Find Your Forma

The number one question we receive ALL the time being a nutrition coach - Can I still drink?

We get it yall! You want to find the balance between healthy and happy hour…marathonas and margaritas…wellness and wine nights…you get the picture. This conversation is for the babe who is ready for answers and wants to understand how alcohol affects your body and what this means FOR YOU and YOUR GOALS. So we are sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about alcohol. Oh don't worry because once you reach your goal…there is a way to be snatched and social! So fill up your glass and take a sip, because were getting real.

THE GOOD - 

1. Its FUN!  Favorite Happy hour stories
2. We’ve all heard red wine is good for your heart because it has antioxidants … but is that true?

THE BAD- 

1. Alcohol has no nutritional value to the body  
2. It stops fat burn 
3. NEGATIVE RIPPLE EFFECTS such as  hangovers/brain fog - poor eating choices (pizza, jimmy johns, sweets) - bad sleep

THE UGLY TRUTH-

1. YOUR SPECIFIC goal will dictate how much // how little you “can” drink within your week. Unfortunately, the more you drink, the slower you will reach your goals because alcohol creates this nasty ripple effect on the body … prevents fat burn, increases brain fog, lack of energy from poor sleep, and chances of eating shitty foods. Anyone who tells you differently is lying. 
2. You cannot have a dirty martini every night and then wonder why your jeans are feeling tight…put down the martini and grab a sparkling water AT LEAST for majority of your week!! 
3. General rule of thumb WE LIVE BY, Cut drinking down to 1-2 nights (if that) per week when working towards a goal (depends on person) 

HOW TO STAY SNATCHED AND SOCIAL - 

1. Protein is queen 
2. Low calories drinks 
3. Water between every drink 
4. Sweat the next day

Dairy is probably one of the most misunderstood food groups. Diary can be health-promoting, but there are a lot of questionable claims out there, which is why Lindsey & Natalie bring light to the SCIENCE behind it all. 

In this episode, they review:

• The advantages and disadvantages of dairy
• The different types of dairy and what that means for a consumer
• What dairy “light” means

Research discussed: New England Journal of Medicine

As they state throughout the episode, dairy comes in multiple forms. Their mission is to make sure you are armed with the right information & you’re not lumping it all together so that you can make a more educated choice in what you are consuming as a whole when it comes to dairy. It’s not a question of if dairy is good or bad…it’s more about what kind and if it’s right for YOU.

From being vegan and paleo to following the Whole 30, Low Carb, or Atkins diet, there are a million different ways that are promoted as the number one diet to follow.  We totally understand how overwhelming this can be and the real issue is that so many people are constantly forcing themselves into a specific dietary approach that really doesn’t suit their lifestyle.  We discuss why there is not a one diet fits all approach and what you need to do to find success in your diet. 

In this episode, we cover:

• What is a successful diet? 
• How certain food affects your body 
• The relationship between food and energy
• Why you have to like the diet 
• Having convenient and consistent diets 
• The importance of whole foods 
• Energy expenditure and protein
