I can talk about my partner like this as he never looks at my content 😂😅

The study found that a brisk 30-minute walk was more effective than the previously recommended 10,000 steps…
Don’t throw away your pedometer just yet though, let’s separate the fact from the fiction and look at the bigger picture at 7:45 📻🎤

Oops… did you do it again? 👀

Overate before dinner because you got home starving?
Opened the w**e you promised you wouldn’t have because you’d had a stressful day?
Ordered everything on the takeaway menu because you were ravenous?
This is exactly what I’ll be asking my nutrition clients to look at this week…

I’ll be asking them to identify 3 moments in their week where things tend to go off track and we’ll plan how to handle it before that moment arrives. Goals like “I want to lose 2 stone” is fine but it’s destination, it doesn’t help you tackle the journey of what to do at 8pm on a Tuesday when you’re tired, hungry and negotiating with yourself about raiding the cupboard.

So the plan is simple:

“When ______ happens, I will ______.”

Eg “When I finish work starving, I’ll have my planned healthy snack on the way home rather than arrive home over-hungry and binge whilst cooking”.

“When we have a takeaway Friday, I’ll choose what I’m ordering before I’m too hungry.”

Most people don’t need another diet plan.
They need better coping mechanisms for the moments that derail the plan they already have.

If you keep finding yourself in the same situation and making the same wrong turn, don’t keep relying on more willpower, have a plan!

Your goal tells you where you’re going, but your systems decide whether you’ll actually get there.

Ps if you don’t have a system, that’s what my nutrition coaching does 😉

It makes absolutely no sense, does it?

You’re so full you couldn’t possibly eat another mouthful of dinner…
Then the dessert menu arrives and somehow you’ve got room.

There’s actually a fascinating reason your brain does this and it’s not because you have a second stomach specially for dessert— it’s because fullness and wanting food are not the same… 

* Your body has a ‘fullness system’ designed to tell you when you’ve had enough. Your stomach stretches, gut hormones are released and your appetite should gradually fall (this is what happens earlier when people take GLP-1s)

* Your brain also has a reward system but the 2 systems are driven by different desires..

You’re not searching for fuel after dinner, you’re searching for brain rewards and the lovely chemicals that get fired off (serotonin, dopamine etc)

So next time you find yourself wanting to eat but you know you’re not hungry, try and learn to recognise the difference between hunger, fullness and simply ‘wanting’ as it can completely change your relationship with food.
If you’re not sure how to tell it all apart get in touch 💚

I heard today about a fellow coach who has 300 clients, but uses AI to respond to them all (the clients think they’re directly talking to him too 😱🤯😳🤖)… but over here it’s just me and what I can achieve 6:30am - 7pm, so from time to time I have to prioritise quality over quantity…

It won’t be forever and I’ll open the books again soon, so drop me a message for the next intake…

Also sorry about the lack of social media posts! Also down to being so busy - more hours please!

Sometimes we can’t imagine ourselves ever being any different, let alone knowing how to get there if we did want.

A good coach will consider where you are, where you want to be and write a sustainable and enjoyable plan to get you there and ensure you never go back.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and can’t see a way out drop me a message, it’s my job to ensure people get what they want, even when it gets tough…

Ps the swan constantly on her back? That’s me with daily messages, motivation and encouragement to ensure you don’t quit on yourself 💚
