Thankful to have travelled to Hawaii on our annual girls trip this year. We may have given up running for the time being but we replaced it with beautiful hiking, ocean views, waterfalls, wild waves, peaceful sunsets & delicious food. It was the rainy season and our weather was not perfect but Kauai is food for the soul and my gratitude was multiplied as the trip came directly after a number of life challenges.

A question I get a lot - “How can I stay fit with everything I have going on?” If you want to be successful long term…have a strategy for all those times you would’ve just done something else because you didn’t have the time to complete a full workout.

Do you like sushi? I like it pretty well and I think of it as being pretty healthy. But when you eat sushi, WHAT exactly are you eating? Fish? Rice? Spicy mayo? Eel sauce? Soy sauce? and HOW do you categorize 🍣 as part of your daily nutrition?

❓

I think most of would say sushi rolls are fish and rice. True, but as you'll see (and laugh) when watch the video, your perception of sushi is probably different than the reality.

Were you surprised after you watched it? Did you have any shifts in your perception about what sushi is? Hopefully you at least got a laugh.

My hope in sharing this is to shed some light on how our perceptions can impact our choices. We ALL have cognitive bias and (ps to all my smart friends...intellect does NOT negate cognitive bias). What we THINK about is not always based on facts but it IS what guides our choices.😮

Some of the ways your biases could be showing up:
*labeling food as "healthy or unhealthy"
*misunderstanding hunger cues
*putting foods in the wrong macronutrient category

Examples of the origin of bias can be things like:
*Family eating patterns learned in childhood
*Experiencing food insecurity
*Your emotions
*Past experience with body image, weight, etc.
*Marketing & advertisements
*Products available for sale at food stores & restaurants

To name just a few. This is one of the things that can be subtly taking you in the opposite direction of your goals.

WHAT?
Yes, your perception of what you are eating can have more influence over your choices than facts and be taking you away from your goals.

One of the things I try to do as your coach is teach people how to put an end to subtle thoughts and habits that sabotage and stay consistent so they can go forward. That's where the Eat Lean Challenge comes in. You should check it out. DM me to sign up!

Did you know avocado is a fruit? More specifically a berry - WHAT!? This 'berry' contains lots of healthy things like magnesium, potassium, folate, vitamins K, B6, E, and C not to mention carotenoids, monounsaturated fats and fiber. PLUS...they taste great! Almost everyone loves avocado don't they? With all that monounsaturated fat you can almost feel your LDL getting lower every bite. One last tid-bit...did you know you can use avocado as a face mask moisturizer? Who knew?...at last - the secret to eternal youth I've been waiting for!

My favorite way to eat 🥑 is guacamole...(or is it avocado toast🤔) - as soon as it's on the table all I can think about is "how healthy this is" so I try to put as much guacamole as possible on every single chip. Sometimes I take half a chip and put 3x too much - like a huge mountain of guac on it and just hope it doesn't fall on my shirt...Now that I know about the face mask I'll be having the internal battle...do I eat this or put in on my face in hopes for miraculous new and youthful skin.

With all it's health benefits, can you think of any scenario in which you should stop eating it or not eat it? (I wish there weren't) Depending on your goals you might not be making the right choices, even for healthy foods like avocado.

Thats when things can get challenging. When something is healthy it's easy give ourself free reign...no matter how many chips it takes. We don't think about the possibility of negatives. Who can blame us?

The Eat Lean 5 Day Challenge helps you think productively about food and focus on your goals. It opens the door for you to make better, smarter choices while still enjoying all the deliciousness food has to offer. DM me to sign up (it's free) and start eating to reach your longevity, physique and performance potential.

Check out these two meals...can you tell which one is better suited for helping you reach your goals? Or how having a portion of this can easily fit into a healthy nutrition plan? What about how to balance this with other food and drink while on vacation? These are just a few of the things I work on with clients so they have a strategy to reach their LONGEVITY, PHYSIQUE and PERFORMANCE potential.

It took me years of practice and lots of reading, studying and listening to lectures to learn how to Eat Lean, the nutrition program I teach to take your nutrition to its highest level. Sure, the nutrition basics are understood by most people, but it often takes much much more than basic info to consistently make nutrition choices that facilitate our highest potential.

The Eat Lean Mastery Guide and challenge covers three crucial steps you can use to take your longevity, physique and performance to the next level.

DM me and I'll send you the guide and sign you up for the 5 day challenge!
