You Can't Screw This Up

Change Your Mindset Before You Change Your Diet (w/ Adam Bornstein)

The Consistency Project, 19 August 2026. The author is the guest. The book comes up at 2 min 52 sec in.

EC (host of The Consistency Project) recommends Adam Bornstein's book, which she describes as one of the few nutrition books she can endorse. In the interview, Bornstein explains that the one true way to screw up a diet is a mindset problem—not believing you are a healthy person. The conversation also covers his three pillars of healthy eating (cost, complexity, convenience as barriers; nourishment, satisfaction, and sanity as eating principles), the boulders-vs-pebbles framework for identifying habits that actually matter, and an 80/80 rule attributed to Cindy Crawford.
