Summary

If You Want To Stop Dieting Unsuccessfully, You Should: Stop restricting yourself and start viewing nutrition and exercise as a skill Change your mindset and incorporate your favorite foods into your weight loss plan Explore new exercises such as lifting weights to improve your metabolism Create a personalized approach that works for you and your body Health resolutions and diets often bring in a new year, but that is not the best way to improve how you feel. Changing your health outcome starts with what is on your fork, and all it takes is simple and actionable changes. Nutrition and Fitness as a Skill Rachel Freiman is the CEO of MindStrong Fitness and is passionate about teaching others the skills necessary to ditch diets forever and embrace nutrition and fitness. Rachel is an educator at heart and focuses on both the mental and physical sides to building healthy and sustainable habits. Why You Need to Break Up with Dieting The truth is, diets are not sustainable. The belief that we haven't lost weight because we haven't found the ‘right’ diet stems from companies trying to sell you things. Rachel believes that the key to long-term health is education and developing the skills to focus less on restriction and more on what makes you feel good. Changing your mindset and healing your relationship with food will help you realize that the problem isn't you; it is the methods you have been using. Getting out of the ‘all in or all out’ mindset and instead focusing on the pleasure principle will give you the momentum you need to stop playing into the one size fits all diet industry. Figuring Out Your Personal Macroplan If you want to change your health, you need a personalized approach that is going to work for you and your body. Even if you have the strongest willpower in the world, telling yourself ‘no’ to foods you enjoy will not last. Labeling foods as good or bad, or working out in ways that don't actually provide the results you are searching for, is doing nothing for your physical or mental health. By approaching nutrition and exercise as a skill, you can develop habits that will serve you much better in the long run. Are you ready to throw out your health resolutions for 2021?
