The Jay Campbell Podcast Weight Loss & Reclaiming Your Health w/Mark Hamade
Our bodies weren’t made to carry a lot of fat. Bad food, environmental toxicity and lack of activity contribute to weight gain. What is the mindset of the journey from morbidly obese to fit? How do our egos hinder us from becoming optimized and staying that way? On this episode Mark Hamade shares his insights on health, weight loss and meditation.
Every person is good at something. Channel that greatness and apply the same level of pride to losing weight. -Mark Hamade
Three Takeaways
- Don’t be arrogant and assume that you can’t lose your health. The minute you start thinking you’re invincible, is the minute it can all go away.
- In this hyper-connected world, nothing is truly as urgent as we think. Arrogance and immaturity make us focus on the wrong things.
- A lot of people are addicted to the applause of losing weight. When they’ve attained it - they tend to gain it again to restart that process.
At the start of the show, Mark gave us a few details about his life, and the journey he took to take control of his health. He also talked about the impact of weight gain, and how it can easily destroy you. “Nobody likes to be fat, if they say they do, they’re lying.” Mark also shared the importance of focusing on being your best, not on being like someone else. Towards the end of the show we discussed meditation and mindfulness. “You have to be able to draw into yourself and focus on the stillness and silence.” We also talked about the struggle of weight loss. “When you're losing the weight everyone is on your side, but at the pinnacle, it gets harder.”
Mark also shared insights on:
- Why more people are dying because of lifestyle habits, not serious illness
- Channeling the greatness of your talents towards weight loss
- Why genetics are a huge determinant of your body’s response to carbs
- The actions and activities you can commit to to stay healthy
- The false urgency created by technology and modern living
- Why you need to respect sugar and weight gain
Ego is the enemy. When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, we underestimate the effects of sugar, soda and other unhealthy foods; and we overestimate our ability to lose weight over and over again. The process of becoming healthy is lengthy and hard; and it requires discipline, willpower and long-term consistency for it to be successful. Focus on being the best you can be. Consider what your body would look like at its best, and work towards that.
