"I just eat whatever I want and then go do some intense exercise and still get results, right?"
Ummm....nooooot really.😏 And especially not as we age.
Let's have some real talk here Ladies...from my experience, not only in life, but with female clients, this doesn't pan out in your favor.
➡️Here's why: oftentimes we will consume foods that are high in processed carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, etc...and all of that "energy" can't possibly be used up quickly enough through exercise, so instead it is stored........as fat.......on your body.
🌱Additionally, as we age, the metabolism of our bodies decreases. You may have noticed that in your 20's this idea of eat whatever you want and then just go exercise it off was possible...but now, maybe you've had one or more kiddos and you're getting through your 30's, 40's, 50's and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
💫Hormones play into this as well, but that could be a whole other post. But hormone fluctuation is not a crutch to living this type of unhealthy lifestyle with nutrition.
The reality is that, NO.😕 You cannot out train poor nutrition.
Reducing processed carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, bad fats, and increasing fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats....ALLLLL the things that you've heard a million times, but maybe have been ignoring...really is the key here.
💜Making adjustments over time to create and sustain a healthy lifestyle is the PRIMARY focus when I work with my Wellness & Nutrition Coaching clients. I like to focus on things that are already working and adding things that are helpful towards your goal. I don't do restriction. I don't term foods "bad" or "good" and I don't create you nutrition plans. Because I want to help you learn how to feed yourself and not have to be told by someone else what to do.💯
