Healthy eating is a way of life, so it’s important to establish routines that are simple, realistically, and ultimately liveable. What does healthy eating mean to you?
Since the first time I can remember having thoughts about food until after I became a training and nutrition coach, healthy eating to me meant losing weight. In my head, if someone had weight to lose, they’d do that by eating healthier. If someone was already slim, it was because they already ate healthy. However, you can be at a relatively low weight without eating healthy, and you can also be at a relatively higher weight whilst having a very healthy diet. What’s more – and most importantly – health isn’t limited to weight, and healthy eating influences far more aspects of wellness than just your body size. So, how can you improve your diet if you don’t want to change your weight? I’ve got you! Each of the nine tips in this article poses a challenge to help you form a new eating habit. These aren’t meant to be hard and fast rules, but rather starting points to give you a specific target to shoot for. Goal specificity is key to tracking your progress, and progress is key to success. Without further ado, let’s dig in (pun obviously intended).

There’s no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way – diet and exercise and stick to it – and be able to do it at your own pace. Cravings can throw a spanner in the works of the best planned fat loss diet. After all, whoever craves celery sticks?
It’s much more common to yearn for cookies, brownies, cupcakes, chips, pizza, and other not-so-nutritious food that packs a caloric punch. So what can you do when you get the irresistible urge to reach for the cookie jar? Let’s talk about not only one, but five potential solutions to your craving situation. You don’t get to the highest levels of the sport without having the basics in order. What if you’re doing everything you can to build muscle, but you’re still not getting the results you expect?
You don’t need a better pre-workout drink. You don’t need to hop on a new program from the latest fitness magazine. You don’t need to sprinkle more protein powder over your problem. What you need is this article. (I talk big, I know.) Are you ready to take the start of 2021 as a new beginning to upgrade your physique? Then read on to learn three simple steps that can make your training three times more productive. Successful weight loss takes programming, not willpower. Around this time last year, I released an article on how to manage your diet over the holidays, with options if you count calories and if you who don’t, so you can click on the link if you are looking for some tips on budgeting your calories or food portions.
Today, I want to delve into some mindset tips that will help you enjoy this time with less guilt and without having to give up on either your fitness goals or the holiday mood. So I’m going to cover:
Without further ado… Tackling plateaus is what clueless people on the internet do instead of tracking, reviewing, and deciding. Wrestling with plateaus is what people do instead of waiting. You know that you need a caloric deficit to lose fat and you have done the math to work out your starting calories.
Great stuff. Fast forward a few weeks: You’ve been dieting hardcore and you’ve seen some losses… but now it looks like you’ve hit a plateau. Well then, time to lower calories. Wait a second! Is this really your best option? It’s true: When fat loss plateaus, increasing the calories you burn or reducing the calories you eat will help you kickstart the process again. However, opting to lower calories as soon as the weight on the scale stops moving might be overkill. So, in this article, I’m going to cover:
