In this episode, Daryl breaks down the real foundation of a forever active lifestyle and how to build a plan that lasts for life. He shares how to start with your preferences, create your own rules, and build habits that fit who you are. The conversation dives into how to trust yourself again after years of following strict programs and why a foundation built around what you enjoy is the key to long-term success.
Daryl also explains the tension between dieting and sustainability, showing how restrictive plans only make sense once your foundation is solid. When you have a plan that aligns with your preferences, you can adapt, challenge yourself when needed, and avoid burnout. This episode will remind you that progress isn’t about doing everything perfectly, it’s about knowing what you can always fall back to and building from there through an inside/out approach.
