“I told myself, regardless of how bad I mess up, I just need to get back on track...If I stopped trying, then my chances would fall to zero.

“It's [having a healthy lifestyle] definitely the opposite of what you think.

“If you've fasted, it's very important. If you ate breakfast before, you can wait a little bit...but if you train faster, you definitely want to have some of your amino acids and carbohydrates after your workout.” - Maxime Sigouin

“Veganism opened a whole new world to me in terms of different ways of living of compassion and empathy because as I progressed in my vegan journey, I started to develop more empathy and compassion obviously for animals but also for other people around me. I started becoming more in tune with my emotions. I started to realize that there's a different way of living - that we don't have to constantly be living this way.” - Maxime Sigouin

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! In this episode, I will finally discuss my transformational journey from farming to becoming a vegan coach.

“Once I started the process of becoming skinny, and I started watching those documentaries with heart disease and cancer and I was like holy shit, this does make sense because my grandfather passed away from cancer and it was eating a really unhealthy diet and it was at a time when my little cousin got cancer as well and like there was so many connections that were made in my brain.” - Maxime Sigouin

“If you try to have 100% compliance, because every time there's a failure, people tend to go backwards, which makes the process so much longer than if you're just trying to stay compliant 80% of time, right? So that percentage number is just about setting yourself up for success or for failure.” -  Maxime Sigouin

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, I will be talking about the dangers of the either 0% or 100% mindset with the actions we make and how showing up consistently without necessarily being at a 100% is far better than quitting. It is not uncommon for those on the journey towards transformation acquiring the feeling of inadequacy and falling deeper to such a mentality, but by embracing discomfort and loving the process, it is possible to make the steps more doable and failures more bearable for us. 

In this episode, we cover  

[00:01 - 02:21] How Perfection can be Self-Limiting

Key Quotes

“You know what, I just need to take imperfect action and adjust along the way, which I believe is one of the really critical skills in order to be successful.” -  Maxime Sigouin

“Therefore, by definition, you have to change in order for these things to change. [Having] training and nutrition is just a symptom of who you are - your thought patterns, your belief and your value system. And so if we want to have this outcome, you have to change in order for you to change some of those.Those thought patterns, belief systems, values have to change. And that's something that's really hard to take on. But that's what's needed in order to be successful in a transformation.” -  Maxime Sigouin

“It's important to focus on listening to your body, think about how it's responding, and what you're getting out of it. It's really easy to be inspired by other people, and to think that that's gonna work for you. And it's the person, it's problematic when you're inspired by one person's process, because their path is probably different than yours. And also their bodies are different from yours.” - Giacomo Marchese

Key Quotes

“It's about something bigger than ourselves. And it's not even about the team or the individual. It's the passion, that we have a message out there of compassion, as a collective.” - Giacomo Marchese

“Some of the bad habits will just disappear, some of them will stick. And as you discover which one to stick in, you start to ask yourself, why you look at your look at, like, what's triggering that, and you do a little bit of that work. But good habits are simple. And it starts with the basics.” - Giacomo Marchese

“Sometimes when you're a little too flexible, you start to make excuses for yourself. And it can be hard to get out of that kind of cycle. So if you say to yourself, like my goal is not negotiable, then the logical process is that you will find a path to get there that won't consume you. And it will be a healthy path. And you'll still get the same exact results, probably better because you won't be stressed out.” - Giacomo Marchese

“I think the missing key for a lot of people is that it's [goal] not in alignment with who they are and what they actually want.

And then once you've found that way, then yes, it'll require effort, but it'll be smooth, and it'll flow.” - Maxime Sigouin
