or my members in the Locals group. So I do little micro lessons, two to four minutes, that gives you a life skill. So after two minutes you learn something you'll know how to do for the rest of your life. Now, if you do about 200 of them, which I have, over 200 micro lessons at scottadams.locals.com, you would know that willpower is literally imaginary. So they did a whole study on a thing that literally doesn't exist, and then they came to a result because they're the experts.

Let me tell you. I'll give you the quick version of why willpower doesn't exist. There are only differences in preferences. If you say, Scott, I'm not going to feed you for two weeks, and then I'm going to put some ice cream in front of you, would I resist? I haven't eaten in two weeks, but you know, I don't want ice cream because it's bad for me. A little too much sugar. Do you think I'd resist starving after two weeks? No, I'd eat it. I would eat a Lunchable. That's how hungry I would be. Right now, where's the willpower in that story? None. No. I was more hungry than I was caring about a few calories.

Now, you could take that silly example and you could extend it to literally everything, and in every case you'll see it's very clear. Somebody just picked the choice that was the better choice. There's no willpower. Do you know how I keep my weight exactly at the right number? I'm literally precisely at my target adult weight. I don't want to gain a pound, don't want to lose a pound. I'm exactly right. Do you know how much willpower it took? None. Because it doesn't exist. All I did was I did stuff like remove junk food from my house, learned a little bit more about what's good for me. So I did learning. I removed things from my environment. Where's the willpower? There's no willpower.

And then I learned through trial and error what things were causing me inflammation and causing me to gain weight. So it turns out for me, probably wheat. I'm not a scientific study, but anecdotally, when I got rid of wheat and some other sugary things, I can't even gain weight. It wouldn't even be possible. So if you live your life like willpower doesn't exist, you're going to get much better results. Because instead of going willpower, trying really hard, that doesn't get you much. How about just removing the junk food from your house? That'll get you a lot. How about learning
