“You want to build a serious relationship with your body and your health and once it starts getting a bit boring and repetitive and the excitement of the honeymoon stage starts to fade away, you know, you're starting to turn this into a lifestyle, right? Because being healthy and fit technically is boring because you have to do very simple things every single day, over and over again.” - Maxime Sigouin

What does it truly take to have a transformed lifestyle? Today, I break down the five stages to highlight the challenges we have to face during the process. By being aware of them, it becomes possible to think about ways to handle the situation better and come out successful in this transition.

Key Quotes

“What's going to happen when you have less body fat is you're also going to be putting on some muscle, right? And if you think of muscle, muscle is heavier than fat, and that's basically going to push the scale number up, while the number of fat decreasing is going to try to bring in the number to scale down.” - Maxime Sigouin

“If you don't accept that it [diet and fitness] will be a part of your life forever, you're just gonna fight it… Fighting it is causing you to waste more energy than the amount of energy you would have to spend doing the actual thing.” - Maxime Sigouin
