In today's episode we go over some easy to fix nutrition mistakes.  

1- Restrictive diets: Low carb, no carb, fasting, etc just something you simply can’t follow.

2- Skipping meals- Can often lead to people making poor decisions and over eating later on.

*Can be useful for special events though with the right discipline

3- Not reading food labels. Food labels share calories, ingredients, macros and so much more helping us make better decisions.

4- Eating too many processed foods

5- Not getting enough fruits and vegetables.

  • How many servings do you have per day? Ask yourself
  • Potatoes are the number 1 source of vegetables in the American diet.

6- Overeating: Many people overeat because they eat too quickly or don't pay attention to their body's signals of fullness.

7- Focusing on the micro over the macro

For example:

  • Meal timing over protein intake
  • Supplements over proper water

What's going on everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy

0:05.0

podcast. As always, I'm your coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach K-EG and I'm in

0:11.4

the house. And we're coming at you with the worst nutrition mistakes we see people making and

0:16.6

there's a good chance you're making quite a few of these and this episode may just completely

0:20.8

change your nutrition journey because you take out these mistakes. It's going to be a lot

0:24.7

easier to stay fit, healthy, and happy. So what's number one, Kyle? I'd say number one and the most

0:30.1

common one is just honestly restrictive diets. And you hear it from a lot of different conversations,

0:35.1

especially us being in the industry. Hey, I'm trying this thing that's just very, very challenging. Most people want to do the most extreme things because that's what they think is going to give them the most extreme benefits. But oftentimes, they can't stick to it more than a couple days or at least a weekend max. And this is something very often, whether it's for some people keto for some people fasting like

0:55.0

there's a lot of different things out there there's the military diet like there's hundreds of

0:58.9

different fat diets but i'd say just people who do this crazy restrictive of these things that

1:03.4

they can't stick to is such a common mistake so my fix here my tip here is follow something that

1:08.6

you can consistently do it should be challenging but it shouldn't be something that you you can do. It should be challenging, but it shouldn't

1:11.3

be something that you can't follow. If you can't follow this for more than a few months, it's probably

1:16.1

not the right diet for you. I'd say even a few years, but that's another story for another day. But

1:19.9

restrictive diets, most common mistake, avoid these and you will honestly get better success long term.

1:25.5

Incredibly well said. It's just that that mindset of doing something

1:28.8

temporarily for a long term solution like being in shape and losing weight is a long term problem it's not

1:34.3

something you can just do and be done with forever it's that like get in a degree or something like

1:38.9

once you have it you have it but unfortunately you can lose that weight come out of those habits

1:43.3

and then just revert right back and that can be almost worse than doing nothing. So it's really important you go at it from a healthy, sustainable way. And that's like why at the epicenter of our coaching is sustainability. Because we believe if it's something you can't do for the rest of your life, it's not realistic. Of course, we can have chapters where we dive in, we do a little bit harder, a little bit more strict, but ultimately those principles

2:05.2

should be fundamentally sound so that you can see long-term lasting success. And the best way we

2:11.6

believe to do that is being flexible with your dieting, using things like 80-20 rule, adjusting
