Why a Healthy Lifestyle Should Start TODAY, Not After You’ve Had Some Diagnosis or Health Crisis

Your health is your wealth. So keep investing in it.  I believe it's important to plug in a proper diet and make a healthy living as your companion before you land in any hospital bed (which is much more costly than a gym membership). 

Remember, physical fitness isn’t the sole reason to stay healthy. Being healthy means that you're emotionally and mentally sound. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not difficult or requires too much work(but it does require work). Whichever the case, make healthy lifestyle decisions before the emergence of a health crisis. And just know, we are your prevention squad at MVP Transformation Fitness ready to support your goals and get you the healthiest ever! 

The importance of the right lifestyle includes the following:

✔Serves as preventative for type II diabetes as well as obesity in children and adults.

✔Makes you stronger and happier.

✔Enables you to balance the demands of daily life as well as take care of personal wellbeing.

✔A resourceful technique used to reduce the possibility of developing health problems.

✔The right lifestyle goes a long way beyond mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

✔A  healthy lifestyle is effective when it comes to stress management. 

Important aspects when it comes to a healthy lifestyle include adequate exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and mental stimulation. This is why we have everything you will need to address any of the above potential issues such as diabetes, mental health, and physical strength.

Do Carbs Make me Fat?

 

By MVP Transformation Fitness 

No more of this and no more of that...that's likely what you think when you start a new weight loss diet-right? Well, you're not alone. Many us of who start or change our diets believe that we have to skimp on the carbs (sugars, starches, and fiber) in order to effectively lose weight. 

Ok, in-part, you should give up certain types of carbs, but you don’t have to eliminate all carbs from your diet entirely in order to lose weight, no matter what your friend doing the Keto diet tells you. 

We need carbohydrates to function at our best in the long-term. Here’s the catch, though: refined carbs like white bread and pasta have literally been stripped of all their nutritious elements. So not only do these types of carbs spike your blood sugar, but they are linked to inflammation in the body, and they really aren’t adding any value to your diet either. So, choose your carbs wisely! Instead of refined carbs, opt for high-quality carbohydrates like quinoa, oats, sweet potatoes, bananas, or legumes and skip the processed grains and sugars.  MVP Transformation Fitness has a nutritional and lifestyle coaching service that will help you with all of the facets of dieting and lifestyle behaviors to help you succeed. Get a complimentary session to learn more.  Remember: any food can cause weight gain if you eat too much. So, keep all things in moderation. 

The Things No One Tells You about Losing Weight

Less than 2 Months of Training and Diet Change

Losing weight can be one of the most exciting and yet challenging things you can accomplish. At first, you are super pumped, ready to commit to new eating habits, and excited about the possibility of a new and better you as a result. However, changing your diet has unforeseen challenges. Of course, none of these challenges are impossible to address or overcome, but it’s likely that you’re not going to be aware or even think of these challenges prior to starting your new weight loss path. I have identified a few that I personally experienced during my own weight loss journey I’d like to share to get you prepared.

1. You’re going to hear a lot of conflicting and unwanted opinions. During your quest to a better and healthier you, there may people in your circle that will offer you advice or have an opinion about how you should diet or what to eat in order to achieve your goals. Remember, their input or advice likely says more about them than you. So, learn to take nutritional and dieting advice from sources you can trust like your Nutritional Coach or Personal Trainer.

2. Eating fewer calories is going to be hard at first. Changing the number of calories or a different type of caloric intake will be hard at first, but as your body adapts to these changes, it will become a lot easier. Your body has been used to eating certain types of foods at much higher caloric levels. Once you begin to monitor your food intake and develop new nutritional habits, it will normalize. Your Coach can help you target your calories in order to align with your fitness goals.

3. You may find yourself thinking about food constantly. Changing your diet may be like a “mind shock” at first. Now you find yourself thinking about what you can or cannot eat seemingly all the time. This is where the benefit of working with a Nutritional and Lifestyle Coach comes into play. With a custom food and meal strategy, you absolutely can’t go wrong. We have all been there, trying to determine what to eat on your own while trying a new fitness journey. This can simply lead to frustration (especially if you have tried this before without success) and ultimately, giving up. MVP Transformation Fitness really understands how this diet roller coaster thing works, which is why we offer nutritional and lifestyle coaching included in many of our memberships and personal training plans- no frustration here. Just a custom way to ensure your success.4. The Big ONE-don’t expect to lose weight fast. When you initially start your weight-loss plan, it may take a while before you actually see a massive drop in weight. But you can’t give up because you don’t see changes right away. Your body is trying to adapt, especially if you are engaging in a new fitness routine or plan. You must allow your body to move through this new process and soon you will see your body transform and stay that way. Changing your diet and eating habit can have a long-lasting impact as long as you remain consistent, be patient, and keep your eye on the prize-not the scale. You’ve got this! #theweightisover
