We've been asked a few times lately,

"Why are you guys doing these trainings for free?"

Well.. Today. We'll tell you. 
We'll both likely get a little emotional..

And maybe a little passionate.

Make your choice:

You're on a journey, traveling along a simple path. You come across a fork in the path..

Both ways are hard.

One will give immediate results...
One will give results over time...

Both of them will make you stronger.
Both of them will make you more condifident.
Both of them will make you feel good.
But only one direction is the RIGHT direction.

Only one of these paths will let you keep those feelings....

Now, admittedly, neither of us are hardcases (truthfully we're kinda softees.)

We're passionate about helping others make strong choices, and make changes that last forever!!

Did I catch your eye with that title?? Yeah.. That's a pretty serious promise right?

We’ve all seen THAT old gimmick. It’s friggin everywhere.

There's a ton of information and ideas out there about how to lose weight quickly, right?

And ya know what, some of them work! 
But most of them don’t… 

And NONE of those gimmicks actually last.

We went ahead and put fire to the one that's MOST common - cutting calories! 

 - Benefits of a calorie restrictive diet! (didn’t expect that either did you?)
- What actually happens to your body on a restrictive diet
- Hope for the future

Have you ever gone on a restrictive diet and felt good about it??

I'm guessing not.. It tends to be pretty terrible in a lot of ways.

Heavy restricting is NOT what we're about at Drop the Fat, Not the Tacos!! So, you should really click here and jump on the non-restrictive, and actually enjoyable, weight loss wagon, yeah?
See ya inside ;)

But ya know, if you're cool with just listening to us here, that's cool too. If you wanna support us so we can keep this stuff coming to ya, we'd appreciate it! You can buy us a coffee (or a taco!) by clicking the link below.

 LET ME COUNT THE WAYS I FAIL ALL THE TIME!!

I ate too much: FAIL
I didn't work out today: FAIL
I got mad at the kids: FAIL
I forgot to prep for a meeting at work: FAIL

Fail, fail, fail, FAIL!!!! 

I'm just a big fat failure with a capitol F!

.....

What if I told you it's all BS; that failure is NOT actually failing?

Today let's dig into:

- What truly constitutes failure on our journey
- A new way to re-think failure
- What doors this new thinking can unlock

Have ever you told yourself you're a failure??

 If you feel the struggle with this... We feel ya. Join us in our Facebook Group to hear more about why you SHOULDN'T feel guilty about not being a winner all the time, and how to stop beating yourself up and actually turn your "fails" into wins!

HOW TO NOT  LOSE WEIGHT - PERMANENTLY! 

"Wait... What??" 

Yeah. Seriously. This is big. 

"Diet" can be a word that screws with our heads. 

It can mean food in a customary or cultural sense..

It can describe a part of a person:
"So-n-so is on a vegan diet."

It can be for prescribed diets like the DASH diet or one for controlling diabetes..

But most know the word "diet" as:
"Temporary and highly restrictive program to "help" you lose weight."

Which happens to be what we are speaking of today!  

Why are we so against this kind of diet?

Or more importantly... 
Why do the people who buy into this always seem to gain it all back??

Well, if we went in depth we'd likely be here all day! 

So lets keep it simple instead. 

First of all look at these simple points! 

- Why Yo-Yo dieting DOES work --> (Hold on again here.. what?!?!) 
- What all those diets REALLY are
- What to do to stabiliize the Yo-Yo effect
- How to be successful and stable for the rest of your life! 

Have you ever tried one of those fad diets and couldn't figure out why your results haven't stuck around??

You aren't alone!!

The first step is always the hardest, right?

Something we hear often is, "I just don't know where to start..."

Sound familiar?? 

So! We wanted to have a chat about some of that. 

- Powerful needle moving ideas 
- Why we should focus on ONE thing at a time
- Thinking less about "what I should be doing?" and more about DOING it.

We're digging in a little today.. And I'm curious. Is taking that first step what is holding you back from making the changes you want? 

If the answer is yes, then listen in, this one is for you. 

ps.
We got bumped from our broadcast today! Fortunately we were recording it in multiple locations! 90% of the information was in this live broadcast thoug, so we are leaving it as is.

Do you represent who or what you really want to be?

What is it that you really want to accomplish in your life?

Do you actually know - really know - without over explaining it, as if you are trying to figure it out yourself?

Most of us have a little idea, sure. But without some level of guidance we tend to kinda ramble on, literally and figuratively, without much direction. 

So today we're shedding a little light on what it means to align yourself with YOURSELF!

- What does it mean to be "aligned"?
- Discover your REAL needs and wants
- Reflect on who you really are
- And why is this SO important for your future??

Today we're diving deep into the scary cave - your mind! 

And hopefully you'll bring a little gem back out.

Can you hear the sound of change ringing yet??

WHY ISN'T THIS HAPPENING FASTER?! 

Ya like seeing results, right? 

Of course. We all wanna it right now!!! 

How fast we SHOULD see results is dependant on a variety of factors:

- Why its different for everyone
- Acceptable immidiate results
- Desirable long term results

 So... Who wants results now?!?
