Struggling with fat loss despite knowing exactly what to do? You're not alone.

The answer isn't about knowledge, it's about psychology.

Learn how the PERMA framework from positive psychology reveals the 5 psychological elements that separate people who sustain their transformation from those who remain stuck.

Discover how to engineer your fat loss approach to work WITH your psychology instead of against it, creating conditions where healthy behaviors actually feel good to maintain.

Main Takeaways:

• The intelligence paradox: Why smart people often struggle most with sustainable fat loss
• The 5 PERMA elements: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment
• How to systematically engineer psychological momentum into your fat loss approach
• Why traditional approaches focus on mechanics but miss the psychological infrastructure
• How to audit yourself across the PERMA dimensions to identify your weakest area
