“I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.“
I love this quote. Because I’ve always been THAT guy. Trying to find easy ways to do hard things.
Might have also been called ‘lazy’ a couple of times, I don’t know…
There’s another reason I love this quote (more on that later)...
Before we talk weight loss, let’s address something most people forget.
Your lifestyle is changing.
Your work hours are getting longer and unpredictable. You face more work-related stress today than any other generation to ever exist. And your boss expects replies to ‘urgent’ emails at 4 pm on a Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, weight loss advice is getting IMPRACTICAL.
Think about it.
Most dietitians have brainwashed people into thinking that dieting needs to be complex and difficult.
Which is why I often hear things like: "I am supposed to have 7 almonds and a glass of water at 6pm daily." "My old nutritionist made me drink celery juice every morning." " I was asked to eat tofu curry for dinner but I just did not have the energy to cook."
My client Zoya said it best – "[Other] dietitians assume that you have someone full-time who is always available to buy whatever ingredients you need and cook whatever dishes you want."
Sadly, most dietitians have never worked in a cubicle. Or sat through 2 hours of a meeting which could have been an email instead.
And it shows.
This is a diet plan ranked No.1 on Google under ‘Indian diet plan for weight loss':
Most people I know will quit this after 3 weeks. (cucumber detox lol wtf)
And the worst part?
Dietitians will say it’s your fault. You should be ‘motivated’. You need more ‘willpower’.
But I have a different opinion. Have you ever wondered… Maybe dietitians are the real problem? Maybe dietitians give impractical advice? Maybe dietitians set you up for failure by giving plans you can’t follow easily?
Having cucumber water at 6.30 am might work for some people. Not me.
Instead.
Imagine this for a second...
Is it possible to achieve the physique of your dreams without asking your cook to prepare quinoa salad? Or WORSE – preparing it yourself.
Is it possible to lose weight in a stress-free manner? No shopping for kale, brussel sprouts, purple cabbage etc.
Is it possible to look at yourself in the mirror with pride? Without interrupting your 5 pm meeting for a dietitian-prescribed snack.
My client Abhinav said it best – "I don’t want to change MY lifestyle. I want my diet to fit my lifestyle."
As a ‘lazy’ person, I have tried to create a better solution. More on the next page…
