LIMITLESS with Chris William

Be kind to yourself, the fault isn't always your own. There comes an inevitable point after being in a deficit for an extended period of time that the intake necessary to continue losing weight is at the cost of your health and livelihood. You do not need to be lean to reach this point, you may not have yet lost the weight you had hoped to. At such a point, you have no alternative, you need to start increasing your calories. In this podcast I talk with Jade about her struggles comprehending the need to increase her calories despite not yet looking the way she desired.

Justifying inaction, believing things could not be any worse is the quickest way to ensure things don't get any better. In this podcast I talk with Eti about the profound difference an optimistic outlook makes.

Coaches, stop withholding context for the sake of financial gain, doing so is not only a potential gamble with someones else's health but will inevitably result in delusion and disappointment. In this podcast I talk with Evanna about the importance of transparency and the conversations most coaches are not comfortable having.

The only thing more exhausting than being depressed is pretending that you're not. In this podcast I talk with Josh about his struggles with depression to date and how time in jail resulted in a love for fitness that has proven to have a profound impact on his physical and psychological health since.

Whether a surplus phase is necessary or not has nothing to do with how lean you are, rather how long you have been in a deficit for and how low you have had to drop your calories to achieve the weight-loss to date you have. Could a surplus stage be necessary even if you don't yet look the way you desire? Yes. Is a reverse diet something only competitors need to worry about? No. In this podcast I talk with Monica about the inevitable cost of a lengthy calorie deficit and all she wish she had known before damaging her metabolism to the extent she has.

For as long as body-image is your issue and food is your coping mechanism, your sanity will remain at the cost of your livelihood. In this podcast I talk with Blake about the impact bullying had on his physical and psychological health as a teenager and the health scare that resulted in him taking responsibility for his circumstance, losing in excess of 60KG and changing his life for the better.

When trying to lose weight there will come a point in time that dropping calories further is no longer an option. At such a point, independent as to whether you have lost the weight you had hoped to or not, regardless as to whether you are as lean as you would like to be or not, you need to reverse diet. Refusing to accept there is no viable alternative at such a point is almost always at the cost of your livelihood and health. In this podcast I talk with Leanne about all she wished she had known sooner and all that remaining in a deficit for longer than anyone should cost her both psychically and psychologically.

Wishing things were different does nothing for your waistline. Drinking to forget does nothing for your problems. In this podcast I talk with Ryan about the importance of having the right people around you independent as to your ambitions and how losing in excess of 40kg has changed his life forever.

Spending today crying about the way you would prefer things is the fastest way to ensure you always have something to cry about. In this podcast I talk with Callan about the difference an optimistic perspective can make, whether he ever wished things were different and why he considers his condition a blessing. For those of the understanding they have been dealt a bad hand or are to some degree disadvantaged, this is the podcast for you.

Single parents, this is the podcast for you. In this podcast I talk with Tash about all that fitness represents to her, the confidence fitness has instilled in her and how she manages to address her fitness orientated ambitions despite her responsibilities as a single mother.

Whether adversity proves to be either detrimental or foundational is predicated by the perspective you choose to adopt. In this podcast Sid talks of why he considers having to learn to walk again a blessing and why he believes those that have been "dealt a bad hand," should consider themselves fortunate.

Is a new arrival going to result in you having to do almost everything differently to the way you are accustomed? Yes. Is your schedule going to be dictated by the temperament, wants and needs of your new born? Yes. Is it still possible to address your health and fitness orientated ambitions? Yes, provided you are resourceful, creative and understanding steps in the right direction, no matter how small are still worth taking. In this podcast I talk with Tegan about the 22kg she has managed to lose the last 6 months proceeding the birth of her first child. Mothers to be, this is the podcast for you.

If you are of the understanding that the cost of weight loss is your happiness, the method you have opted for is not well suited to you, nor is who ever has prescribed such a method taking into consideration the psychological repercussions that such an approach is likely to result in. In this podcast I talk with Emily about her weight loss struggles to date and how the approach she opted for in pursuit of her fitness orientated endeavours resulted in not only a fear of food but the understanding that being miserable was an inevitable part of the process.

