Fix your food!

I’m a little time-poor today – so here’s a short message which I carry on about often – if you’re not losing weight, you need to change what’s going in your mouth. End of story.

Don’t blame it on your exercise, don’t work out more, or look for some new ‘craze’ – just eat better.

Stop chasing your tail. If you eat too much, don’t expect to be able to burn it off the next day. You won’t. It took me years to realise this, but when I did I was amazed at how wrong I’d been about the ‘burn it off’ theory.

Exercise will make you look and feel fitter and stronger, it is amazing for your mental well-being, and the muscle you build will go a long way to keeping your metabolism firing. Exercise is great, keep doing it, but don’t expect to lose your fat if you don’t change your eating habits too. There’s no point having a great metabolism if you’re over-eating every day – it will never be enough (unless you’re a gigantic body-builder or elite athlete) to lose the fat.

Remember this is only relevant if weight loss is your goal… if you’re happy with your current weight and you eat a nutrient-rich and balanced diet, then carry on!

But if you’re not happy with your current body-fat levels and you’re giving training your all, then it’s time to give eating your all as well!

If any of this resonates with you, PLEASE have a chat to me about a nutrition session. There’s different approaches we can take to changing eating habits, and I’m open to guiding you with whatever works best for you, your lifestyle and your family life. I’m not into making you eat something you hate, or can’t manage or maintain. There’s no point eating something you hate! We need to be adaptable in order to keep up your new eating habits for life.

If you’re ready to stop banging your head up against a wall and going around in circles – make the decision to get your food sorted!

Hope you’re all having a great day, keep warm!!
