It's about time I did a repost of some of my opinions on health and nutrition.... Below is an exact copy of a post I did back I did a while back - I think a lot of people really need a little reminder of this every now and again.

~~ ๐Ÿ…ป๐Ÿ…ด๐Ÿ†ƒ'๐Ÿ†‚ ๐Ÿ…ถ๐Ÿ…ด๐Ÿ†ƒ ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ…ด๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ป ~~

This is something I've wanted to talk about but have stayed quite for a long time now.... it seems to be getting a lot more prevalent so it's time to have my two cents...

'Diet Pills & Shakes' - This includes the likes of isagenix and herbalife....

We've had a few bootcampers be approached about this recently so I feel like it's time to share some thoughts.

I'm sorry to shatter the illusion that some people may be under - BUT a diet pill or diet shake is NOT going to give you the body you've always dreamed of or keep your sanity. There are NO magic pills or quick fixes - you didn't put the weight on through 1 pill or 1 shake so why would you expect it to come off so quickly?

The only reason that anyone may loose weight initially under any of these type of programmes is due to them being low in calories - generally speaking lower calories = weight loss. It's how ALL diets work - they create a caloric deficit which means that you loose weight! It doesn't matter if it's an isagenix style diet, atkins diet,cabbage diet, banana diet or just plain eating clean - stripping the processed (ie. high calorie) foods out of your diet will definitely make you loose weight.

So, yes you could potentially loose weight at the beginning going on these pills and shakes - provided you don't overeat outside of these (which to be fair is pretty darn hard for most of the population to stick too!).

So let's talk about how sustainable this approach is.... how long do you think you could enjoy having just shakes (or shakes + 1 meal a day) or pills every day for?? A day, a week - maybe a month? I don't know about you but my sanity and enjoyment of food is way too much to ever go on something so strict. We do have a HUGE food culture (a little too much in my opinion), but we do get enjoyment out of food and the company and friendship that often ensues with a good meal. This is the reason why most diets DON'T WORK in the long term!

Restriction is high in the beginning when motivation is also high, our body then starts screaming out for proper nutrients (and something that actually tastes good / something to chew!) and most people end up bingeing. This shake/pill/binge cycle can go on for a long time for some people or a short time for others - at the end of the day MOST people who ever go on something like this end up weighing WAY MORE than they ever did to begin with after a few months of finishing (or caving) in these type of diets.

Then let's talk about the cost - the one I've seen mentioned the most often is $400 a month - ummm, I don't know about you but for me that's a huge chunk of change to not even be able to enjoy your food! Throwing money at a get fit/skinny quick solution is a surefire way to feel broke pretty fast as there are no such things as short term solutions.

I have no problem with the MLM style of direct selling - in fact I am a Scentsy consultant and have been since the first week it ever launched - the difference being that I am not pushing a product that I don't believe in and that is not sustainable. (I also don't push it on bootcampers! If you want to find out more ask me, if not that's cool too!)

Know that here at Wanganui Bootcamp we promote a well rounded diet and exercise programme that does not include huge restrictions (we believe in balance!) and definitely will not ever promote something like isagenix or herbalife or anything similar.

Everything you need you can get from real food - yes there are occasions where supplementation can help get nutrients you are deficient in, but for most people real 'clean' healthy foods 80-90% of the time along with the occasional treat and a good exercise programme can do wonders. The key - consistency!

Change your thoughts and you change your world ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Have you ever listened to the language you use every day? Whether itโ€™s the voice in your head during a workout or when you look in the mirror, or spoken out loud to a friend.

We give all of our energy and focus into what we donโ€™t want, instead of what we do want and wonder why things stay the same. We are creating our reality with the thoughts and stories we tell ourselves.

Just re-framing your perspective can be powerful in feeling more hopeful and believing in yourself, but in creating the reality you DO want.

Maybe it sounds woo woo and crazy.... but if youโ€™re not happy where you are at, why not try it for yourself.

What is something you tell yourself all of the time? Are you making it true for yourself? How can you re-frame it into more of a neutral thought?

Which one of these will you be borrowing?

I just wanted to remind you once again that the number on the scale ISN'T the only method of determining whether or not you are making progress.

Markers of improvement that aren't related to the scale are often referred to as NSV which is a Non Scale Victory ๐Ÿ‘

Solely focusing on a number will set you up for a let down if you donโ€™t hit that number, and if you do get to your ideal number on the scale, likely it wonโ€™t stay there. Our body weight fluctuates daily due to a number of reasons including the food we've eaten, stress, sleep, hormones, hydration etc.

Your happiness shouldnโ€™t depend on what the scale says, seek to feel a certain way and move towards that with more of your decisions that you make around fitness and nutrition.

Find your NSV and things that are wins for you so that you can learn to enjoy the weight loss (or strength gain!) journey ๐Ÿฅฐ

Here are 3 things you can do to help develop a growth mindset:

1๏ธโƒฃ Try something new or hard and practice it for a few weeks. Donโ€™t look at the things you did โ€œwrongโ€ โ€” focus on the new skills learned and your improvements over time. Be patient with yourself, just like youโ€™d be with a child learning a new skill.

2๏ธโƒฃ Get support. Thereโ€™s nothing like a pep talk (or a friendly drill sergeant!) to motivate you to keep trying. Struggling to learn a new skill? Take a class or hire a coach.

3๏ธโƒฃ Become a detective. When things donโ€™t go well (it happens to everyone!), instead of beating yourself up for it, investigate what happened: detach your emotions, figure out why, come up with another approach or solution, and try, try, again!

Working with a coach is a GREAT option to help develop a growth mindset.

Often we are too close to our situation to see the big picture. A coach can help you step back and pinpoint the best actions that work with your goals, your lifestyle, your current bandwidth, and your schedule.

This is exactly WHY we put such an emphasis on coaching a healthy positive mindset around health and fitness at Wanganui Bootcamp.

I love hearing the reasons that you love Bootcamp!

I'm not the best a tooting my own horn but I really want to help as many people as possible to find their fitness place, find the place where they can really feel themselves and put in their best effort without feeling judged. Sometimes seeing that others love something can help you to give it a go for yourself โค๏ธ

To have the ability to take it easy on those days where you barely even made it in to us and would have rather stayed in bed or driven straight home after work. To be able to slam some balls really hard and pretend they're someone's face that really got you worked up that day if that's what you need or if you're having one of those days that everything is just going amazing that you can come in and be pushed and also have an amazing workout!

I'll just come out and say it, we've created a pretty special place where EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT (kinda like life right?!) and you can start where you are and finish feeling accomplished and satisfied whilst working within YOUR capabilities! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’“
