4 Reasons Why Diets Do NOT Work
- Losing weight in only a few weeks is completely unrealistic. In 3 weeks, you will not be able to lost weight that you gained over a span of 10 years. Time and effort will need to be put in consistently in order to see results. Keep in mind that it is never too late to start!
- Don’t restrict your eating! Eating less is not healthy for you. When your body is hungry and food is the only thing on your mind, you are exposing your self to mineral and vitamin deficiencies. This can put your health at major risk. Instead, seek the help of a professional (we can help!) in order to be educated properly on how to transform your body.
- If your diet is not personalized, it won’t work. Every Body is different. The nutritional needs differ from person to person. There are many “fad” diets out there, however it doesn’t mean that is the correct diet for you. Everyone has nutritional needs, food taste preferences, and states of health that are unique to us. Our diet needs to meet this criteria.
- If you aren’t consulting with a dietician or nutritionist, you may be doing it incorrectly. Eating balanced and healthy is a long road so it is best done with professional expertise.
Once you understand your diet, and learn how to cook your meals while meeting your nutritional needs, you will be on track to success. Because this is a long term goal, you need to be able to be patient and maintain a balanced diet over time. Please feel free to contact us for any questions, or schedule a Free Assessment today!
Holidays and your health
You may be overwhelmed with the amount of sweets and treats being brought into the office or holiday parties. Sometimes the holidays can bring a bit of stress onto ones shoulders. Everyone handles stress differently. It is important to maintain your healthy diet through this time-but it also doesn’t hurt to indulge a little bit. Remember, everything in moderation! You don’t want to deprive yourself completely, but you also don’t want to put a damper on all the progress and hard work that you have been putting in. Continuing your everyday exercise routine, consistently seeing your Personal Trainer, and staying on top of a healthy diet are a recipe for success this holiday season. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your body and can also result in poor decision making when it comes to food. Consider opting out for a sparkling water or limiting yourself to one drink on occasion.
