#203: Focus on data not feelings with Craig McDonald
I had such an interesting conversation with a friend of mine last week about her unexplained weight gain.
She messaged saying Kit, I've gained 4kgs in the last few months and I just don't know why. Should I be doing more cardio??
I asked her if she'd been tracking her food and she said no, but I feel like I don't eat badly...
I remember when I first met Craig and he would say, “Focus on the data, not your feelings.”
Tracking really helped me get out of the emotions and actually look at the facts. This showed me where I was going wrong, which allowed me to make the correct changes so I could reach my body and health goals.
So, in this episode, Craig and I chat about:
➡️How the data doesn’t lie
➡️Belief vs reality
➡️Taking extreme ownership
➡️How data leads to a result
➡️What data points we use with our clients
➡️How consistency leads to results
➡️Taking imperfect action
