Dan said, 'Eating the same meals every day is a low-key weight loss hack. Eating the same meals, doing the same workouts, going to bed at the same time: getting fit is about doing the boring things consistently. The same things that make you look good (exercise, sleep, nutrition, mindset) are the the same things that make you feel good. Instead of chasing weight loss, chase good habits: eating at similar times, eating similar meals every day, waking up and sleeping at the same times, getting stronger using the same workouts.'

They are not boring; they make life fuller."
