I started following strategies in atomic habits MAy 2020. I've lost closer to 72+lb and keeping it off over last few years

in 2014 I made a New Years resolution to stop drinking diet soda. I have not had a single sip since. I think it depends on how big and how you mentally prepare yourself leading up to making the resolution. it was a mind game for me because I needed a marker and New Years sometimes can be that for people.

thirty years I stopped cold turkey with smoking as a preparation for pregnancy ; never touched a cigaret again.

I changed my habits by changing my identity. Definitely work on becoming the person I want to be

Can you please share more. I want to do this but I am not sure how.

I watch the Zoe podcasts a lot. I love the common sense approach to giving us non scientific types useful and relevant information. I agree with some of the comments here, this is one of the best interviews so far. Thank you Zoe 😊

I came downstairs early this morning with my copy of Atomic Habits ready to start the exercises I’d been reading about before I went to sleep over the last several nights. I picked up my phone and noticed a YT notification for a new Zoe podcast and was torn - do I do this scheduled activity, or do I indulge in the podcast before getting down to it? Then I noticed the subject and recognised the face. I wholeheartedly recommend James’ book, Atomic Habits, for anyone interested in becoming a better version of themselves in any way. It’s easy to read and understand, and contains great exercises to carry out to get you on your way. I first read this a year ago and have the audiobook and a physical copy. My kitchen has been a different place to step into and my enjoyment of cooking vastly improved. Still have several things to work on but I’m doing so one step at a time. Thanks James, and thanks to Zoe for bringing James’ advice to an even wider audience.

Which is such a helpful mindset when looking to achieve a goal, such as fat loss, because it takes time. The other day, I said to my husband that every step in the right direction gets you closer to the goal. I try to focus on individual actions rather than stepping on the scale constantly to look for proof that my steps matter.

And getting outside every morning in the SUN in NATURE to move your body EARTHING as I do in my bare feet and include resistance in your life daily as well.

@kcjd8659 🤔 what are you talking about? Well, you could be AI as far as one can tell online anyway. Bah!

02:48 It is quite easy to change a habit. You do it all the time. You're changing your behaviour constantly based on the room or the people that you're around. What's quite difficult is to design your behaviour to your liking. To build and maintain successful habits, you need to: 1) Set identity driven goals. 13:02 The real reason why habits matter is that *_every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become._* 13:08 Habits are the way in which you embody a particular identity. Focus on the identity or the lifestyle instead of the result. For examples: - Instead of thinking 'I want to be a person who have a six packs abs', thinking that 'I want to be a person who never miss workout'. - Instead of thinking 'I want to be a person who weight 50 kgs', thinking that 'I want to be a person who eat fruits instead of junk foods.' That way, you'll feel successful everytime you hit the gym or eat fruits, and not waiting until you achieve the desired weight loss or body shape. 2) 15:15 Change your habit over time based on the seasons of your life. For example: In college, you want to be a person who were physically active, so you hit the gym 4x a week 1 or 2 hours each time. After entering the work market, you become more busy. To still be active physically, you need to adjust your workout habit. Maybe you hit the gym at night after working hour instead of in the morning. Maybe you squeeze your training into HIIT instead of cardio to get more result, etc. 27:24 _4 Laws of Behavioural Change:_ 1) 27:31 Make it *_obvious_* 2) 27:42 Make it *_attractive_* 3) 27:52 Make it *_easy_* 4) 28:01 Make it *_satisfying_* 29:30 To break a bad habit you need to inverse the above laws: 1) Make it invisible 2) Make it unattractive 3) Make it difficult 4) Make it unsatisfying

Atomic Habits is a great book. After I read that one, I read another book that quotes James Clear quite a bit, "The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most" by Craig Groeschel

A lot of poor eating habits are due to stress. Too much caffeine, alcohol, or sugar...and even certain unhealthy fats can get addicting...but sugar is a big culprit in spiking dopamine and insulin. It then becomes a loop: stressed ---> eat sugar, drink caffeine -----> greater stress -----> more sugar, more caffeine...and on and on. Mindfulness meditation seems to help me. The workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels is cool, and goes with Atomic Habits pretty well I thought.

Great video. It would've been nice to hear more from Federica too. Think I might purchase Atomic Habits now. 😊

Great video! This is information that I need, thank you ❤

Habits take a lifetime- brilliant.

