Episode 32: How Busy People Build Health Habits With Andrew Kobylarz
Many people are so consumed with being busy that they have no time to get into healthy habits. Sales professional and fitness junkie Andrew Kobylarz talks with Anand J. Sukhadia about having a fitness lifestyle and how he came about writing his book How Busy People Build Healthy Eating Habits. Andrew points out that many people, especially busy executives and business owners, say no to the idea of a healthy lifestyle without trying it out at first. He says that it all boils down to having consistent routines that wrap around your schedule and having certain pillars to guide you along the way. When it comes to eating healthy and exercising, Andrew tells Anand that one must find out what works for them and what doesn’t; and the critical thing to keep in mind is that the whole thing is a process, and it is going to take time.

Andrew, welcome to the show. How are you doing?
I am doing good. Thank you very much for having me on to chat about the book, how people can build some healthy eating habits and healthy habits in general.
Our mutual friend Steve from Spesh hair salon in Hoboken introduced us. You send me your book after the meeting. It was pretty amazing to read and how simply you were able to explain so many complex topics. That’s why I wanted it to get you on. Before we get into your story, what does living a limitless life mean to you?
Overall I think it’s abundance. From a health perspective, if you take a look at some of the most successful people besides time, they are talking about health. Health is physically also mentally. Outside of that, from a financial perspective, own your own time, do things and explore things that interest you. I would say that sums up what a limitless life means to me.
How Busy People Build Healthy Eating Habits: A Simple Guide To Healthy Eating Without Dieting Or Calorie Counting. Build Your Own Lifestyle
You are also in corporate sales and you are very successful in your career. Becoming an author is not an easy task. What made you decide to get into writing a book about health, your journey through becoming a trainer and doing that for many years. Why don’t you get us into your story? Tell us a little bit about how you’ve got to this place.
A lot of it happened initially. I had been interested in fitness, training and stuff like that. One of my best friends, Adam, owns Intrepid. When he started it up, I was like, “Do you think I can try out fitness training?” That’s how I’ve got into it. I set it up a blog, which used to be Mind Ya Fitness but I started doing some rebranding on that. I had a lot of friends ask me questions about working out, diet and things like that. I love to write and then it eventually turned into, “I should encapsulate all these ideas into a book and give it to everybody. Something that should be easy to take away, and then hopefully improve whatever they are trying to do in terms of their diets. We will keep pushing that into fitness stuff as well.”
Who is the ideal audience for this book?
Most of the people that are going to be reading this are busy executives. They are going to be folks that are sitting behind a desk, business owners, doctors and nurses, folks like that. They are typically having a super pack schedule. Their schedule could also be a little bit frantic as well. I’m in sales. Sometimes, I have days where I don’t have anything going on. Other times, I have days where I’m back-to-back or pack morning and the afternoon and vice versa. It’s not for everybody. I like fitness, diet and learning about it. I’m passionate about it. Not everybody is and that’s okay. It’s only an important pillar for you to live a good life. I would say that’s the ideal audience for this book.
You are in the arena where you are in Corporate America. You are in sales. Your schedule is very dynamic. I’m sure you notice for yourself it’s hard to keep a structured routine for working out or eating. I think that’s a big reason why you wrote this book. Having a schedule like, what kind of detriment does that do for a lot of people that you work around and what have you seen in terms of people’s health? How they have been affected by having such crazy work-hour schedules?
It goes back to what I was talking about with limitless life. If anybody has ever read the 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss, there’s an interesting quote there. I think it was from Richard Branson. You look at all these successful people and outside of time, they said that the most important thing is health. It’s one of those things where once you don’t have it, it’s all you want. A lot of people will sacrifice their health to get ahead whether that’s making a lot of money or working a lot of hours. That’s okay to be ambitious and make a lot of money.
To the detriment, what’s the point of making a bunch of money and being successful in your career if you are sick all the time or you get to a point where you are a little bit older and your body is falling apart. You are not going to be living a quality life. Also, you see things around the nation and even the globe obesity, Type 2 diabetes, preventative diseases and there are more stuff. I’m not a medical professional but with everything going on with COVID, you talk to every health professional. What do they say? Get sleep, move around, exercise and eat well. Simple stuff that a lot of people don’t talk about and take for granted once it’s gone.