If your approach results in you often questioning as to whether what you are sacrificing is worth it, it is not an approach well suited to you, it's not sustainable and provided your ambition is to gain a considerable amount of a muscle as female, it's not an approach that is going to yield the results you desire. In this podcast I had the pleasure of talking with Alana about how many years it has taken her to build the physique she has and what she advises others interested in achieving a physique similar should consider.

Are there responsibilities a mother has that will cost her time she could have otherwise invested in herself? Yes. Do such responsibilities necessarily have to be at the cost of her health and fitness orientated ambitions? No. In this podcast I had the pleasure of talking all things fitness and motherhood with WBFF PRO and mother of 6 Tenille Duncan. Mothers and mothers to be, this is the podcast for you.

As hard as it might be to hear, no matter how passionate you are, no matter how bad you want it, there are factors you cannot control that will influence the likelihood of you achieving your fitness orientated ambitions. If your ambition is to be regarded as the best, you need to be more talented, harder working and perceived as better suited by a judging panel than those also interested in being the best. In this podcast I talk with Matt about the hard conversations few coaches are willing to have with their clients that would save them from inevitable disappointment, what it really takes to look like Matt and why for the sake of your psychological well-being it is important to set goals that are for the most part in your control.

If your reason for doing a show isn't because you want to, first and foremost, you are probably not going to consider the sacrifices necessary to be competitive worthwhile, nor are you going to be accepting of the physical and psychological ramifications that shows often result in. In this podcast I discuss with Riann all of the things worth considering before preparing for a bodybuilding competition.

To lose weight and keep it off, you need to diet to some degree forever. For that to be a possibility, your diet needs to be for the most part enjoyable. The rate with which you can expect to lose weight is of direct relation to the size of the deficit you are able to tolerate both physically and psychologically. The method best suited to you is the method that takes into consideration the strength of your will, the rate of weight loss you are likely to be satisfied by and all that you aren't willing to go without for the sake of your psychological well-being. In this podcast, I talk with Carina about "The Perfect Diet.

The best coaches are not interested in proving particular methods right, rather identifying the method best suited. In this podcast Nicole and I talk of the difference we understand regular communication with our clients makes and the mistakes coaches that struggle with client adherence are likely making.

To give because it's the right thing to do is a bad idea. To give without an understanding as to your values is a bad idea. In this podcast Eti and I talk of the issues that arise from giving for no other reason than because society applauds it.

The hardest worker in the room is not always the best looking. The hardest worker on stage is not always the winner. In this podcast Kaylah and I discuss the factors that celebrated athletes and high profile influencers are typically reluctant to talk about that have a profound impact on the likelihood of you ever achieving your fitness orientated ambitions.

Embracing helplessness is never the right move. In this podcast I talk with Lyndall about all she struggled with both physically and psychologically after she ruptured her Achilles tendon not once, but twice. If you are at present feeling hard done by, if you think you have been dealt a bad hand, I encourage you to tune in and give Lyndall the opportunity to put things in perspective for you.

If what you are doing has resulted in drastic weight loss, chances are what you have resorted to isn't sustainable. No matter how resilient an individual you might be, drastic measures will result in adverse repercussions. Liam has lost the better part of 100kg total resorting to measures he now understands were not in his best interest.

If you are withholding context for the sake of short term financial gain, I hope for your sake the plan wasn't to remain relevant long term. In this podcast Eti and I talk of the power of influence, the potential cost of attention at scale and the behaviours I believe that will result in those relevant now having to soon reevaluate their marketing strategies.

If it sounds too good to be true, often it is. Mauz learnt this the hard way time and time again, spending thousands upon thousands on every fad diet to grace the internet until she realised a short term solution will not resolve a long term problem. Such a realisation has since resulted in a loss of 45kg and a new lease on life.

During this podcast Bec talks of her ongoing struggles with depression and how the behavioural tendencies she adopted eventually resulted in obesity, exacerbating all that she was already struggling with.

There is no correlation between difficulty and effectiveness. In this podcast Meg and I talk of the importance of thinking long term, ideally saving those interested in losing weight from experiencing the inevitable disappointment the "No stone unturned," "It's meant to be hard," approach often results in.

The average man weighs 63kg, to date @Justin has lost 70kg. During this podcast Justin talks of the toll being severely overweight had on his sense of self worth and his struggles with anxiety and depression throughout his weight loss journey. I am certain the advice Justin has for those of the understanding they are beyond help, as he once was will change lives. Enjoy.

