About this episode
A practical conversation about why goals don't create change — daily actions do. Episode #243 🎙️ "Having the big, beautiful goal doesn't get us to the big, beautiful goal. Translating it into daily actions is what actually moves us forward." In this episode, Dr. Terri Lance and Megan Ramos explore why so many people feel stuck despite having clear goals — and how shifting focus from outcomes to repeatable daily actions is what creates real, lasting progress. They discuss habit-building, consistency, and the small behaviors that support fasting success, metabolic health, and long-term transformation. This episode is a grounded reminder that progress isn't about doing more or pushing harder, but about choosing actions you can repeat over time. 👉 What you'll learn: • Why goal-setting alone rarely leads to lasting change • The difference between motivation and consistency • How daily actions create momentum over time • Why habits matter more than intensity • How to think differently about eating days and fasting days • Why sustainability beats "cranking the dial" 🎓 Coach Terri's Program Beyond Knowing: Creating Your True Transformation Starts February 3 https://www.thefastingmethod.com/beyond-knowing-creating-your-true-transformation/ ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — Why goals alone don't create change 05:31 — Motivation fades, consistency remains 08:53 — Translating goals into daily actions 09:11 — Structuring eating days for success 09:15 — Supporting fasting days without extremes 14:47 — Using tools without becoming dependent 20:30 — Sustainability vs intensity 27:40 — Closing reflections and next steps 📝 Transcript The transcript for this episode is available on our website: https://www.thefastingmethod.com/podcasts/ 💛 Community Support Join The Fasting Method Community for guidance, accountability, and coaching support: https://www.thefastingmethod.com/community/ 📘 The Hunger Code Pre-Order Bonus Bundle Pre-order The Hunger Code by Dr. Jason Fung and receive access to a powerful bonus package, including The Hunger Code Masterclass and a guided
