Many think it is time to hit the gym. Gyms are the most crowded during the month of January and taper off around March. But you won't get the results you want with a bad diet. Many say it is all genetics. The truth is it is 70% nutrition, 20% activity, and 10% genetics. Yes you heard me right, blaming it on your genetics ain't gonna cut it.
I will give you an example. A very over weight woman in a grocery store struck up a conversation with me. She mentioned all of the healthy stuff I had in my basket. I told her I like to keep healthy and in shape. She then started saying that she would like to but "genetics" just wouldn't let her get that body she wanted. I looked in her basket and saw, honey buns, mac and cheese, LOTS of soda, breads, frozen fries, pre-fried chicken, etc. I didn't see any fruits or veggies in there. I mentioned to her about the contents in her basket compared to what I had and she said that she loves to eat. I told her eating wasn't so much the problem as much as the choices she was eating. Basically, to sum up the conversation, she said she was going to eat what she wanted. I told her she would never achieve her health goals that way, gave her my card, and told her if she ever changed her mind to call me. It has been over a year. No call.
Some people don't know how to eat healthy. They want to eat healthy but just don't know how. There is so much help out there for this. If you want to have pre-prepared menu's and recipes then I would love to suggest going to Http://beachbodycoach.com/coachseanx and clicking "join". For 38.95 every 3 months you can have access to a meal planner that gives you recipes for the week and a shopping list. All the guess work is removed. You just got to make it!
The point is though, you got to get your nutrition in check if you want to make any healthy changes. It isn't a diet. It isn't a fad. It IS a lifestyle change that is better for you and your loved ones. Get your nutrition in check and you will begin to have more energy, a healthier heart, and a lower blood pressure just for starters.
You can do this. It takes 3 weeks to make or break a habit. So let's break the bad eating habits and create healthy eating habits, together.
