What I Wish I new when I first started…

I remember going around in circles and being frustrated because I would always end up back at square one. One week I was trying to eat low carb and the next I was trying Keto.

If you’re feeling like you’re going around in circles and not making any sustainable progress you’re probably where I was a few years ago.

And only one thing is going to fix it! Stop looking for quick fixes and magic diet pulls that you can only stick to for 2 weeks because they’re so restrictive.

Please don’t start your January by starting a low carb, low fat, low sugar, low fun, low happiness diet.💜

You don’t need a diet. You need a mindset shift.. You don’t need to be massively restricted to lose weight. You need to have a plan to implement a lifestyle change so that you can enjoy food within your calories and macros so that not only do you start to see results, you can also stick to it.

When I learnt this I started to see results. Instead of ending up at square one because my diet was too restrictive.

I was able to chose foods that I enjoyed but foods that also provided my. Bond with the nutrients and fuel it needed to be healthy.

I used to feel demotivated, groggy, tired and unhappy because I was looking at my diets as something I didn’t want to do.

I now feel happy, energised and motivated because I’m enjoying the process.

I always say….

It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change!

You may be scared when I say this because you don’t want to change your whole lifestyle but why wouldn’t you?

If you do, your whole life will change for the better and you will start to become a happier and a more confident version of yourself that you are proud of.

So you can’t tell me it’s not worth it!

Rumour has it…

You don’t need to cut out your favourite foods to lose weight! 💜

Often clients come to me to join coaching because they say they keep failing at diets and end up in a yo-yo diet cycle.

They often say things like “diets don’t work for me”

Sound familiar? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The reason diets don’t get longterm results is because they’re super restrictive and hard to stick to.

Let’s face it we all enjoy a donut now and then, right!? 🍩

Donuts and chocolate can all be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet and you certainly don’t need to cut them out all together.

With my coaching I teach my clients how they can eat nice normal tasty food and still lose weight as you don’t need to live on just chicken and broccoli 😆

If you’re feeling frustrated with your weight loss and feel like you’re going around in circles because you can’t stick to a diet, I can help you.

Why rest days are just as important as training 💜🤍

Lots of you guys message me saying you feel guilty for taking rest days so I felt as though it was important for me to write a post to reiterate how CRUCIAL they are:

So here are some reasons why you need to take rest days.

1️⃣ Your muscles adapt, grow and repair when you REST - not when you’re training hard in the gym. If you don’t rest then you won’t make any progression with your physique. It’s as simple as that!

2️⃣ It prevents mental burnout/ getting to the point where you dread your workouts.

3️⃣ It reduces stress on your body. Training itself is a stressor & having too much stress can cause high cortisol levels which increases water retention, bloating poor sleep, increased cravings and the lack of motivation to train.

4️⃣ It prevents risk of injury. Trust me if you’re training hardcore day in day out, you WILL increase your risk of injury…which will only come back to bite you on the bum when you have to take weeks or months away from training.

5️⃣ Boost motivation! I always feel a lot more motivated to train the day after a rest day.

6️⃣ Gives your CNS (Central nervous system) a break

7️⃣ It actually enhances long term progression from a sustainable lifestyle perspective. If you train 24/7 and adopt the “no days off” mentality, there will come a point where you physically and mentally want to throw the towel in and give up completely.

I had a rest day today (I tend to have 2x rest days a week) but I always listen to my body and I will take more rest days if I’m feeling sore / if I’m struggling with my sleep or if I’m feeling run down.

So make sure you have your rest days and don’t feel guilty for it as you will always benefit from it. 👊🏻
