078: The Transformation Timeline - The Valley of Death
About this episode
Stage three, Valley of Death, is a stage where people are struggling to stay on track with their low-carb diet and exercise regimen. Many symptoms of being in this stage include motivation dropping off, cravings for unhealthy foods, and comparing oneself to others. Nate and Kyle recommend that people learn from their past, set realistic expectations, and be patient while working on their health transformation. It is also important to understand that maintenance is not always sexy and that it can take longer than expected to achieve long-term results.
