We've heard much about the trap of comparison and competition. But, is comparing and competing always unhealthy? What are the ways we can use C&C to motivate and achieve goals? This is the topic of today's conversation as Eric and Chad spend some time hacking our personal motivators.

How social media has created a comparison culture.

Healthy vs unhealthy competition in exercise (and everywhere else).

Are you playing the game you'll never win?

The 5 ways to use comparison and competition in a healthy manner.

Finding a way to maintain goodwill toward others (even in competitions).

And how to avoid seeing a failure in one area as catastrophic.

Today's question comes from Kelly, BUT it's one that many of you may have as well. She wants to know what to do when the keto weight-loss stall occurs (as it does with everyone).

How we "all hit the stall".

Bringing the protein UP and the fat DOWN.

Can dairy or nuts be the culprit?
