Eating Better For Your Lifestyle

Counting calories to reach your goals doesn't work for everyone.

It's very common to struggle with restrictive calorie diets.? This approach tells you WHAT to eat instead of?teaching you?how to practice eating better within the context of YOUR lifestyle.?

So, while you may be able to get results initially, you could actually end up regaining all the weight you lost (and more). And you begin to realize that this approach simply doesn't work in the long run.?

Long term body transformation looks like this:

? losing weight (and keeping it off) you haven’t been able to shed for years.?

? gaining mental confidence so you can really start living.?

? learning to eat better in a way that feels easy, consistent and automatic within the context of YOUR life.?

You can experience all that a healthy lifestyle has to offer every day for the rest of your life!

Try this skill:? Eat your meals until you are 80% full.

This one skill will help you tune into your physical hunger cues, help digestion and keep you satisfied (never feel starved). And, it will help you lose weight and maintain it long-term, all without counting calories.

"How do I know when I've reached 80% full?" This is a question I hear many times from clients.

So, here's a handy visual guide to help you know when you've reached 80% full, and how to stop when you're satisfied, not stuffed.

Practice this in every day life….

??First, learn to pay attention to how your body feels as you eat. This takes some practice, so eat slowly (so you can assess your fullness level).

??Second, the?exact?80% number doesn't matter as much as knowing when "you've eaten enough."

? Eating a?little?less than you’re used to can work for you and help you reach health and fitness goals.

Keep eating better and moving more!
