Why You Aren't Losing Fat

Losing 160 Pounds, Keeping Momentum, and "75 Hard" with Bishoi Khella

Today's guest is Bishoi Khella.

Bishoi amassed quite the following on TikTok after his incredible 160 pound weight loss journey went viral.

In 2021, he was north of 350 pounds. Today, he sits at 180 pounds (absolutely jacked) at 10.7% body fat.

Bishoi and I chatted about his journey, what prompted this massive transformation, and what allowed this change to be different (what made it last).

We also talked about how he sustains momentum despite life changes and distractions like vacation or busy work seasons, the exact plan he followed to lose 160 pounds, his business, and much more.

All in, I thoroughly enjoyed this chat and it was fascinating to get to speak to someone who's made such extraordinary changes - and more importantly, sustained them.

Why You Aren't Losing Fat

If the below quote resonates with you, this episode is for you.

"I've tried keto, I've tried vegan, I've tried tracking my calories, I've tried everything. I've made some progress in the past, but I end up rebounding at some point and I'm further away from my goal than when I started. I'm not confident that I can stick with any sort of routine because even when I do, I feel like I don't get where I want to go."

Discussion points include:

• Why the scale may not be changing despite you doing things right
• How to recognize water weight fluctuations (and make sure they don't discourage you)
• The three reasons why most people aren't losing fat
• A step by step process to get you moving in the right direction within 2 weeks

How to Use Time Blocking to Transform Your Productivity and Life

If you notice yourself consistently feeling like you're drowning in busyness and "never quite getting around" to all the big goals and projects you have in mind, this episode might be useful for you. We discuss:

• Why "task switching" and multi-tasking can reduce performance and cause us to burn out faster
• The 4 step process to time blocking (no matter what your profession is or what your goals are)
• One specific strategy to improve focus during your time blocks (with a neat study out of Stanford to help illustrate the point)

The Process with Ryan Wermich

In the first of Momentum's "Home Team" series, I sit down with long time friend Ryan Wermich to discuss what has stopped us historically from building extraordinary lives, what our goals are moving forward, and most importantly, the systems we're using to get there.
