Nutrition
It starts in the kitchen
Most likely, our portions are going to be too large, which leads to over eating. Then to try and find a solution, we tend to explore all type of diets, from low-fat, low-carb etc.
Basically a lot of us have tried most diets on the market – going back and forth without actually achieving sustainable results. Never really finding any that fits, which leads to the yo-yo effect or weight cycling. Initially we successfully lose some weight, but because these diets are so restricted in terms of what we’re allowed to eat, they leave us constantly feeling hungry and/or unenergised. And when we eventually realise that the current diet is not sustainable we stop, which leads to us unfortunately regaining the weight. Then we seek to lose the regained weight by trying out a different diet (fingers crossed this is the one!) – the cycle begins again. Where is the fun in this? They say, the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result!
Let me help you implement real nutritional strategies to achieve sustainable results
First and foremost we will deal with the main source ‘Portion Control’. Then we discuss planning an effective meal patern, so your body is not being starved of the required nutrients such as fats, proteins, carbohydrates etc. Macro counting is one way – This is when you count the macronutrients – grams of proteins, carbs and fats – you’re eating within your calorie goal, and in what ratios.
Worry not, if you don’t feel the need/desire to track the numbers – I will develop a non-calorie/macronutrient based plan.
Another effective way is eating for your ‘Body Type’. First I will need to establish your body type, then we can implement the correct nutrient percentages to suit.
Lets face facts for a diet to be sustainable we need to have some freedom and variety to our meals!!
