Stay-Focused-on-Health
2021-4-8_ Why are you so focused on losing weight? Rarely do I interact with a client that laments over their health status and wants to reverse insulin resistance. The concern is always short sighted, it's always..."Paige, how do I lose weight?" Quite frankly, that's the wrong question and that person will most likely fail at any attempt at weight loss and keeping the weight off for life. The reason why is simple, it's chronic consumption of nutrient poor food. Food restriction, calorie restriction, portion control etc. call it what you like-they are all guaranteed to fail you in the long term because your food quality sucks. The same thing is true of excessive fitness regimes as a means to lose weight; you won't ever get there because again-your food quality sucks. Calorie counting is an EPIC FAIL, both for your food habits and gym habits.
The health and wellness space is crowded with too much information, and in my opinion most of it is just incorrect. It's all about optics people and quite frankly the REAL message of health does not sell. People don't want to hear that regular consumption of grains, refined flours, seed oils, processed sugars and fake sugars compromise health, cause insulin resistance and clog up your body's ability to utilize fat as fuel. In order to reverse the harmful effects of fake food and for you that could be an autoimmune disorder, R.A., diabetes type 2, weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, migraine headaches the list goes on and on-you have to, you must, change the quality of your plate. Commit to only focusing on improving your health status through the power of nutrient dense food versus succumbing to the tireless and endless quest of weight loss methods via calorie restriction, portion control and excess fitness patterns. When you do what I say and trust the science versus what's trendy, well that's when the magic begins!
What is nutrient dense food you ask? The most nutrient dense foods are real food sources my friends like high quality protein sources from regenerative farms like my friends at White Oak Pastures located in Bluffton, GA, high quality saturated fats like coconut oil, avocados, eggs and grass fed butter or ghee and of course the least toxic plant foods that don't cause havoc in your system. Examples of a healthy plate:
Breakfast
3 soft boiled eggs cooked in ghee
1/2 avocado
1/2 mixed berries
Lunch or Dinner
Grass fed ribeye seasoned with mineral salt and topped with truffle butter
Medium baked sweet potato with grass fed butter
Side salad with lettuce, fresh grated parmesan, salt and fresh squeezed lemon
Get back to health, get away from the calorie counting in every respect. Focus on the nutrient quality of your plate, of every plate so that you are full in between meals. Also, focus on the productivity of your workouts versus however many calories you burned according to your FitBit and get into the sweet spot of what a Bodyrite Life is all about!
