Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1896DM Nir Eyal tried every diet. Low fat. Vegetarian. Keto. Intermittent fasting. They all worked until they didn't. The moment someone planted a seed of doubt, he'd spiral into what psychologists call the "What the Hell Effect." One slice of pizza becomes the whole pie. Then the belief sets in: diets don't work. That belief was the real enemy. What changed everything was understanding that all human motivation comes from one thing: the desire to escape discomfort. Time management is pain management. Money management is pain management. Weight loss is pain management. Learn to manage the discomfort, and the game completely changes.

  • Hi,

  • my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the daily motivation show What would be the plan in this motivation triangle from belief behavior and benefit To say I'm actually going to get out of obesity or lose this weight for good What would they need to do?

  • Well, so this is my story.

  • Yeah, first of all,

  • I feel for anyone who's in that situation this and I still have to do this every day I have to think about this.

  • It doesn't just go away.

  • It's still a struggle now I'll tell you what happened to me that from a very young age when I was Very overweight from a young age for a long time and what I did starting back in the 1990s Was I would read whatever diet book was the latest fad so it started with low fat and snack well cookies.

  • That's what I ate all day long because that's how we thought we were losing her.

  • And then after that, I went to a vegetarian diet.

  • It was all tofu and potatoes.

  • And then after that came keto.

  • And that's what I you know, I threw out the potato and tofu and I was all keto all day long.

  • And then after that, I think it was intermittent fasting.

  • And the interesting thing is every diet worked.

  • Every day worked, I would lose weight until it didn't.

  • Because what would happen invariably every single time the reason the yo yo kept going back up and down was that when there was a little bit of doubt,

  • When that doubt crept in, somebody would tell me, oh,

  • vegetarians don't get complete nutrients or keto is bad for your kidneys or whatever.

  • Question it.

  • You're like, huh?
