I want to provide you with an amazing mindset shift that will help change how you view your health and fitness journey.
Most diet programs focus on a common theme - restriction.
Keto restricts carbohydrates
Whole 30 and paleo restrict dairy, grains, legumes, and sugar among other things
Herbalife and Optavia restrict calories through meal replacement shakes
Even something as innocent as cutting out artificial sugars focuses on restriction
Dieting as a whole has had us focusing on how can we restrict the foods we eat in order to achieve smaller and/or healthier bodies. It's a common theme that has been prevalent in the industry for decades.
Here's where that mindset shift comes in First name - what if I told you that you can improve your health and reach your goals by focusing on how you can ADD to your diet.
So many people are dieting in effort to lose weight without realizing the power of eating more and achieving body recomposition. By intentionally fueling your body, you can have better workouts and achieve better results by increasing muscle and strength.
Instead of looking at your diet and finding things to cut out, you can look for ways to improve through adding foods. How can you add more whole, real food protein sources? How can you add more nutrient-dense carbohydrates? How can you add more fruits and vegetables to your daily nutrition? How can you add more healthy fats? By increasing your consumption of nutrient-dense foods, you'll find that your cravings for processed foods will go down and your satiety from your meals will go up.
The concept of adding versus subtracting can shift your mindset in your health journey towards feeling EMPOWERED instead of at the mercy of food. You'll see more opportunities to make decisions in alignment with your health and goals instead of seeing restrictions holding you back. Your relationship with food and your body can heal when you see the potential food provides instead of viewing it as the enemy that is working against you.
I understand it can be challenging to look at your current nutrition and see opportunities if it's something you're not used to, so I'm here to help. I offer free nutrition consultations - you provide me a glimpse into your typical day of eating and I'll in turn provide actionable feedback on how you can improve your nutrition based on your lifestyle and goals.
