1. Making sure you’re eating enough to fuel your metabolism
so that your body feels safe letting go of unwanted body fat. Our clients are often surprised to learn that eating too LITTLE can actually prevent them from losing weight, because it puts their body into a constant state of stress as it tries to preserve energy.
2. Selecting the right foods for your brain chemistry
based on your personality type, which will reduce stress, improve mood stability, and make you feel more like yourself. We’ve found that this makes our clients more likely to stay consistent and follow the plans we set for their nutrition and training with less effort.
3. Eating the proper ratio of macronutrients
to achieve the lean physique you’re looking for. We specifically target body fat so you get more toned while building or maintaining muscle. (Don’t worry – if you’re tired of tracking macros or anything else about your nutrition, we use an approach that starts with eyeballing your portions on a plate and we progress to your being able to intuitively understand what your body is truly asking for. And if you really like tracking, we can also build an approach to incorporate that.
4. Assessing your existing training routine
so that we can tweak your nutrition to best fit your workouts. Or we can create a training program for you if you’re bored or lacking motivation from your current routine.
5. Monitoring the stressors in your life
the amount and quality of your sleep, how much daily movement you’re doing, and your hydration. We make specific recommendations throughout the program for how to tweak or install better habits in these areas. All of these factors affect fat loss.
6. Integrating things you enjoy into the process
like alcohol, restaurant meals, and social events. We monitor your progress weekly and we can give you a pretty good idea of when you can eat freely/indulge without it affecting your overall results. This helps a lot with reducing stress/anxiety/obsession around food.
