The Science of Self-Control with Menno Henselmans

by | Feb 14, 2023

What if I told you that those that are the most successful with their weight loss goals are neither more disciplined nor have more self-control than anyone else, rather, they are more strategic about the situations that they put themselves into that actually require discipline and self-control.

Today I’m excited to welcome Menno Henselmans to The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show. Menno is a scientific researcher, international public speaker, author of The Science of Self Control, and founder of the Henselmans Personal Training Certification Course. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • How should we be looking at self-control and willpower in the context of dieting and weight loss
  • Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation
  • Rigid vs flexible dietary control and diet dogma
  • The science of calorie cycling and diet breaks on long-term success
  • As well as how the type and intensity of exercise factor into weight loss and body composition change

This was a great conversation on a myriad of nutrition, fitness, and behavioral psychology-related topics geared specifically to those looking to make lasting body composition changes and wanting the no BS, science-driven perspective.