This is just what I needed to hear today to build on what I’ve started the past couple of years. Thank you thank you! Just what I need.

This conversation was one of the best I’ve listened to recently! I had many take away moments and I’m feeling hopeful about modifying my lifestyle as I move towards a more healthful future! Thank you Zoe team and guests for providing such great insights in your vlogs. ❤

one of the most resonating eureka moments for me was min 53 ... I no longer need to take omeprazole daily and only struggle if I eat some of my old favourites ... I don't think of them as forbidden but when I revisit them I find they just weren't worth the indigestion ... I've graduated from Zoe 403 and exploring the new 100 bacteria update on the app - loving the journey - so glad I found you

Great conversation, great guests, great tips . Many thanks to you all and specially to James for sharing with us his knowledge on building habits 🙌

I was just listening to this while going for my daily walk. I am trying to create a habit of walking 10k or more steps daily 😊 Terrific listen and it helped give me some perspective and tips how I should go about creating this new habit from being rather sedantary the past few years

Wonderful advice and I can apply them to so many areas of my life including diet and eating habits. I already implement some of the rules but it’s good to have a complete set of rules and system to refer to. I will certainly check the book out.

Excellent episode ❤

ZOE is the perfect example of MAKE IT FUN ! I love to learn and improve my health with you guys, your contents are so relevant, instructive and fun !

Will I still be able to watch Zoe podcasts on KZread.,🤔😟?!

this was Brilliant!

So lovely, great job!!

Very helpful!

I resonate with his point in the 55th minute. I always think about how different foods making me feel, how my dopamine is up after a good workout, how work raises my base dopamine levels, etc.

ZOE: James is our hero so don't hassle him, ok?!!

How much of this can applied to someone with addiction? Or if a certain habit or behavior is linked to trauma ? How can you do food changes if struggling with eating disorders? Etc.

Habits set the pattern for your life.

Great discussion ...good all rounder.

Very helpful ideas. Thank you.

Amazing - really helpful conversation to tie his work to our eating behaviours.

Is it really just changing a few habits, or changing your lifestyle to one you enjoy and makes you happy. Is the lifestyle built from changing some habits? yes, but Lifestyle is a lifelong approach to happiness. Are behaviors what we need to change more than habits? yes. These are just some of my thought from listening here today. Starting sooner rather than later in life is a good place to start, but everyday is the best day to start a new approach to things that make you feel better.

Well spoken Federika you explain it well. I am sure we all need less UPF .

Absolutely brilliant : ) life-changing

I would love to know the percentage of NDEers who go vegan or stop eating meat after their first experience. From all the stories I’ve listened to, it seems to be about 50/50. I would love to know why some are so passionate about not eating meat when they come back while others don’t think it matters.

Un-highly-processed food actually stops me being hungry or having cravings,so I dont really need self-control a great deal. I have the occasional treat or splurge on something of course. Its not supposed to be punishment.

The conclusion is the same: WHAT you eat makes all the difference.....

My future KZread channel will document my progress and success story to help your followers and my own followers. So in a nutshell, my height is only feet 3 inches in height and I lost a horrific 185 whopping pounds. YES True and documented on my Twitter X account. Forty-five years ago today, I was forced against my will to be confined to a hospital ICU quarantined confinement. Shut gunned intravenous with broad-spectrum antibiotics for over a month around the clock 24/7. YES, I lived a life of PURE HELL being so FAT SICK, and nearly DEAD myself. My LIFE story will be in more detail later.

Frederica didn’t get much of a look in!

I can overeat natural foods. Not crappy processed ones.

Just try listening to whole of the podcast. That's just a hook to get people's attention, so NOT "incongruous with British culture"

Don't waste your time! Instead listen to talks from Chris van Tulleken who talks far more honestly about UPF. and the activities of this 'food'. This talk is very much parroting the old sort of info and advice that you could read in Cosmopolitan 30 years ago - clean out your cupboards, put your yoga mat where you can see it ... bla bla bla. Change YOUR habits. So back to blaming the individual not the manufacturers. Not one mention of the deliberately manufactured addictive nature of UPFs. Back to the 1960s attitude to the tobacco industry. We don''t want to stigmatise food companies ... Why? They use the same marketing techniques as the tobacco industry did! To an equally if not more deadly effect and crashing the NHS. Skip this and just follow Chris van Tulleken. Waste of an hour. Sorry Jonathan.
