After drinking soda every day for years, it tasted like water. After quitting drinking soda for a few weeks, it tasted like syrup and battery acid.

Jocko is the best. He understands us and doesn't just degrade.

Regardless of what excuse “injuries” you have to not workout, the pool is your ultimate game changer. Even if you’re 500 lbs, get in the shallow end of the pool and do arm circles in the water until you’re gassed.

My kids: "we don't like this food"
Me: "that just means you aren't hungry enough."

[NycDelivers]

lost 114 lbs in 7mo fasting, cut all sugar, walked everyday, pushups till my arms hurt, everyday. diet is everything though

[Glitchfaction]

I once asked a guy who lost 75lbs how he did it. He said “Move around more and stop putting so much shit in my mouth.”

Some of the best diet advice a person can give.

[Wruce_Bayne]

Jocko talks about donuts like they used to regularly mug him when he was a kid

[almor]

Until I gave up sugar and grains, I had no idea that the anxious, desperate starvation I used to feel ISN'T hunger. It's addiction. 3 months into a whole foods diet, I feel fantastic. I'm exercising every day without DOMS and decades of Depression have just melted away! Fasting plus Exercise plus Keto = Perfect combination.

[Adam-qsir]

100 percent right. You have to start moving. Started moving 2 years ago and lost 90lbs. Walking may seem like a 'weak' exercise, but if you're sedentary it will burn calories exponentially more than your current routine. It also builds muscle and allows you, over time, to step up the activity. Diet is the other key, track what you put into your body. If you don't know what you're putting in you have no idea what your baseline is.

[aydneu]

Verbalizing weak thoughts, which mostly lead to weak actions is freaking powerful.
I do this every time, when I really dont want to work out. Its kinda weird that i have to laugh about myself and those thoughts and just get to work afterwards.
Really helps!

[gregbuck]

My dad was a 50s era body used to say some pretty wise stuff about dieting, "loosing weight is so simple. Reduce the intake! And keep the same workouts going. Weight will peel off quick." Mind over matter, ....if you don't mind, it don't matter. Mr. Willink....thank you for your service.

[Booster]

started back on intermittent fasting and introduced keto again, started a push/pull routine at home using a bodyweight routine and a daily brisk walk for 30 mins....feel great!!

[thoyo]

Drink a gallon of water per day. I'm telling you, it really puts hunger in check.
Also, you start feeling much better and are more sensitive to how bad food and sugar saps you of energy.

[CheeMagnus]

Jocko and martial arts transformed my health. In the best shape of my life after two kids. Forever thankful for Jocko and the gift he is to humanity.

[mninawamoyeni]

Jocko Podcast increases my testosterone by 300% everytime i listen to him!!

[rtbd]

Imagine it’s your first wrestling match and you’re up against Jocko’s kid, and he’s in the stands

[MVProfits]

"You're not gonna die if you don't eat now. Just be tougher. What's wrong with you" "Imagine having to announce your stupid pathetic cravings to the world". Good stuff I've used in the past for sure.

[jetto]

Just started watching these podcasts, man I'm obsessed. Haven't touched any sugar and started getting up at 5am and working out.

I. Feel. Amazing.

Seriously guys just those changes alone make a big difference. Anytime I dont feel like it, I just tell myself to Get. It. Done. (in Jocko style)

[marksmith]

I'm a fifty year old weightlifter that has never had to worry about diet till now.Now my body is telling me that the junk I've eaten for years is no longer compatible with my body.Im going through this right now and needed to hear this today.Every other addiction from Alcohol to cigerettes to other things has fallen by the wayside.In saying that suger still stands as the last addiction to fall.I attribute it to the fact that it's our oldest addiction.
