There Is No Perfect Combination Of Foods
November 3, 2019
I Only Had A Few Handfuls Throughout The Day
November 4, 2019

We don’t have to get rid of foods we love when dieting but we have to pick our battles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dieting should be for a relatively SHORT period of the year. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods every day for the rest of your life…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT if you’re in a period of fat loss you have to space them out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a lot of clients that travel either for work or fun & we work on choosing which meals will have more calories, typically at a restaurant and having their other meals lower calorie.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️We ALSO work on choices at the restaurants. A burger is almost 1000 calories & more fats than most people can eat for the entire day when dieting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻So choosing something ELSE that still fits their macros but maybe isn’t the most “fun” meal on the menu will allow them to still be social AND still reach their goals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯For example I am in Florida & my mom made these PB muffins especially for me. Was I going to say no?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Absolutely not!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍫But the macros were about the same as a candy bar (aka high fats/moderate carbs/low protein)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when we went out to dinner I ordered a low fat/moderate carb/high protein choice!!
🍤Grilled shrimp salad with mango, red onion, red pepper, a little crab salad & dressing on the side for the fork-dip method.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍗Did I want to Buffalo wings or quesadilla that my family got? You bet your ass!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤩But I also want results. And I know that NO foods are “off limits” but if you’re trying to achieve weight loss or just live “healthier”, we can’t have ALL the amazing things ALL the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋🏼‍♀️We’ve gotta put our big girl panties on & be adults about achieving a goal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to eat all the fun things all the time, that’s totally cool! But make sure you’re realistic about your physical goals 💥
Do you struggle with this? It’s very normal & takes work to reframe our habits!
