Staying Hydrated in Winter
5 Tips to Increase Your Water Intake
As the temperatures drop and the air becomes drier during winter, it can be easy to overlook the importance of staying properly hydrated. Unlike the warmer months where thirst may naturally drive us to drink more water, winter can deceive us into thinking we're adequately hydrated when in fact, our bodies still need a sufficient intake of fluids. Here are three essential tips to help you maintain optimal hydration during the colder months:
Salad is NOT dinner.
In the quest for shedding extra kilos and achieving a leaner body composition, many people turn to salads as their go-to meal option. While salads are pack with nutrients and low in calories, relying solely on them for a complete meal isn’t the most effective strategy for fat loss. The key lies in understanding the concept of macronutrient balance and NOT just always opting for the lowest calorie options when deciding what to eat.
Don’t start in the deep end
Imagine being dropped in the ocean & told to swim 3kms back to shore without stopping. Sure it’s technically achievable, you can swim but that’s a HUGE ask without any training or preparation right? You are likely to panic, use A LOT of excess energy, lose direction and most likely call out the closest boat to get you the hell outta there.
It’s Time to Write Your Own Success Story: Why Generic Diets Don’t Work and What Does
There are tonnes of meal plans and “get fit” programs out there that lay it all out for you. A “recipe for success” or a “weight-loss playbook”. They seem like they have all the answers and the results seem guaranteed. It'‘s hard to deny their logical sales pitch and yes, if we were house plants, it would work… so why doesn’t it? Why isn’t everyone achieving their amazing results?
What does it mean to be truly “healthy?”
I want to chat to you about what it truly means to be healthy. There’s physical health and there’s mental health. I believe they are joined at the hip and you cannot sustainably have one without the other
The art of change.
I could give you all the healthy eating & exercise advice i have, but if you aren’t ready for change you’re unlikely yo take any of it on board (just like all the advice on the internet).
We have to be READY to make a change.
I don’t have time.
This is the number one excuseI hear from clients / potential clients and it’s 100% valid.
Beware the BEFORE and AFTER PIC!
If results look too good to be true; extreme results, quick results, no effort required…. Listen to your spidey senses, these claims are rubbish!
Exercise ISN’T the only answer…
A lot of people I talk to assume they only way to lose weight is to get to the gym more, run everyday & really push themselves hard with strenuous exercise. And that just sounds too hard, so they stay where they are.
The sugar craving con
Did you know Cadbury packaging is dark purple because studies have shown humans are drawn to this colour when we are feeling depressed? They are using colour psychology to kick you while you’re down and make you believe chocolate will make you feel better. Hmmm… not so sweet now is it?
Crazy 4 calorie counting
I am seeing an increasing number of diets, coaches & clients fixated on one thing…
An over-reliance on calorie counting. Restricting foods to fit within a calorie budget and counting the calories burned with increased exercise.
Healthy eating should NOT leave you hungry.
The key to weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight is NOT withstanding hunger. Being hungry IS NOT part of a healthy diet. I don’t know about you but I HATE being hungry! It makes me grumpy, sad, tired and a mega bitch. It usually leads to over eating and poorer food choices.
Holidays vs health goals…who wins?
Holidays should NOT be ruined by health goals and equally, health goals should NOT be ruined by holidays. They aren’t opposites.
Good nutrition Vs will power
🥗Having good nutrition doesn’t mean you’re better at flexing your will power muscles. It’s not a constant struggle where strength is required. It’s NOT fighting your hunger with all your might.
