Not diets but healthy nutrition habits:
The fitness industry has spent many years and tons of money developing the belief of using diets to lose weight. Diets have been created for the purpose of sales and marketing, by people interested in selling a book, workshop, or seminar. Diets attack the problem but not the cause; they’re a band-aid. Understanding nutrition isn’t about eating the ‘healthiest’ products. Understanding nutrition allows for the greatest chance of the body to Consistently receive the nutrients it needs to perform optimally. If there is a consistent pattern of “healthy” nutrition, the body will work effectively even if the “diet” isn’t perfect (To be clear, your diet is different than being on a diet. Being on a diet is following a program; your diet is what your food intake looks like.).
The goal of Nutrition at Training Aspects is to help create healthy, consistent habits that are sustainable in a society fortunate to have food and water readily available. Creating a steady habit of the right nutrients allows the body to stay lean, be powerful, perform, and, most of all, be healthy.
Whether it’s everyday fitness people, on-stage competitors, developing athletes, or college and pro athletes, it works. Create the foundation of consistent habits. Create a consistent foundation, then adjust as needed for the goal set.
The Training Aspects nutrition process:
Stage 1: Log your food—Don’t adjust; share what a regular week actually looks like. This allows us to get a feel for what habits we could work on.
Stage 2: Identify—What are 1 or 2 habit additions that can be created and added into daily life?
Stage 3: Implement and test—Create a plan for success and start doing it.
Stage 4: Retest and progress/hold—If the plan worked, Great! Is more needed? Then we progress. If the habits that we created are all that are needed, then we stay where we are.
Nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. Simplify the daily nutrition commitment, get rid of the expensive nutrition gimmick products, and find a suitable plan for success.
