Eat less, exercise more. In four words we have the answer to obesity.

The truth is, it's not that simple. In a world where logic rules maybe, but in this place we call reality things are different. 'The strongest will survive' - wrong. An ESS (Evolutionary Stable Strategy) is not based around the strength of an individual, but the stability of the pact. I've found the (ES Strategy) works just as well when applied to everyday life. Let me explain.

Extremes such as 'I'll eat less and exercise more' tend to fail as we exists as 'multiple state beings'. The number is infinite but to help explain, imagine we have 10 states of mind. When we make this decision/thought it's owned and exists in a single state. If done correctly this thought will traverse across all 10 states of mind and you'll achieve your objective. However to create a thought that traverses across all states is difficult but possible. Lets examine a common example.

Imagine our 10 states as extreme emotions, positive, negative, happy, depressed so on and so fourth. In a moment of depression you decide 'I'm going to lose weight', you're psyched and strong willed, that is until your state of mind changes and your priorities are no longer the same. The depression has lifted as you've taken action to address the problem but over time, your new state of mind has it's own agenda which is not losing weight. Over time you spiral down into depression and this loop continues until you you've lost faith in your own ability to achieve certain goals.

Each state has it's own strengths and weaknesses, goals and desires. Some people excel in one or two states, some more, others none. This is down to genes and environment in our logical world.

Then good news is we all have the ability to maximise the chances of 'thought propagation'. We just need to know how