Those are the things I have seen. The other interesting thing too is what struck me and the trigger for this book was, I remember I was talking to a buddy of mine, his sister and she’s got, three kids. She works at a large financial institution. She had a seminar with a nutritional professional who was talking about, “Eat 6 meals a day, get 45 minutes of cardio in, and then 45 minutes of workouts.” She was like, “Andrew, this is all good information. It was a great takeaway but at the end of the day, I’ve got three kids. I’m waking up at 6:00 AM. I’m getting them ready and dropping them off at school. I’m going to work. I’m working there until 5:00 or 6:00, then I’ve got to come back. I’ve got to feed my kids dinner. I don’t know where I can find the time.”
It’s not necessarily an excuse but it made me think like, “Everybody is talking about these. I have to do something in this way and this has to be linear,” but the reality is that everybody has got to have a different lifestyle. You can do whatever you want to do and you should be able to mold your diet and fitness routines around that instead of the other way around. That’s another reason that sparked the book. There are a ton of people out there who are looking at like, “I should be doing keto, paleo or CrossFit,” or something like that. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things but if you are too dogmatic about it, then it’s like, “What do we like going for at this point?”
I want to get into that time issue and the excuse that I don’t have time for it. I heard a quote and it goes something that’s at the effect of replacing, “I don’t have time for it,” with, “I won’t make time for it,” because everything in life is a choice. If you don’t make time to feed your kids, they are going to starve. It’s not going to be good. If you don’t take care of your body, it’s going to deteriorate. It’s so interesting how the US had such a problem with obesity and people not taking care of their health. It could be for a multitude of reasons. The diet, fast food, portion size, GMOs, whatever you want to say.
It’s interesting. In nature, if an animal gets overweight or if it’s sickly, immediately, the animal will get eaten. It will not survive in this world but that’s a testament to how amazing the human body is. We can neglect our machine for so many years and we could still live a long life through all these medications but at the end of the day, if it’s not functioning properly, that is the basis for who we are as human beings. If we are not running efficiently and optimally, then everything else is going to fall to shit.
The other thing that’s pretty interesting about that is we live in this world where it’s all or nothing. I see that a lot with folks at the gym. They want to go hard on a workout and feel beat up after or like, “I’m going to do this diet then I’m going to go all-in for the next 30 days because I’m going to try to get ripped for summer,” or whatever. You had to take a step back and realize it’s not sustainable. The other thing too is the advice of like, “We are going to go and we have to eat perfectly or we have to have these perfect bodies.” It’s like, “No, we don’t.” I’m not the person who never eating a pizza or never going out for drinks with my friends. I want to do those things. You should be doing those things. Moderation is always key. For the most part, if you have these pillars and you are doing certain things consistently more so than others, It’s going to be okay to slip off and eat fast food or get drunk and have a good time. It’s important to keep that in mind when it comes to stuff like that.
We went over a little bit of the challenges that people face. If we step back from a 30,000-foot view, what is your overall philosophy on health and how to maintain it?
It’s going to be day by day. It’s consistent routines that you have and systems that you are putting into place in your day-to-day. Those will add up and keep you healthy. The main thing is that you are going to have those certain pillars of like, “Eat your veggies, eat well-sourced food and drink water.” No one is going to argue about that. No health professional is going to dispute that at all. Once we start getting into a little bit more complicated things like, “I’m going to be looking at paleo. This is all the stuff that I’m going to be eating and that’s all I should be eating or if I’m going to be looking at keto, that’s the only type of diet that I should be doing.” Those things get a little bit more complicated because the reality is that everybody is different. You have to experiment and learn what works for you and what doesn’t.
I’m not saying that these keto, paleo diets, low carb diets, are not bad but following that to a tee, it might work for some people but all in all, take the good things that you have from that and then make it your own, then follow those main things. Those pillars of eating your vegetables, drinking water and eating well-sourced food. That’s going to be good from a fitness standpoint and moving around. It doesn’t have to be a lot. It’s 10 to 15 minutes a day or doing things that you enjoy that involve moving around. Even going for a walk, that’s fine. If you keep those things consistent in your life, for the most part, you are going to be okay.
