🦾 I Gained 12 Pounds Last December (Not This Year)

Hey Insider, Yesterday, I walked into a client lunch, faced a plate of holiday cookies, and didn't touch one.

Not because of willpower. But because of a specific system I learned after gaining 12 pounds last December while trying to hit quota.

Let's get real: December's a perfect storm of stress eating, holiday parties, and "one more cookie won't hurt."

Here's the exact protocol I'm using to stay lean while closing deals.
