Yesterday I used the analogy of changing our energy supplier and making some tactical swaps to what we eat.
I often find that making comparisons to how we use that finite resource of money compared to how we use other finite resources such as time, energy and calories………
Can be a powerful one.
The analogies don’t always work perfectly, sure.
But they work better than the way that most people think about their food, time and energy.
So I’ve got another way of looking at it for you now.
Imagine you’ve been overspending.
You were going into debt.
What would you do?
You’d look at what you were spending, wouldn’t you?
And it’s never been easier to do that, has it?
Nowadays, a fairly high proportion of our expenditure can be quickly and easily viewed on an app.
Whether that be Google or Apple Pay or your online banking app.
It’s not that long ago that you’d have to keep a manual note of cash expenditures throughout the week.
It’s literally never been easier to monitor where your money is going and how you can change that.
And it’s literally never been easier to monitor where your calorie expenditure has been going and how you can change that.
A generation ago, nutritional information was hard to come by.
A generation before that, practically impossible.
People had a minimal at best understanding about the implications of their eating decisions.
Nowadays, a high proportion of stuff has a nutritional label on it.
For the stuff that doesn’t, it’s a quick Google away.
And everything we ever consume can be reasonably accurately calculated on an app like MyFitnessPal.
Sure, it’s easier not to do it.
Just like it’s easier not to look at your bank statements or an app.
But it genuinely has never been easier (and getting in shape has never been easier than it is with our programme –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply. Why keep making it harder than it has to be by re-trying the thing that didn’t work long term before?).
If you had a friend who was spiralling into debt and said it was “too much of a faff” to spend a few minutes looking at an app on their phone……..
I’m sure you’d reply with “How easy do you need it to be?”.
And I’d ask the same of a few days of tracking your food intake in order to gain insights and knowledge that you can take forward.
Much love,
Jon ‘Ki Moon’ Hall
