The Dieting Dilemma

No matter what your health and fitness goal, diet plays a major part in whether you will achieve your goals. This is true for muscle gain, fat loss or strength improvement. Over the years I have worked with 1000′s of clients and I have noticed that people are always looking for something to add to their diets.

This something that people are looking for often comes in the form of a new superfood, a wonder supplement, vitamin or herb. While this is all well and good, I feel it neglects doing something that is far more beneficial. What that something I feel people should be focusing on is what they can take away from their diet.

All the supplements in the world won’t help you if your diet is full of crap foods. If your cortisol is high, maybe you should stop drinking 5 coffees a day rather rather that taking adaptogenic herbs. Maybe if you have insulin issues, maybe you should stop eating ice cream after dinner each night rather than taking fenugreek and chromium. Maybe you should eliminate refined sugar and processed foods from your diet rather than taking a thermogenic fat burner.

Just say no!!!

 

 

 

 

 

If we focus on eliminating the bad from our diets we will find our health and body composition will improve far faster than if we simply add supplements and other foods.
