Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. My name is Danny Lenin and you are listening to episode 163 of the podcast.

Just before we get started, just to let you guys know that over the next couple of weeks,

we're going to have a couple of pretty massive episodes coming up.

Next week I'm going to be talking with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino of the University

of South Florida, and that'll be followed by a episode with Dr. Kevin Hall from the NIH. And again,

a lot of you will know the relevance of that right now and some of the studies that that group has

been doing, and how particularly in, I suppose, nutritional, the online world

of us that geek out about this stuff, how some of that stuff is very relevant and in the news

lately. So there are two episodes that are going to be coming in the next couple of weeks. So just

make sure you're subscribed to the podcast, whether that be on iTunes, on Stitcher, on whatever app you tend to use, make sure you are subscribed.

And with that, I wanted to just get straight into this episode, because this is going to be just something that I've been thinking about for a while.

And it's came up in a couple of conversations and thought some thoughts and this might be useful. And essentially what I've been thinking about

is when it comes to making progress with really anything, I suppose, any real goal, but most

of my conversations are of course inherently to do with nutrition and therefore say body

composition of that's one's goal or a fitness based goal or they're trying to achieve

something in a certain sport and how the various different metrics at least they

choose for progress why is there a lack of progress sometimes for people?

And so there's all sorts of different areas here that we could touch into.

Obviously, there's a lot of things on the very practical side.

So number one, that approached you're taking, how they're going about that, physically, etc., etc.

But the specific thing I wanted to really dial in on today was just one small aspect of that,

and that was some of the mental limitations that people place on themselves that then cause a lack of progress.
