17. Healthy is Relative — Why Doing Everything Right Still Isn't Working


Listen Later

Yu can eat healthy and still not see progress. 

You might be doing everything "right" — and still missing the point.

Because here's the truth — healthy eating has general standards we should all strive for, like getting enough protein, fiber, and micronutrients.

But we forget - Healthy is not an objective term. It's subjective to the person, their goals, their background. 

In this episode of The Basics of Balance, I’m talking about how you can still be missing key nutrients, eating more than your body needs, or making it nearly impossible to lose weight — even while eating "clean."

In this episode we cover:

  • Why healthy eating is not the same as a weight loss plan
  • The general standards we should strive for — protein intake, fiber, micronutrients — and why they matter
  • Why logging might be beneficial for some but not for all
  • Why generic nutrition advice can still leave you nutrient deficient
  • How you can be eating too much healthy food and stalling your weight loss without realizing it
  • How you can lose weight eating junk food and gain weight eating clean
  • Why organic doesn't automatically mean healthier
  • Why some people need to push harder in their workouts while others need to give themselves permission to rest
  • How to stop following a one-size-fits-all approach and start understanding what YOUR body actually needs

This episode will finally give you some answers if you feel like you’re eating healthy but spinning your wheels.
