I’ve been struggling with how to make eating well a long-term lifestyle. I feel great when I’m eating more vegetables, less carbs and exercising but it is hard to keep it going week after week so I reached out to Nirit Roddy, certified trainer and nutritionist from Fit With Nirit who gave me some great tips on how to see long-term results — but still enjoy the food I love.
Some of her top tips were:
- Change one thing every couple weeks. For example, start by focusing on 8-10 cups a water a day. Then the next week focus on increasing your exercise.
- Every person is different. Some need to do everything at once (but not perfectly) and some need to add a little each week so they can get psychological wins.
- Get a coach to learn what works for you and have accountability .. and they are a great cheerleader!
- Be honest about what you are eating.
- Frozen vegetables are an easy way to have vegetables on hand so you eat more of them.
- Make one big meal where leftovers can be used for future meals.
Perfection is the killer of progress. It’s not about doing an hour of exercise 7 days a week and eating perfectly every day because that is not a lifestyle. It’s about changing one thing every couple weeks.
