STOP EATING LIKE A CHILD.
This may feel a little in-your-face.
WE PROMISE we are not judging you if you struggle with your eating habits.
SO MANY PEOPLE succeed in most areas of their lives, but for some reason, have a really tough relationship with food.
Accomplished, successful, INTELLIGENT adults often come to us because they have YEARS AND YEARS of bad habits to break, and they just need guidance and support.
If you're there now, it's ok!
A lot of our clients come to KW Fitness and sign up for our nutrition coaching program because they are looking to make real, LASTING change with their health.
They are looking to stop making excuses and start WINNING at this "food thing".
They are sick of dieting, sick of being confused about what they should be doing, and frustrated with making bad choices all the time.
If you struggle with your eating habits but are looking to make changes for the better, KEEP READING.
For the last 12 years, we have helped women and men lose weight, get stronger, get rid of medications, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, and make real, lasting change with their food choices.
Change doesn't just happen overnight, though.
It needs to be a complete mindset shift!
In order to see TRUE change, it's SO important to re-evaluate how we think about food.
Dan John is an author, speaker, and strength coach.
In his book Mass Made Simple, he says:
“Here is an idea: Eat like an adult. Stop eating fast food, stop eating kids cereal, knock it off with all the sweets and comfort foods whenever your favorite show is not on when you want it on, ease up on the snacking and, don’t act like you don’t know this, eat vegetables and fruits more. Really, how difficult is this? Stop with the whining. Stop with the excuses. Act like an adult and stop eating like a television commercial. Grow up.”
Although this quote seems harsh, Dan has some really great points that we should reiterate.
Here are some tips for "Eating Like An Adult" that are great habits to help you gain momentum with your health & fitness goals!
1) IF IT WAS MADE BY A PLANT, EAT IT! IF IT WAS MADE IN A PLANT, TAKE CAUTION!
We live in a culture where there are SO MANY food-like substances, rather than actual foods.
Because we are all so busy and on the go, it's easy to grab pre-packaged, processed, convenience items.
Even the packaging can be deceiving because, for some reason, the FDA lets companies label food as "healthy" when it's not!
Whole foods ("the real thing") are always your best bet!
Highly processed foods can wreak havoc on our insides.
2) ENJOY IN MODERATION
A little ice cream here or there is ok.
Ice cream every night may not be the best idea.
Make your indulgences worth it and memorable!!
3) MESS UP AND MOVE ON
If you fall off track, jump back on track with your next meal!
Don't let yourself go into a downward spiral.
Self-sabotage can be SO EASY if you let it.
Take the emotion out of it, FORGIVE YOURSELF, and MOVE ON.
Punch that mess up in the face with a big leafy salad with grilled chicken, and move on with your life.
When you get control over your eating habits and let yourself be human every now and then, it is the most freeing feeling ever.
WE truly wish that for you if you are having a tough time with your eating habits.
Don't let it define you.
Happy Eating!!
