December!
December can be VERY tricky if youβre following a diet plan.
The best advice I can offer is to simply do the best you can do, while being kind to yourself.
When I say be kind to yourself, Iβm not suggesting that you give yourself permission to eat anything and everything!
Quite the opposite.
Iβm suggesting treating your body with the respect it deserves.
Being kind to yourself is eating foods that are high in nutritional value, that nourish your mind, body and soul instead of diminishing them. Making you FEEL better.
So when youβre surrounded by all those tempting foods and drinks, please remember, your real friends are water, lots and lots of it, along with real foods, the protein and veggies as listed in your Step 2 and 3 lists, and of course your 1:1 products that are nutritionally balanced, and help you stay full.
These are the foods that will love you back. The alcohol, the carby, surgary, fatty and fried food, just make you feel bad when eaten in large quantities, so try your best to stay clear of too much foods that don't help you to feel good. These can be fitted into a balanced diet though, there's no such thing as 'good' or 'bad' foods. Just foods that are quite on plan and what you WANT.
β¨ Minimum 2.25 litres of water per day - water is you secret weapon - the more you drink the better you feel!
β¨ Just 3-4 short days of sticking to plan 100% and stabilise your blood sugars again, you will be feeling back in control, no longer bloated and back in the zone. 3 days to feeling good again. You can turn this around, know that you have the power.
β¨ Get moving. Something as easy, free and simple as 30 mins a day of walking can make a huge different to your physical and mental health. Make time for it, even if in 2 blocks of 15 mins. Every step counts.
β¨Make a plan/plan ahead by booking your next consultation now, or book that restart or initial consultation. Keep doing the best you can.
