It’s kind of contradicting, isn’t it?
How I’ll show up talking about how I’m going to slam some spicy fried chicken for dinner but then the next morning I’m talking about how to win your fitness journey, right?
Hear me out here:
I always make an effort to show you guys when I’m out to eat, or having donuts, not because I’m trying to set an example that processed food is good for you, or that it should be a staple in our diet.
But because I want to normalize what a realistic, healthy and balanced lifestyle looks like. Not just solely show you 200 calorie no-carb, no-fat snacks that taste like dryer sheets.
Yall, too much of a good thing, is a bad thing...even a healthy lifestyle.
If your diet is made up of restriction, with clean, whole foods, yeah you’ll probably see the results you want. But what about the lifestyle you want? Where does that come into play?
If your diet is made up of too much freedom, only junk and processed foods, yeah you’ll probably have the lifestyle you want, but your physique will reflect your choices. Is that any better?
My diet consists of about 80% fuel and 20% of food for my soul, and I highly encourage my clients to strive for a similar balance in their life.
For me, a balanced lifestyle means to prioritize fueling my body (80% of the time), but not passing on the foods that are less nutrient dense here and there, that make my life more fun. (20% of the time)
That’s where we create a LIFESTYLE vs. a DIE-t.
When we can find a healthy balance with our food where we can train like an athlete, see results without sacrificing a smore with our family or our anniversary bdubs? That’s golden.
You can live a healthy lifestyle without deprivation. There IS a solution that isn’t ALL or NOTHING.
So if you need me, I’ll be over here, living my 80/20 life, posting my drive through food, seeing results and showing you what’s possible with flexible dieting and I won’t stop until I can help you see that too ✨
