In fact carbohydrates are our preferred energy source, and our brain largely runs off carbohydrate energy. In our 40s and 50s we need carb energy, but the right kind…
Carbs get a bad rap because simply put, we tend to eat far too many of the wrong kind.
There’s so much misinformation out there – diet programmes and books make you believe you need to do this or do that…
If the diet programmes and books are SO successful, how come they keep churning out year after year?
Which is why you probably yo-yo from diet to diet, and your weight goes up and down but never settles for a long time where you’re happy.
It’s about fuelling yourself intelligently, crucial in midlife as you account for what’s going on hormonally as well.
Truth:
You don’t need to cut ANY of your favourite foods our – you just need to moderate.
You can still enjoy foods you like and not feel guilty – because you know your body better and have mastered your mind.
Last night on our call our clients were talking about their weekends, big meals, chips, beer, wine…
None of them felt bad. None of them felt guilty – in fact coming from a lifetime of dieting and guilt, they were thrilled they could enjoy their night’s out and NOT feel bad.
That they knew what to do the next day to feel great. That their weight and progress was not compromised.
Here’s the thing. You don’t need a diet. You just need some basic nutritional knowledge and some behaviour change coaching to make it easy to lose the fat and then keep it off while still enjoying life.
