I've listened to the podcast version of that video and it made me reduce drastically my alcohol consumption. It's been a year and I've listened to it a few more times. I lost 20kg (44lbs) in like 5 months. Granted, stopping drinking gave me more energy to exercise more frequently, which helped immensely with weight loss. But I've always been very active, I've had long periods of exercising very frequently and intensely, and never before had I observed such an improvement in losing weight. I attribute this to all the calories I've stopped consuming regularly. Since then, I've been able to maintain my weight without really needing that much exercise anymore. I'd say that listening to that episode was one of those defining moments in life for me. It completely changed my relationship with my own habits as I started to reevaluate every other habit and was able to successfully pick the ones that made sense to me and the ones I could let go. For example: - It was easier to quit smoking, which is something I used to stop and pick up again intermittently. - I quit drinking so much coffee. Now I only drink it if I wake up super early and I know I have a long day or maybe I have a very complex task at the job. - I've been able to maintain the overall cleanliness of my home at a higher level. I don't feel that feeling of "I'll do that later" as much anymore. In this podcast, Andrew talks about how chronic alcohol consumption hinders our ability to postpone satisfaction in the short term in favor of long-term benefits. - I started being able to actually enjoy things instead of just enjoying having that alcohol buzz.
