4 Ways to Evaluate Your Nutrition 12/30/2024

4 Ways to Evaluate Your Nutrition When it comes to reaching our health and fitness goals - workouts are only a part of the equation. If you truly want optimal and sustainable results - you have to take a look at what you are doing in the kitchen….(or ordering from the delivery driver). There is nothing quite as confusing, frustrating, or overwhelming as trying to figure out which “diet” is right for you. For your goals. Your genetics. Your body type. Food preferences. Schedule…the list goes on. The fitness industry or “diet culture” has done quite a bang up job of making us feel that if only we could find our magic meal plan - we would FINALLY have the results we’ve been searching for. Our nutritional “holy grail”. Before we dive into the Street Parking recommendations for nutrition - we thought it might be helpful to arm you with a series of 4 questions you can ask yourself about ANY diet or nutritional approach - to evaluate if it’s right for you at EVERY level (read that as…not just if it will “work” in the short term). Finding an approach that is sustainable for YOUR WHOLE LIFE is key to your success long term and your ability to maintain the results from improving your eating habits. And keep in mind that what is sustainable for YOU is not the same as what is sustainable for someone else. Your current life stage, schedule, food preferences and availability will all play a role in what you find you are able to sustain. And this will change throughout your life! However - don’t assume that eating healthy needs to be complicated, expensive, or time consuming. In fact, the opposite is true and with an approach of making small - SIMPLE changes over time - something you thought might not be sustainable can become daily habit. Next Up: The Street Parking Nutrition Guidance…..from the most simple tips to finding balance, to a no scale measuring technique, and finding and practicing precision. /episode/index/show/streetparking/id/21926798
