Self Talk and Fat Loss Success

By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Kevin Gianni from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.

Kevin: There is a quote that I absolutely love, I mean it's one of my favorite quotes, and I actually just learned it recently. You know, I'm always learning about things, I'm always talking to new people and they are always telling me great things, and this is the quote‑‑I don't know who said it but it's just awesome‑‑it says: "If someone taught me how to flip a switch I wouldn't dismiss it as simple, I'd just enjoy the light."

Scott: Wow.

Kevin: I know, isn't it great?

Scott: That is awesome.

Kevin: It's a fantastic‑‑

Scott: Trip.

Kevin: I mean, it's a fantastic quote. And there are tricks that you can use, that I can show you, that Scott can show you, that everyone out there can show you, that fitness pros can show you; and you can use those to enjoy the light. And I'll tell you, flipping the switch is actually easy, it's just getting up to flipping the switch. [laughs]

Scott: Right.

Kevin: Is when it becomes a challenge. So I use different mindset techniques to make this happen with my clients and with myself. And I will preface this, I'll say everything that I talk about and that I use on my clients, I've tested on myself. I do this stuff all the time and that's why I can talk so confidently about it, because it works for me.

It works for other people, it can work for you, and it can work for anyone. And the first thing that I absolutely do with all my clients, before I even sit them down, and I do this subconsciously, subconsciously they're not knowing it, and I do it consciously with them as well. So the first time I'll meet with a client I walk in the door and I give a huge smile, OK? A huge smile and I say, "Hey, how are you doing? My name is Kevin." And in most cases they usually smile back.

So, right there you're starting to change your state. Most people when they think about a trainer they think about fat loss. They get very serious.

Scott: Yeah.

Kevin: Very serious. You're reading your exercise books and you're learning about nutrition, you're getting all the things you really, really need. You have to eat this. You have to eat that. Forget it. I want you to associate exercise, and fitness, and healthy lifestyle with smiling. Because man, when you smile everything is in tune. Everything is going your way. So that's what I do first off.

And then I'll actually sit down and do an exercise, and I saw this from a Tony Robbins seminar that I went to where he has everyone stand up and he says, "All right, everyone, I want you to put on a grumpy face. I want you to put your head down. And I want you to just kind of get in a really bad mood." Right?

Scott: [laughs] Right, right.

Kevin: And then you do and you're like I'm in a bad mood, why did he make me do this? This sucks.

[laughing]

And then what happens is he says, "All right, now you're in a bad mood. I want you to stand up straight and I want you to smile. The biggest smile that you've ever had." So everyone laughs. And usually when you smile you can feel that energy of the people next to you.

Scott: Right.

Kevin: It's a really neat thing. It's something that probably they'll find out what it means after we all die, but it's a fantastic feeling that you get when you're around a bunch of people smiling or laughing. You saw that contagious laughter.

And then he says, "While you're smiling I want you to think about that terrible thing again." And you're like, "I can't." And then you know how powerful that is. It seems so simple.

And I go through this with my client while we're just standing there, and we go through it and they say, "Wow. I never thought of it that way." And it's so simple. I mean, I remember hearing when I was a kid, put on a happy face kind of thing.

Scott: Right.

Kevin: And just kind of dismissing it. But I use this in the morning. I tell my clients to use this in the morning. Get out of bed. Get up. Go to the mirror. Look in the mirror. Smile at yourself. You'll laugh because of the fact you're doing it.

Because it's just so silly, right? And then tell yourself something. Say, "Hey, I'm going to have an awesome day today." And laugh about it. And laugh how silly you are doing it.

And I guarantee you if you do it for five days in a row your week is going to be better than last week.

Scott: Awesome. That's right. That's right.

Kevin: And I used to resist that. I mean resist it to the point where I would ignore doing it. I'd get out of bed. I knew that I had to do it. I'd go to the mirror. I'd put a little smirk on like your saying something to yourself. You know? [laughs]

Scott: Yeah, yeah.

Kevin: And then I'd just say, "All right. Well, I'm not going to do it." And now I've gotten to the point where I go to the mirror and I say like six things. My fiance thinks I'm crazy because I'm talking to myself in the mirror in the morning and she's still rolling around. She's like trying to sleep.

And then I come out and then all throughout during the day I'm saying things to myself like, "I'm in great shape." Or, "I'm feeling fantastic today." And I'm saying it out loud because there's only so many things you can say out loud in the given course of the day. And obviously you can tell by the way I talk I say a lot.

Scott: Yeah.

[laughing]

Kevin: But, there's so many things that you can say during the day. And if you say the good things your body and mind is going to accept those as true. Because think of all the things you think in your head. I mean, you can think of some of the most fantastic things in your head to some of the most strangest things that you ever could have possibly imagined. Like how did that come into my mind, right?

Scott: That's right.

Kevin: Everyone's had those moments. Well, the strangest things never come true and in most cases the wildest dreams never come true because they're never mentioned. So, if you start mentioning more of those things, hopefully the wilder, awesome things then you're going to start to actually realize those things. And the power of that is just incredible. And think of it as hokey until you do it.

Scott: Oh man, no way.

Kevin: And then it becomes such a reality. It's absolutely incredible.

Scott: That's right. How can you not have a great day? How can you not be in a great mood when you yell out or say out things like that to yourself? It's awesome. I do the same thing myself, man, and it's fantastic. These are probably some of the greatest things that I've learned from Tony Robbins myself.

The way you sit, the way you walk, the way you stand. It's just body movements, positions, like you said, smiling. Simple things like that. Like you said, it sounds hokey, but it works! Walk like a successful person who's in great shape. Go to the beach and walk around like you are in the best shape out of anybody else there. Watch what it does to your mood.

And watch what it does to what you eat that day. If you're walking around like that, it's amazing. You walk by the ice cream bar and you don't want it because, hey, you're walking tall and proud. You're thinking like you're already a success, and eating the ice cream's not going to be what a successful person would do that that time. Simple body gestures like that are very powerful.

Kevin: You got it.
