Mastering Your Mindset for Real, Lasting Fat Loss with Brian Keane

Brian Keane renowned expert in mindset and weight loss returns as a guest on the podcast to talk with Angela about the difference between discipline and motivation and how your ‘why’ and self-identity are the factors that really make the difference in fat loss He discusses why his philosophy is all about finding a nutritional plan that works for you as an individual and how your mindset around nutrition is more important than the actual diet plan you are on. Random training and random eating mean random results but consistency combined with understanding your ‘why’ and knowing who you are can bring you lasting results   KEY TAKEAWAYS Discipline is consistently doing the things that support you with your goals Every diet out there can work for you if you have the right mindset If you can find a nutrition plan that has foods you enjoy is in alignment with your goals and you can do it alongside exercise you enjoy it’s a massive stepping stone towards success How you feel shouldn’t determine what you do. It’s not about what you do when you feel motivated it’s about what you do consistently over time A restrictive mindset doesn’t help, you need to rewire your mind and change the way you look at foods The goal should be a nutritional plan that works for you, focusing on getting good sleep and doing some form of resistance training The important hormones for fat loss are ghrelin ‘the hunger hormone’, the hormone leptin and cortisol If your stress levels are too high and you are in an inflammatory state and you will not be able to utilise fat for fuel or build muscle Resistance training is a key factor in achieving fat loss and making progress towards your goals Connect with what you want, if body composition is the goal you need to understand the discipline of doing the work to get there Connect with the result and the identity of who you are. Why you do things is what’s important, it’s a means to an end You have to prime your identity for what you want and know there is always a price How much do you want to achieve the goal and what price you are prepared to pay to get it? Consistently doing the right thing and doing more when you are feeling motivated will get you to your goal   BEST MOMENTS ‘When you ‘lean out’ and burn fat you are going to look tight and lean and sexy and have those lovely curves’ ‘You find a way to do what you need to do consistently’ ‘Ask yourself what you want to achieve and then look at what you need to do to get there’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website   The Keane Edge: Mastering The Mindset For Real, Lasting Fat Loss - Brian Keane Brian Keane Fitness   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
