Lose Weight For Good!

Re-train your brain and never diet again. Diets ask you to fight your surroundings with willpower. This course changes the systems underneath instead — your beliefs, your vision, your commitments, and your rooms.

You do not have a willpower problem

Your life is perfectly engineered to give you the results that you are currently getting. If you want different results, start working on that engineering.

That is not a criticism. It is the most useful news in this course, because engineering is something you can change. Effort is not the missing ingredient — the design is. And the design comes in two layers, which is why updating only one of them never holds.

  • Your internal operating system

    The system running on the inside: your thoughts and your beliefs, and the words, habits, and values that grow out of them. A computer running an old operating system does not need to try harder. It needs an update. So do you.

    Update your internal OS

  • Your external operating system

    The system running around you: your environment — the rooms you live in, the routes you drive — and the company that you keep. These decide more of your day than you notice, precisely because you stopped noticing them.

    Update your external OS

That is the whole idea. Update the systems, and the better choice stops requiring a decision.

The core curriculum

Fifteen sessions in five movements. Knowing more was never the problem — these rebuild the systems that decide what you actually do.

All 15 sessions

  1. Part 1

    Update Your Operating Systems

    Why knowing more has never been the problem, and what actually has to change instead.

  2. Part 2

    Build the Lighthouse

    Beliefs are the foundation, vision is the tower, purpose is the light. Build the destination before you sail toward it.

  3. Part 3

    Leave the Shore

    A destination in your mind is useless until you cut the mooring lines and commit.

  4. Part 4

    Sail the Boat

    Energy, habits and the elephant brain — the daily mechanics of getting where you said you were going.

  5. Part 5

    Update the Systems

    Eating, fitness, and the For Good! system that keeps what you have already won.

The whole alphabet

A shorter way in. Awareness comes first, because nothing else works without it. Zeal comes last, because it is what makes you use the other twenty-five.