Health Habits: Many people sacrifice their health to get ahead, whether that's making a lot of money, whether that's working a lot of hours.
For those who haven’t done a lot of research, they are relying on other people for knowledge and every single sector of the industry is so diverse. People are saying you need to go keto, some people going paleo, some are vegans. How do we know what is right for our particular body?
No one is going to like this answer. You stick to the pillars like what I mentioned but it’s going to be experimentation. I will give you a story about how I went through that. I used to be dogmatic about paleo and I used to be like, “I’m not going to eat any carbs or anything like that.” I talk about it in the book. What’s fascinating is that after experimentation, I started eating much more carbs. I feel better. I look better. it’s weird because I was in this like, “I have to make sure I stick to that. That’s the only thing and right thing,” but that’s a process and that took time.
Like anything, when you are learning something and you are getting better at something, it’s going to take time. You have to have that mentality of you don’t have to be anal about it but you have to have a sense of like, “How am I improving? What’s working? What’s not working?” That’s just like anything in life. We live in a society where we are like, “Can I take a pill that automatically I’m there? Can I do something and then 30 days later, I’m right where I want to be?” It never works like that. If you think about people’s careers too, nobody gets good at anything in 30 days. It takes years to get to where you are at. I have been doing sales for many years. I was not at the level that I’m at when I first started my first gig in sales. Why do we expect that we are going to be so good at understanding our bodies and so good at being in these healthy routines in a couple of weeks?
Let’s talk about what expectations that we should have once we start making these changes because a lot of people are looking for those immediate results. When I was in college, there was this thing called fat burner or Stacker 2 or something like that where all the commercials and all these heavy people, then changing into skinny immediately. That’s what society is the program has to be. It’s like, “We need to have immediate results so quickly.” That’s the same thing with a career. You are in sales. You have expectations from your bosses. You’ve got to sell a certain amount. What are we supposed to do when it comes to our bodies? How should we go into it from our mindset point of view?
The first thing is that you need to be doing, that’s one. If you are not like putting certain things in place, you’ve got to get those small wins. If I was talking to someone who was very overweight and then they are telling me they are okay. I have been eating all this bad food throughout the day. I drink a ton of soda. I would say, “Continue eating what you are eating. Forget it.” Let’s start with, how do I start eliminating soda from my diet? Let’s try that for a week. It’s something simple. It’s funny because I had a friend and she was talking about, “Every morning I go to Starbucks. I order this Mocha Frappuccino,” whatever the hell it is and it’s like, “How do we start cutting that down little by little? After a month, what does it look like if you are having a black coffee?”
It doesn’t even need to go there but the point being is, how do we get these small wins and start building on that? When we are done with that, let’s start looking at diet because those are going to build on each other. The issue that you have with everybody when they start a diet is, as I say before, they go in 100% and then after 30 days they are exhausted, then they go binge and they give up. It’s this vicious cycle going over and over versus let’s get some small wins and keep it going from there.
Interestingly, you mentioned understanding where you are. I used to love having coffee like the Mocha Frappuccino. They taste great and it’s so sugary. It gives you energy. Tons of calories and sugar are probably toxic for you but not only from a health point of view. Making those decisions every day to take that down what is doing to your body but also the amount of money we are spending. It’s $7 to $8 for one of those things, ice-cold, hot, whatever you want to call it. We could be rerouting that money into eating a little bit healthier. A lot of people say, “Eating organic is so expensive,” but we are looking at the other choices that we are making. It’s taking stock of where you are but then also being okay with, “These are the decisions that I made in the past.
“Here I am now. What do I want to go moving forward?” That’s coming to awareness and being okay with where we are rather than beating ourselves up, “I let myself go.” Having those thoughts and putting energy into that thinking is not going to help us get to where we want to go because where we are right now being a result of former actions. If we want to get to a better result, later on, we need to start making those little incremental changes as you talked about.
You brought up a good point because a lot of people would feel guilty about letting themselves go. That’s one thing that I harp on in the book. It’s super important. That’s okay. If you are doing the right consistent things over time, you are going to be able to let yourself go every once in a while. I will give you a perfect example. I was out in Colorado. I had a couple of Bourbons with my friends. I’m eating tacos. I was eating whatever I wanted to eat. I had a guilty pleasure of the tacos. I pretty much eat that all the time. They are not that bad for you but the point is I was eating pretty much whatever I wanted. I was snowboarding but I wasn’t keeping track of it. I wasn’t worried like, “My diet. What am I going to look like when I get back?” Who gives a shit?
