Want a Customized Eating Plan?

 

It can feel confusing when you think about trying to lose weight.

There’s always some fad diet to try. Or food to avoid.

So let me make it easy on you…the truth is pretty much all diets can work! The common thread that makes them all equally good choices? They have to be sustainable for that particular individual.

Here is how you know if the diet plan you’ve used is a good one for you: Regardless of the weight you lost, the plan was only good if you were able to keep most of the weight off.

That doesn’t mean parts of the plan weren’t good. Just the plan, as a whole, wasn’t the plan for you.

But, have no fear! The good news is, the more times you have tried to lose weight, the more you know about what works and doesn’t work for you!

So ditch that story about nothing ever working for you! Stuff has worked for you….maybe just not the way it was originally packaged.

So here’s what we’re gonna do, we are going to build out your customized plan by asking 3 simple questions:

(Think about every diet you’ve ever done)

  1. What part of the diet worked well for you? These are the habits/changes that you enjoyed. Were easy. Gave you results. Felt sustainable.

  2. What part didn’t work? These are the rules that felt really hard. You found yourself constantly “cheating on” them or couldn’t wait until you finished with them.

  3. What parts of those diets *could have worked* if you slightly tweaked them? These are the guidelines that you could mostly do, but maybe not forever. For example, perhaps you were doing a diet that required you to cut out sugar and flour, but you still found yourself wanting dessert. Instead of following that rule perfectly, perhaps you could cut out flour, but not sugar. So having some chocolate, instead of pastries, could have served you.

Now let’s build a plan!

Obvs, we’re gonna ditch the stuff that didn’t work. Instead, we are going to pick 1-3 things that worked for us in the past, or we think could work if we tweaked them a bit.

And we’re gonna implement! I encourage you to start small. If you’ve got 3 things to try and you’re not fully confident that you can do all 3 things at once, scale back. Try 1 thing.

Once that 1 thing becomes easy, add the next thing. So on and so forth.

Remember, you can’t fail at this! You can only learn.

So if something doesn’t work, either tweak it, make it easier, or ditch it.

You can always come back to it later.

You might be surprised to know that things you dismiss as too hard in the beginning of the journey, are completely doable once you’ve gotten some wins under your belt.
