Raise your hand if youâve done something like the story belowâŠdonât worry we all have at least once. đ
For us at the fitness studio, itâs a new client or challenge participant getting ready to start training with us at Method3. Theyâre nervous and excited to see some results. Itâs maybe Thursday, and theyâre getting started on Monday.
HoweverâŠThey show up Monday bloated with low energy and 3 pounds heavier!
Why, you ask?
Because they literally binged on all of their favorite and soon-to-be âforbiddenâ foods! Iâve seen people create huge setbacks for themselves in the name of not being able to have what they love ever again.
And honestly, if you approach any workout or nutrition plan with that mentality, you will usually fail. Itâs that simple.
This is a truth that MUST be told. And yet some people believe, for one reason or another, that it has to be this way to get results.
However, there is no âall or noneâ in health and fitness. In fact, no food will truly ever be âoff limitsâ in our opinion. (Note: The only exception to this might be an extreme addiction someone is battling with food or alcohol where complete removal is necessary.)
So how do you solve this tricky equation?
It can be as simple as smaller portions, decreased frequency of consumption, or preparing healthier alternatives to your favorite foods.
But there is never a reason to believe that youâre going to have to say goodbye to bread and cheese forever. đ
So, have you ever approached a fitness program with this mentality of ânever again?â