The point is that I have my routine, and then as soon as I get back to New Jersey, I’m back in that routine, and then things will fall into place. You need to be able to live your life that. If you have the routines in place, you don’t have to worry about letting go or if you go on a week vacation, you are pigging out and having a good time. Who cares? You should be able to do those things. That’s important for people to know because you shouldn’t feel guilty about that. If I’m working hard, I have been going hard for the past six months, I’m getting a lot of wins in terms of my business, and then for two weeks, I veg out and don’t do anything, I’m not going to feel bad about that. I will go back to work and I will keep hitting it hard after that. That’s the mentality that people should have once they get the routines in place.
It goes to a point that you have made in the book talking about the Pareto Principle, the 80/20 Rule. Tell us a little bit about that. You essentially want to create the right habits and do 80% of your energy in that then the 20% of it can be the pizza, tacos and all this.
I pretty much look at my day and I try to tell whoever is reading the book to look at their day like, “How many meals are you having?” I go into a bunch of different principles of how you are going to approach that, the broad strokes are what’s my system. My system is that for lunch, I’m probably going to have XYZ that might look like I will have veggies, chicken, steak or insert meat here, then I will have places that I go to so I can have a little bit of variety then I apply that to dinner. I will try to make sure that I’m eating healthy for Monday through Thursday and then maybe Friday or Saturday lunches will be healthy. Friday, Saturday dinners, not so much. Sunday, maybe it’s a split. As long as I have that system in place, most of the work has already been done. I can let loose when I’m out with friends on a Saturday or Friday.
A lot of times, especially for me, when I make the worst meal decisions, it’s when I’m not prepared. When I’m starving, I’m on my way back from work and I’m like, “What can I get quickly?” I will go get a Falafel which is not a terrible thing to eat but at the same time, if I plan out, I have five different places. These are certain meals that are the healthiest, then you can choose. One day, I will go to Sweetgreens but having that system in place so that it takes the work out of making rash decisions because when our blood sugar starts dropping, we need to find something quick. Maybe a dessert or a cookie is attractive at their coffee shop. That’s another thing you talk about. Not snacking on the bad stuff but having a bunch of stuff with you at all times so that you can satisfy your hunger.
The other thing that you mentioned is ideally what you try to get people to do. Again, this takes time. Nobody wants to hear it but it’s the truth. I want to get people to a point where they are not even thinking about it. You shouldn’t be worrying about your diet. I have heard I have friends that are girls and they have met guys who are like, “I can’t have that slice of pizza.” I’m like, “What the hell?” I’m not going to feel guilty about having whatever type of food. That’s insanity. You should be doing whatever you want and not thinking about it. If you get to that point and you have all these things and systems in place, you are going to be good to go. You won’t have to worry about tracking calories. You don’t have to worry about, “Did I go to the gym?” Everything is already going to be in motion. It takes time to get there but the point being is that you shouldn’t have to think about it. It shouldn’t be taking up all this mind space because that gets to the point where that’s unhealthy from a mental perspective if you are constantly thinking like, “This calorie, did I work out, etc.” That’s important to note too.
You talk about this three-step process of cue, routine and reward. That was pretty interesting that I read in the book. Tell us a little bit about that.
Whoever reads the book, check out The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. It’s super fascinating. That’s where I’ve got it from the cue, reward, habit. It’s like every day at 12:00, I’m bored. Cue then my reward is I’m going to go grab a cup of coffee and then I get caffeinated. That ends up becoming a habit because I’m constantly in the “I’m bored.” Now, I’m triggered to get something that’s going to caffeinate me then I’m going to grab my coffee. We can insert something like cookies and donuts. I can imagine your stereotypical corporate office where you’ve got all that stuff sitting around. It’s like, “Start adding that up.”
