overconsume fat when trying keto. Eight hundred calorie coffees are not the way to go. [19:40] What Are Healthy Keto Products? Tips For Shopping At The Grocery Store Always start on the outer part of the store. Avoid everything that is white. Meats and colored vegetables are what you should stick with. You shouldn’t stroll through the aisles of the grocery store. We are marketed to want the more attractive things first. The farthest part of the store is the meat section – there’s a reason for that. Lastly, watch out for seed oils. [25:15] Are You Having Trouble Sticking With A Keto Lifestyle? Jonathan Has Advice For You First, start internally. Then, work on the external. You need a ‘why’ for trying the keto lifestyle. Jonathan says you should be able to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet 90% of the time. The only way you can do this is by having a why. The only way you can maintain your weight loss is by changing your identity. Also, Jonathan says you need to work on stress management. Lastly, it’s time to stick with your food list. You can find Jonathan’s list here: https://www.theketoroad.com/ [29:55] What Keto Can Do To Transform Your Health Completely To lose weight, you have to change your habits completely. When you change your habits, you will have a total mindset shift. Jonathan has had a client that lost 200 pounds. She is always chasing the better version of herself. Anybody can lose weight on keto as long as they work on an identity switch. It’s time to innercise before you exercise. [33:45] You Need To Incorporate A Fitness Protocol With A Keto Lifestyle You don’t need fitness to lose weight. However, physical activity is a pillar for long-term success. Your body needs activity for healthy joints and bone density. You want to maintain healthy muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue. Many people make exercise excuses. If you want to exercise, then you will find time to do it. [38:20] There’s No Finish Line – You Can Continue To Grow A keto lifestyle is a continual race. You aren’t going to be perfect. If you are perfect, there is no room to get better. So, every single day is an opportunity to improve. A lot is going on in the world right now. All you can do is control your response to your environment. AND MUCH MORE!
