WHY WE EAT WELL ⠀
-⠀
I think it’s really important to know WHY you might WANT to eat well (not just feel like you should)⠀
-⠀
Let’s start with eating well.. what is that? I would say it’s generally a diet including lots of vegetables, adequate protein intake, variety or fruit and good fats. You’re satisfied after each meal, you have enjoyed the food and it makes your body feel and function well⠀
-⠀
How you eat FOR THE MOST PART is absolutely going to affect how your body looks. Ever heard that saying ‘one salad doesn’t make you skinny’ or ‘one burger never made you fat’ ? Yet there is so much stigma about ‘cheat meals’ ‘guilt free’ or ‘bad foods’ - when people ask me ‘is this bad for you?’ I never just say yes or no. I generally say ‘depends how much / how often’ ⠀
-⠀
What is a bad food? Usually foods with high calories and low nutritional value. Your body knows the difference. And if you listen to your body, it will tell you which it prefers. Making good food choices isn’t actually that hard and the benefits are endless. You feel better, function better, look better (not even just fat loss/ fat gain, your skin just looks better)⠀
-⠀
I know that when I have been making poor food choices, it affects my motivation to exercise or even just be productive. But I don’t beat myself up about it. I don’t feel guilty if I ‘treat myself’ and enjoy a night out, celebrate an occasion or just have an occasional lazy night in with take away. It’s not how I live 90% of the time, and allowing myself that freedom makes my life more enjoyable⠀
-⠀
Knowing why we eat well in the first place makes it easier to get back into the swing of things. Acknowledging being ‘healthy’ as your lifestyle rather than an 8/10/12 week fix is always going to be more sustainable. Knowing that you will get back into your routine soon enough allows you to enjoy those celebrations, holidays or whatever it is WITHOUT GUILT ⠀
-⠀
So please, don’t feel bad for eating ‘bad foods’ don’t PUNISH yourself with a workout because of it. Eat well because you want to FEEL well. Treat yourself so that you can ENJOY your life. Workout because it makes you feel good 💪