What you are saying about like, “I do $7 to $8 Frappuccinos every day.” Now you start adding that up across five days a week. You are putting that junk into your body. It’s going to add up after a year. It’s going to be harder to get rid of that action after a year as well. You don’t have to bring stuff with you all the time. I’m saying be prepared. Have an idea of like, “If I have that trigger, then maybe I can go grab something else.” The other thing is if you are eating the right foods, you are less inclined. If I’m eating all foods with a lot of fiber and healthy fats, you are going to be in a good spot where you are satiated. That’s another thing to keep in mind too. If you are eating quality food, you are most likely not going to get those random hunger pains throughout the day versus you are eating not-so-great like processed food.
What are some of the healthier foods that you recommend for people like some healthy hacks that we can carry with us daily?
When you say healthy hacks, do you mean places to go?
Places to go for actual meals and then snack foods.
The places to go are going to be relative depending on what area you in. At the time I wrote the book, I was working on a flat iron so I had Sweetgreens, Chopt and Chipolte way. Believe it or not, you can get a pretty healthy meal at Chipolte. I like to get fajitas, beans, chicken and guac. That’s a healthy lunch. It’s got a lot of good nutrients in there. It’s still fast food. It’s the place to go. The other thing too and what I would have is almonds and fruits. I was lucky enough for the kitchen in my office to have a lot of healthy snacks like that.
Typically, I try to stick with whole foods. I would even stick with things like peanut butter, not a ton, almond butter with a fruit, a banana, apple or something like that. If you don’t have access to a kitchen, bring in carrots or celery. It’s the stuff that’s easy to put in a Ziploc bag. You can throw it away. It’s not a hassle. You don’t even need to put it in a plastic container or whatever that you have to lug around with you because I hated doing that so much. I’ve got to pack my lunch. I’m going to bring this. I’ve got to wash it. It’s pretty stupid but it annoyed the hell out of me. It’s like, “How do I do this? I don’t have to worry about bringing this with me all the time. I can put something into a Ziploc bag, eat it and be done with it, and then not have to worry about bringing it back.” It’s little things that will help to keep you in line.
We are entering this warmer weather now and everybody has COVID bodies from the COVID fat that we need to shed. It’s like eating desserts. Now people are ready to come out, get together, go to restaurants and stuff like that. There are a lot of pressure to drink alcohol, eat food and all this stuff. What advice can you give us in terms of how to manage that wave, surf that and also, maintain your new programs and systems that you want to create that bring you more help with your life?
The biggest thing to start with is wherever you are at, you shouldn’t worry about it. The mentality you should have is getting started is better than doing nothing. I know that’s much easier said than done but that is the truth. You can sit here and you can beat yourself up about whatever body image or maybe I didn’t do this or that. This applies to all facets of life. Getting started is the most important step. I would say you are going to go out there with friends. You want to manage that wave depending on where you are at. Take a survey of that and get an understanding of you are far behind and you’ve got into these unhealthy things.
The first step is understanding what you are doing and what you are putting into your body in a weekly basis. It’s a pain in the ass to do. Nobody wants to do the upfront work but once you get a sense of that, then you can start saying, “What am I going to eliminate? What am I going to cut out?” Slowly, start working backward from that. When it comes to going out with friends and drinking, I would say do it. If you have a handle on what you are doing on the daily basis, you shouldn’t feel guilty about having fun with friends. That’s what part of life is about.
The goal ultimately is I want to have a quality life and I’m going to do that with a healthy body. I’m not going to sacrifice going out with friends or having an extra couple of beers because I could have got to 95 and I only got to 90. That’s a crazy way to think. That’s what I would say to everybody coming out of this. Get a handle on what you need to do. Don’t feel guilty about going out with friends and having drinks. It’s an important part of our relationship with food as humans. We are wired and programmed to eat together, talk together and break bread together. That is in our makeup as human beings. You shouldn’t feel guilty about that.
The stress that we put on ourselves in the pressure was like, “I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t eat this.” That alone causes a lot of health problems because you are putting some cortisol in your body and that’s a poison. That’s not going to help you lose weight or anything like that. Be where you are. The majority of the time, you are taking care of what you need to, and then it’s good to have human connection, enjoy and break bread as you said because what is this life all about other than spending good quality time with your quality friends and enjoying life. Life is short. Why not enjoy it doing a responsible way but not limit yourself or pigeonhole yourself into this particular religion of philosophy of how we eat, how we drink and how we do all these things but at the same time, drinking a lot of excessive amounts of alcohol will derail you in your goals.
