Welcome to the Diesel Dad episode 12. My name is Anders Varner, and today I'm up against the clock. I'm giving myself five minutes to talk about the five pillars of the Diesel Dad Mentorship Program. This is the metabolic masterclass that we are putting together to help busy dads lose between 20 and 40 pounds in the next six months. And if we can't get you there in six months,

we'll coach you for free. Applications are going live next Monday. We're excited about getting this information out. We can't wait. We've been working our butts off to get this going. And I'm giving myself five minutes to walk through the Metabolic Masterclass, what the Diesel Dad Mentorship is,

and most importantly, the five pillars that we're going to be walking you through to take you from where you're at today to where you would like to be in six months three two one let's go the diesel dad mentorship is the highest level class that we are going to be offering in the diesel dad program it is a one-on-one coaching program on which are going to take you from where you are today. We are going to build the vision of where you want to be. We're going to talk about the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, and the objective facts about where you are. And we're going to forecast the future of who you would like to be in your family as you build a strong, lean, and athletic body that you are proud of.

In this process, we're going to be going over five main pillars. These are going to be the five pillars that we are going to be focusing on. The very first one, we have to start at the beginning with the mindset of fat loss. You see, everything you've been up to in your entire life and all the decisions you've made, all the actions you've made, have led you to a point called today. And when you look at yourself in the mirror, that is the physical manifestation of all of those decisions, all of those thoughts, all of those actions, all in one spot, the person that you see in the mirror. And the reason you're interested in losing 20 to 40 pounds and ready to draw a line in the sand today

is because that person is not someone you want to be. It does not represent the ideals that you would like to live your life by. You are not strong, lean, athletic, and you probably are sacrificing family, fatherhood, or fitness somewhere in your life and it's leading you to be relatively unhappy as you move forward in life. And as you start to forecast out where this goes, you know that if you don't change, big problems are coming. And our goal

is to start with the facts, with mindset, laying out the facts of where you are today and forecasting the future for where you would like to be. We do this through a five-step process in which we analyze specific parts of your life from your mind to your body to your significant relationships to your family and friends, the impact you have on the world, and we start to talk about some hobbies and things that you like to do to create space for yourself and live a happy life. Pillar two is teaching you the fundamental basics of your metabolism. Metabolisms are so crazy to people. How many times have you thought that your metabolism was broken because you've done everything? You've tried all the diets. You've worked so hard for things to be perfect and you've done it all. You must be broken. It's not the case.

We just have to start to understand the four basic components from your basal metabolic rate to the thermal effect of physical activity and how that's broken into non-exercise and exercise, as well as the thermal effect of food, how we put all those together into an actual plan so that you're moving throughout the day and optimizing and boosting your metabolism pillar number three is going to be macronutrients it's fun all of these start with the letter M right macronutrients specifically protein and the total caloric intake that you're bringing into your body see See, energy in versus energy out is a real thing. We can't ever get away from the fact that calories in and calories out

matter. So if we can understand at the highest level of nutrition, we have to have a caloric balance. And to lose fat, we need to be in a caloric deficit in which we are taking in less energy than we are burning so that we start burning fat stores in our body and on top of that it's not effective or is it the way that we want to live our lives in which we're just shrinking as a human but maintaining the same body that we currently have so what happens we need to maintain the muscle that we currently have as well as grow more and and we wanna focus on proteins. So caloric intake protein, and then underneath that,

foods that we like, because we want to understand a larger concept of metabolic flexibility in which you can use carbs and fat to achieve the goals based on the activity that you are doing, and enjoy food and enjoy your life. Now, pillar four is muscle. Muscle is super important for three main reasons. In order for us to get muscle, we need to go lift weights. And those weights are not necessarily that important. But what we do with weights is signal to our body

that we are creating an environment that strength matters. And in that environment, you need to be strong. You need to be lean. You need to be athletic. And you need to be able to build muscle consistently to meet the demand of this new environment. So why does muscle matter? And why does resistance training, weight training matter? Well, in order for your metabolism to operate at its highest level, you are going to need to create a stimulus, stress on the body.

You're going to burn calories while you are lifting the weights. Now, in the grand spectrum of running to yoga, to high intensity interval training, to lifting weights, all along that pathway the most important thing in the exercise that you choose is going to be resistance training because you get the stimulus and you have the stress on your body while you are doing the weight lifting the the extra bonus is that when you finish weight lifting now your body has to

kick into high gear to repair the muscle tissue that you just broke down and once that muscle is built now you have to maintain that muscle and muscles really expensive to maintain so those three core components of muscle make it the most important macronutrient and it makes resistance training the most important way for you to build muscle tissue. Which gets us to number five, which is the metabolic mastery. Now, it's not enough for us to put you on a diet plan that sucks all the calories out, leaves you hungry, you hit your goal, and you have no idea how to sustain this for the rest of your life except starve yourself. And that's not what we're here for. The entire point of the Diesel Dad Mentorship

Program is to get you to hit your goal and then leave you with a plan for you to take the lessons learned into the real world so you never need a nutrition or fitness coach ever again.
