  • Get Lean, Stay Healthy and Kick Ass at Life with Oonagh Duncan
    Nov 5 2024

    Enjoy this re-release of one my top listened to episodes with my guest, Oonagh Duncan.

    Oonagh Duncan is the CEO and founder of Fit Feels Good. She is a multi-award-winning fitness expert, media personality, and author of Healthy as F*ck: The Habits You need to Get Lean, Stay healthy and Kick Ass at Life.

    Your body is the result of two facts: genetics and habit. You can’t do anything about your genetics, but you can control your habits. Habits are the ones who control your body, and if you redesign your habits, you can live as a whole new person.

    On this episode of The Growth Guide, we explore the importance of being comfortable with being alone and how implementing basic healthy habits can lead to personal growth. Oonagh discusses the all-too-common desire for a big secret to health and wellness and how people can create their own effort to results ratio.

    Tune in for valuable insights on creating sustainable habits and personal growth.

    [4:56] Choice of language – the language we choose is important when framing weight loss and dieting.

    [17:04] Compound interest – What will sustain you is your habits, and consistency will provide exponential results.

    [21.12] Reward for the habit, not the outcome – You really have to reward the action and not the outcome because the outcome is often very much delayed.

    [32.16] Sleeping – We talk about the importance of sleep as a part of dieting.
