In the grand scheme of things, 8-weeks isn't a lot of time to change your habits and make progress. But it warms my heart to hear (and see!) a client, make some small changes, like eating more carbs!!! and benefit in some big ways. Check out what Liz Gillean had to say about her experience in our 8-week Kickstart nutrition program: "It's funny that before I always assumed activity level dictated composition the most. I knew nutrition was important but it really opened my eyes how key it is to hone in on macros. I felt more freedom counting macros than I ever did counting calories. Over time I have gained awareness of sensitivities to certain foods that don't do me any favours in terms of body comp and either mitigate or avoid. I've noticed a few big changes during this process. The biggest one is that I eat way MORE now than before. I definitely eat more carbs than I ever did it was actually overwhelming at first how to fit them all in. The extra carbs and protein have played a huge part in increasing my energy levels and I don't get the mental "tiredness" like I used to. I've taken to weighing things too which I never used to and it has been super helpful figuring out portions - more often than not I am learning I can eat more than I think I can." More food, better performance and getting leaner. Best of all works. Most clients think to get leaner they will automatically need to "eat less" - but in reality when they gain the structure and habits to make good food decisions within their goals they surprise themselves. Nice work, Liz! Interesting in learning more about what nutrition coaching can do for you? Fill out our intake form HERE for a free assessment.