Provided a "Guru," has praised it, Nessy has tried it. Having lost almost 40kg and experimented with almost every cleanse, detox and fad diet to have graced the internet, "Vanessa the Veteran," is more than entitled to an opinion regarding what does and doesn't work when trying to lose weight. During this podcasts Nessy does her best to save others the time and heartache she has experienced to date in pursuit of her fitness orientated endeavours.

If you are either looking for a coach or struggling to gain traction as an online coach, this is the podcast for you. Last week I had the pleasure of talking with Meg about the importance of transparency, honesty, authenticity and a point of difference with the ambition to help those new to online coaching find their feet and save those intending to enlist the services of a coach from disappointment. Enjoy.

For as long as you are of the understanding that nothing is worth doing unless it's done perfectly, you are sabotaging the progress prioritizing consistency would have otherwise resulted in. If you are someone prone to self sabotage, this is the podcast for you.

How big a factor is talent really? Last week I had the pleasure of "unpacking success," with arguably one of Australia's youngest and most successful entrepreneurs, Hayden McEvoy. Hayden's perspective regarding talent, skill and what he considers achievable without either is something I am certain those that use lack of "talent," to justify inaction will not enjoy hearing.

The amount of faith you have in your own ability makes no difference provided your ambitions are not realistic. In this podcast Robbie Frame and I talk of the instances we have fallen short of our expectations, the lessons that resulted in us both being "smoked," and all that we now take into consideration before setting goals. Our ambition is not to discourage, rather save others from experiencing the heartache that delusion will inevitably result in.

Our ambition is not to discourage, rather save others from experiencing the heartache that delusion will inevitably result in.

If nothing you do you consider worth doing, it is but a matter of time before you find yourself in a very dark place. Last week I had the pleasure of discussing in great detail the importance of "balance," with the "Guru of Balance," Todd Lane. Enjoy.

Personal trainers, this one is for you. If you weren't already in some way shape or form coaching clients online, you now have no choice but to should you wish to remain relevant. During this podcast Dan and I talk of the mistakes we have made as online coaches in the hopes that doing saves those new to online coaching time and money they probably cannot afford to lose right now.

Attention at scale comes at a cost. In this episode I had the pleasure of talking all things social media, self worth, relationships and monestization with Love Island star Eoghan Murphy. Aspiring influencers, this is the podcast for you.

Being proud of the way you look is in no way indicative you are confident, the fitness industry has this confused. If you aren't inclined to post anything conflicting despite your beliefs, it's not your opinion you value above all else and you therefore aren't as confident as you have yourself convinced you are.

If nothing changes, nothing will change and for as long as you aren't motivated, it is your perspective that first needs to change. If you are at present stuck in a rut, if there is nothing you are excited regarding, this is the episode for you.

If money doesn't already make you happy, more money won't change that. During this Episode I help Justin re-evaluate his priorities and save him taking a job that would inevitably result in him finding himself very unhappy.

You aren't in a "rut", you just aren't enjoying your training as much as you have in the past attributed to the point of reference you have. A runner isn't going to derive the same gratification from swimming they do running, that is not to say however provided for what ever reason they cannot run, swimming as an alternative isn't better than nothing. You don't have to enjoy it for it to be worthwhile.

The better your intentions, the more attention your actions will result in.

It's simple really, find a need and provide it at a cost considered good by your intended audience.

Don't be afraid of asking, independent as to the likelihood of the answer being no. Worst case, they say no, you are in no different a position than you would be in had you chosen to do nothing.

No one that is happy wonders as to whether things could be better, as to whether they could be happier. You are wondering for a reason. You aren't happy. Do something about it.

What worked for you yesterday is irrelevant, romanticising regarding the things that have proven viable in the past will always be at the expense of your customers interest in your services, subject to their needs at the time.

Someone always has a need for something and it may not be what you would prefer them to be in need of. The sooner this is understood the sooner what is convenient for you is no longer a consideration that costs you money.

For anyone to make money, others have to lose it, money circulates, if your ambition is to also make money, I suggest you get creative and target those at present making money as trying to sell to those without it is a waste of time.
