The Golden One - Lose Fat With Plato – Mental Technique to Resist Cravings

00:00:00.000 Greetings Laddingtons! I'm checking in with a quick video that will hopefully be helpful in

00:00:11.820 your path, in your quest to sculpt a heroic physique. So I've gotten a good few questions

00:00:17.280 regarding it, regarding cutting weight, cutting fat, getting shredded for summer. So I'll try

00:00:24.240 to keep it as brief as possible because the mental technique I would like to share is

00:00:28.980 beautiful in its simplicity. So basically when you start getting leaner you will notice that

00:00:36.780 avoiding hunger isn't all too difficult really. You can just increase the protein intake if you want

00:00:43.240 but the main challenge is to resist temptations and cravings. So perhaps you have eaten and you feel

00:00:51.920 full in your body but your mind, your brain, tells you to eat a bit more. So if you can take the

00:00:58.660 platonic tripartite soul and you have Eros, one of the horses who wants to bloat Max, he wants to eat a lot

00:01:08.120 and of course it's natural that part of your soul or part of your physiology wants to eat more. So you

00:01:16.720 put on some fat so you can survive in certain situations. So it's normal but it's something you

00:01:24.060 would the driver of the chariot. He wants to be in control. So your rational part of your soul wants to

00:01:32.600 be in control and says you know what we need to go in this direction so my dear horse named Eros here

00:01:38.580 you need to go in this direction. So what happens then when you get these cravings, these urges to eat

00:01:46.660 after you are already full. So you're not hungry anymore but you get these insane cravings of

00:01:52.580 well it depends from person to person but it can be some sort of sweet, some sort of pastry

00:01:57.720 or whatever. I'm sure you know yourself what you are susceptible to. So anyway what you need to do

00:02:05.660 is simply to replace the image of in my case perhaps I am having a craving of an Arraxboll which is a

00:02:14.240 traditional Swedish pastry which I do enjoy. I do enjoy in moderation. I eat every once in a while

00:02:20.660 so I don't binge on it but say I am in a position where I need to get shredded to take some pictures

00:02:27.300 or whatever so I know that I can't eat certain things at a certain time then I simply replace the image

00:02:34.240 that appears in my mind. I replace that with the following what do you want to look like. So if you want

00:02:41.680 to look like a certain statue or an actor say Gerard Butler in 300 or Brad Pitt in Troy or whatever it might be

00:02:50.680 just project that image boom there you have Leonidas with a nice physique you know he's shredded everything

00:02:57.680 like that. Project that image boom the minute your craving appears in your mind and then you can actively choose.

00:03:05.680 You have your chariot you have the two horses and the driver and then the driver which is your rational part

00:03:11.820 says okay let's go in the direction of what we want to look like. So that can so you always present

00:03:20.120 yourself with the option with the choice of what do I want. Do I want this craving? Do I want this pastry?

00:03:27.420 Or do I want to look in a certain way? So again I don't want you to starve yourself. You shouldn't be

00:03:33.700 hungry even. Sometimes of course you also need to go hungry but the the main challenge I've always

00:03:39.880 found is to you know stay clear of temptations and these the allure of eating when you're already

00:03:49.300 full in your body. So it's not hunger per se that is the annoying part it's the craving that you get

00:03:56.640 after sometimes in the evening and this is also why intermittent fasting is quite a good

00:04:03.060 a good weapon to to slay these demons of temptation so that you have eaten your dinner

00:04:09.740 and then you decide I don't eat anything beyond this point because I know that for myself also and for a lot of

00:04:16.640 guys the issue is the late night cravings that it would be damn nice to eat whatever it might be

00:04:24.740 but if you know that dinner is the last meal and then you don't eat anything beyond that point

00:04:29.140 it's it's a lot easier. So anyway good stuff good stuff I hope it helps and do check out all links
