How To Fail At Nutrition: What Path Are You Taking?

Taking care of your body is a lifelong journey. The goal is to have a long and healthy road ahead, unless of course you are failing at nutrition and can't figure out how to get on a better path.

What does nutrition fail mean? For you it could mean chronic digestive problems, or frustrating weight problems, or any number of health problems such as skin issues, allergies, trouble with focus or concentration, daily pain from arthritis or some other illness that affects your quality of life, diabetes, high blood pressure, or a host of other health challenges.

I believe there are a couple of things that come before you can be successful in turning the fail around. Two things, I think, stand out if (pretty much) anyone is failing at their nutrition.

This article is not about specific nutrition information or even about the changes you need to make with your nutrition. It's more about the choices that you have the power to make. (Not to get off topic but you can plug these concepts in to any area of your life where you may be struggling or failing.)

Two Reasons Why You May Be Failing at Nutrition:

1) Failure to find help

The first consideration is that today we have access to information like never before. So if you have a problem or a struggle, you can choose to research solutions. The first thing I do is to do my own research, and then I ask questions.

However research alone is not going to solve the issue. That brings us to the second consideration.

2) Commitment to change

You have to want to change, choose to change, and commit to that change.

The body is amazing in that it can respond amazingly to changes that you choose to make. I believe it can heal itself in many areas as well. The key is that you have desire to make the changes and that you stay committed to them.

Let's explore these two options.

How To Find Nutrition Help

Of course if you have a trusted nutrition source, start there. Also subscribe to some health news sites or be a regular reader of the health sections in your favorite news website. You will find information that is new or new to you. For example I am writing this article soon after I saw news that the FDA has (finally) decided to remove products from store shelves if they contain harmful antibacterial soap ingredients. You might miss news like this that can be harmful to your health.

If you regularly search for information about any kind of subject, you have your favorite way to search and I encourage you to do that in regard to your nutrition and your health. Some helpful searches start with the following examples and then you plug in your problem or desired solution after these words: "Best ways to", "Top 10" (or Top Ways, Tips, etc. with any number in front or no number), "How To", or simply type in your problem or solution and see what information you get.

How To Commit To Nutrition Help

When you find what you need to do to get your desired result, how are you going to make the changes you need to make? How are you going to stay committed to those changes? I've always heard it takes 21 days to form a new habit. I've never seriously tested this, but I do realize it takes time. But even more than time, I believe it takes commitment. And in addition to commitment being required to make change, it is needed to realize success.

This second part may require some research as well, and there is so much help available in whatever form you choose. Many of us have purchased books (could be sitting on your bookshelf right now) that can help us with self improvement, and in this context motivation for commitment. There are daily emails you can subscribe to or apps that will push out a notification to you daily. Or, maybe you have someone who you can talk with and be an accountability partner to you.

Ignoring the commitment part is a big set up for fail. You can have every good intention to do something, and it is hard enough to change in the first place. If you're not 100% committed to the change, it's going to be even more of a struggle. Whether you need a book to read, someone to talk with, or someone or something reminding you to keep going, be sure to include this part. And if you need help with this step, contact us to help you get started.

Nutrition Success = Feeling and Being Healthy

Succeeding at nutrition is not all about the nutrition itself. It's about you. It's about desire. It's about research. It's about choices. It's about commitment.

In conclusion, if you are failing at nutrition, consider your choices. Are you finding ways to improve your nutrition? Are you acting on those choices? Those two things can take a fail to a win!
