Don’t worry that children never listen to you, worry that they are always watching you.
Society is flooded with fad diets and products promising weight loss. The problem is… is it sustainable, does the product or diet teach you anything that you can continue long term? Is it something you want to pass on to your children?
This is where we normalize yoyo diets and the need to buy products to attain “health”.
When in reality all the building blocks are available in the kitchen. Learn and show how to use the everyday food as a tool to lead a healthy lifestyle and stop the cycle our society has created.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED FOOD but I was in the fitness industry long before I learned how to use it as a tool to meet my goals. Working at a few gyms, running a gym, and working myself stage ready I always focused on the workout instead of the nutrition. And my nutrition came from people trying to sell products so it was the wrong nutrition. My first bodybuilding competition was a of disaster. It was the most restrictive I have ever been, the most limited, the most supplements and the worst outcome!
I crashed hard, HARD!
Fast forward a few years and kids later I had 70lbs to drop and started the flexible lifestyle! It was the piece of the puzzle that had been missing. Flexible dieting brought into focus what I had been missing…HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD TO MEET YOUR GOALS, instead of how to restrict and combat my food with supplements and over exercise!
Set yourself up for long term success and let them see.
