Here's the bottom line...
Some foods make you feel 💩 and are super easy to over consume.
I don't think anyone in the history of the human species has ever gotten a serving size of pasta right.
Certain foods put us into a super negative spiral.
They drain our energy, cause brain fog and make us even more likely to crave & over consume those foods in the first place.
A lot of people will try to defend certain foods by asking what's "wrong" with them.
In my humble but accurate opinion...
A better question to ask is;
"What's good about them?"
Aside from tasting good, there is very little positive about foods like gluten, dairy, hyper-processed sugars & hydrogenated fats.
High in calories, low in nutrient density and they f*ck up your gut.
Cutting them out might be inconvenient in the short-term whilst you learn how to swap things out.
But I have never, EVER had a client say they feel worse for doing so.
Send me a message if you have any health goals that you're struggling to achieve.
Motivation keep ghosting you?
Here's my checklist of how I make sure it's there when I actually need it.
1. Having something to aim for that is better than where you are right now.
And you should have a pretty clear idea about why achieving that thing would make your life better.
I.e. being in better shape will mean more energy & self-confidence.
2. Know the next 2 steps to start you moving towards that thing.
If your goal is to build muscle & get leaner, you could start following an exercise program and do something to improve your nutrition, like cut out refined grains 4-5 days per week.
(You don't need more than 2 things, it's easy to lose motivation & start feeling overwhelmed when you get lost in the detail & try to plan everything).
3. You need the energy to maintain enthusiasm.
It's impossible to feel excited or inspired if you're exhausted.
A LOT of the time, a "lack of motivation" is just low energy.
Send me a message if there's something you'd like help with right now.
I wish I was joking...
One of the most important things we can do, if not THE most important thing...
Is to increase the nutrient density of our diet.
That means consuming more vegetables & fruits.
Chronic malnourishment, or micronutrient deficiency is a leading cause in causing cravings.
(Especially sweet foods).
If you're ever unsure about what to do with your nutrition, this is by far the best place to start.
As you increase the nutrient density of your diet, your mood, energy, sleep & recovery will improve dramatically.
Don't let any f*cknuckle try to tell you that fruit makes you fat.

I've been feeling stuck & frustrated more often than I'd like over the last few months.
Whenever I ask myself this question, it gives me a more productive course of action than sitting in my own pity party & digging myself into a mental hole.
Save this post as a reminder for whenever you're feeling stuck!

I've found a lot of value in avoiding looking at my phone in the first & last hours of the day.
It's not something I always manage to do, but I notice a significant difference when I limit social media time to certain times of the day & hyper-processed foods to 1-2 days per week.
If I let my brain do what it wanted to do, I'd literally just be scrolling 18 hours per day, eating ice cream.
(With a few breaks to go to the toilet...but I'd probably take my phone with me).
Whenever I get it right, I can feel my brain relax and my overall feeling of wellbeing increases dramatically.
Having a few rules can help.
Like not unlocking your phone for an hour after you wake up...
Or only letting yourself sh*t quality, addictive foods on a certain day of the week.

Take control of the simple habits which have lasting effects.
Sunshine.
High quality nutrition (not just counting calories & crash diets).
Daily movement.
Go to f*cking bed earlier.
Drink more water.
Take the time to learn how to care for your body and your mind.
It's worth it.

Learning to challenge your stories with better questions can transform the action that you're prepared to take.
Learning to take a step back and ask;
"will this question help me to find problems, or will it help me to find solutions?" is a skill that genuinely changed my life.
It's not something you'll always get right, I certainly don't.
But remembering this as often as you can, and changing the way you think is one of the best things you can do to increase your chances of progress.

What do you think about this quote? 🤔 Agree or disagree?
The fact that these things are becoming increasingly common, is a sure sign that there is a disconnect between how we live, and what our mind & body actually need from us.
There's no quick fix, but there are certain research-backed practices which can start to reverse these things.
That's why next week I'l be launching a free 14 day trial of my program, to help you build sustainable habits, and become strong, healthy & find your energy.

In a world where burnout is common and hustle culture is the norm...
It is up to us to take responsibility and prevent these things from affecting our physical & mental health.
Recognising these signs early and knowing when to slow down will speed up our progress overall.
If our psychology suffers, so will our physiology.
Take a break, take care of your mind & body.