That’s another thing too. I know I talk about that in the book was focusing on certain alcohols instead of others. It’s not going to be a big deal if you go for sugary drinks or whatever. Maybe you are on like have a Piña colada, who gets this. Who cares? Stick with drier wines. Don’t put a lot of Sherry additives, and then eat before you drink. That way, your stomach is a little bit more full and you are not going to fall into this habit of over-drinking or overdoing it.
You gave us an awesome overview of the philosophy behind food, choices and everything like that. Tell us a little bit about happiness and how it comes into your life once you start making these changes, feeling good about your body and the decisions that you are making.
Once you start getting a grip on the choices that you are making, you become more confident. The immediate changes are going to be your mood levels, feeling better about the day, lighter and more focused. You don’t get those crashes. If you are someone who is working, especially in a job where you need to perform or think you are a knowledge worker, it’s going to help a ton. You will think clearer. You feel more focused. You will feel overall in a better mood. Those are the things that you are going to feel right off the bat, which is going to translate into better decision-making and more quality into your everyday life.
Cognitive clarity, there are so many factors towards it. If we are taking a lot of sugar in or drinking a lot of caffeine, these are all things that can affect us. We think that it’s helping us in the short-term. I’m getting an energy boost but it’s very simple to exchange that. It takes a little bit of time to start drinking green juice, getting the nutrients that your mind, your body needs, and then you can perform better than you would if you were drinking caffeine all day. These are longer-term goals and ideas but the things that we put into our body is going to affect our output and our performance in every aspect of life. Thank you so much for talking about all this and giving us an overview of what your book is all about. It’s cool. I love the fact that you are offering it. I know that you mentioned that if people sign up for your newsletter, you are going to give them a free copy. Is that correct?
That is 100% sure, they can. You can follow me, @BusyPeopleBuildHealthyHabits on Instagram. I can send you the sign-up for the book. I have also got some free video content there as well. If you sign up, I will be writing a second book that will be geared more towards fitness habits. Whoever signs up from your audience, there will be on the list for a beta version. They can get free access to that before it goes out on Amazon.
That’s generous of you. Thanks so much. A couple of questions I want to ask you as we wrap up. Why do you think that you came here as Andrew Kobylarz to planet Earth? What did you want to experience here?
I was reflecting on this question a lot. I’m not sure. It’s weird. I don’t know necessarily how I feel about purpose specifically. Everybody has got innate gifts and stuff like that. Ultimately, I’m going to build and create. With those things, help other people, be in loving relationships and experience everything that I’m interested in. I’m interested in a lot of stuff, and then see where it takes me from there. I know that’s an ambiguous answer but a big part of life is enjoying the journey. Hopefully, that makes sense in terms of the answer to that question.
There are no right or wrong answers throughout the show. The last question is, what does God or spirituality means to you and what role does it play in your life?
Health Habits: Getting enough sleep, moving around, exercising, and eating well are simple stuff that people don’t talk about and take for granted once it’s gone.
I don’t ascribe to any specific religion or anything like that. I do believe that there is a higher power and ultimately, you read any religious scripture. There are tried and true themes. It’s loving yourself, love others and treat others well. Those are the main tenets that I try to live by. As much of that as I can do, give back. We generally take it for granted that we’ve got a lot of good stuff going on in our lives and it becomes all about you but it’s pretty crazy. I’ve got emails like, “This is super helpful advice.” I didn’t take any money for it. It felt good to help someone out and that could be going to charity. That’s how I thank God and how that drives actions in my life.
Thank you so much, Andrew. It’s so nice to tap into your limitless mindsets. The one common thread for everyone that I interview is they are all about contribution and helping other people along this journey. I honor you. I thank you very much and I encourage everybody to download that book. Sign up for Andrew’s newsletter. Are there other places that we can find you?
I will be setting up a new newsletter on Substack. You can also check out Quora. I’ve got some articles there. If your readers can check out my stuff, I would love to read it all. I will be happy to give them that book then also the upcoming one as well.
I appreciate you. Have a great day. Thanks.
