Tip #3 for Month

Look, the simple truth is no one ever got fat from eating fruits and vegetables.

Do fruits have a fairly high carbohydrate content? Some.

Do they also contain a lot of really helpful micronutrients, fiber, and water?

Yes.

Take for example our favorite diet hack:
Watermelon

Why? It contains just 140cal in 1lb !

Toss a big salad dressed with salt, pepper, and vinegar or a big bowl of watermelon into your diet and help to curb hunger and cravings!

Not coincidentally is down 8lbs in 4 weeks since starting with Nutrition Coaching!

Struggling to hit your protein goal is a very common issue, but the most helpful piece of the puzzle to overcome!

🗣TRAINING IS BETTER THAN “WORKING OUT” …..

Great, but what’s that mean?

It means that they are different things, with different purposes.

Specifically, that they exist on a spectrum of Movement from “Activity” to “Training”

There are 3 key components to help you identify what you’re doing currently:
•Planning
•Intention
•Structure

So what’s the takeaway here?

If you have a different goal than someone else, but you’re doing EXACTLY the same thing…

It’s time to evaluate if you’re actually training

Or if your training isn’t really training.

Tip #2 of

One Fat Source in your meals is enough.

You’re probably thinking “I don’t even intentionally add fats to my meals”

So here’s what we mean:
•Any food that has +60% of it’s calories coming from fats is going to be considered a “fat” source

ESPECIALLY when trying to lose weight it is going to be important to be conscious of how much fat we are getting in our diet since it can sneak in where we don’t expect it.

•Cooking methods
•Foods we don’t realize are high fat
•Mistaking fats for carbs

Here’s some examples:
-Cooking with oil and later adding cheese to a dish
-Believing peanut butter is a protein source instead of a fat source
-Thinking things like donuts, ice cream, or fast food are “bad” because they are high in “carbs” when they are actually more of a fat source and high calorie for that reason

One fat source per meal.

Start today.

When that 5:00am conditioning gets spicy and you feel your soul decide to go take a break 🥵

“I can’t hit my protein goal for the day”

Is probably the most common thing we hear when starting to change your diet habits, especially for fat loss.

This month we’ll be posting a series of tips on nutrition and how you can improve yours one step at a time.

Getting in 2 protein sources per meal is an easy way to sneak it in piece by piece and start to improve your overall intake!

For example:

Current Breakfast:
2 Eggs + Toast + Coffee
New Add-On:
1 Scoop Chocolate Whey Isolate in Coffee
+20g Protein

Current Lunch:
Chicken Breast+Rice+Veggies+Sauce
Add-On:
200g Plain Greek Yogurt
+18g Protein

Current Dinner:
Steak+Potatoes+Veggies
Add-On:
5oz Shrimp
+20g Protein

Add in a protein heavy (1:10 rule) snack in the day, and we’ve got an additional 70-90g of protein with those simple changes…. And I KNOW some of you are looking at that going

“Wow… that would double the protein I eat in a day….”

So pick on meal this week, and add another protein to it!🔥💪🏼

Confused? We know. Let us explain.

Exercise alone is a poor strategy for fat loss.

It’s like someone telling you they are going to shoot you, and you can either unload the gun or wear a bulletproof vest…

And you choose the vest.

Exercise, more specifically following a Training Program, is incredible for a number of things and improving certain fitness qualities that will have the residual effect of reducing body fat.

But mostly what should be prioritized in a training program is just that…improving things like:
•Muscle Endurance
•Maximal Strength
•Aerobic Capacity
•Balance
•Mobility

And then taking your new & improved body and leveraging those qualities outside of the gym to perform recreational activities at higher intensities and for longer, using more energy in the process, and resulting in fat loss when paired with a diet that supports that goal.

This mix up most frequently occurs with “conditioning” where you should be pacing appropriately to increase your aerobic capacity/sustained intensity, and instead usually is short, painful, HIIT training that has a small metabolic effect, but no measurable long term benefits.
