At some point, clients will shift from just being unmotivated to being really discouraged. They might say things like, “This is so hard” or “I don’t think I will be successful” or “I feel like I’m failing.”

It’s that time of year again, back to school time. Creating new schedules and establishing new routines is a great time to start implementing new healthy habits! Join us for our Back to School Challenge starting September 18th, for 6 weeks, and see how much you can accomplish!

Do you find yourself unable to be consistent with your macros? Do you go for a while and then fall off? Or are only able to hit them a few days a week? There are a few reasons this MIGHT be the case!

Let’s talk about navigating the balance between food quantity and quality.

Have you ever seen someone make a miraculous transformation only to regain it all back? Losing weight means very little if you can’t KEEP it off. I’d rather see a client lose 5 pounds and KEEP IT OFF for 6 months than lose 15 and gain it all right back.  Anyone can put themselves through a severe calorie restriction for a time, but our bodies simply can’t sustain this. The more weight you lose, the more your body will eventually want to compensate by eating more, because our bodies will always be fighting for maintenance.  In addition, severe calorie restriction leads to muscle loss which can cause our metabolism to slow, which makes that rebound weight gain surge, long after your “diet” is over and you’ve returned to your typical eating pattern.
