In this FitMitTuro Podcast episode I'm about to spill the beans on why those rigid meal plans you see all over social media are a total waste of time for most people.
Look, I get it - the promise of quick results is tempting. But the reality is, unless you're a fitness competitor who loves prepping every single meal, those meal plans are just setting you up for failure in the long run.
In this episode, I'm going to show you the real keys to sustainable weight loss and nutrition. Spoiler alert: it's not about the specific foods you eat, it's all about that calorie deficit. I'll break down the science behind it, and share the simple strategies I use with my clients to help them ditch the guilt and find an approach that actually fits their lifestyle.
We'll cover protein, fiber, hydration, and a little something I call the 80/20 rule - trust me, it's a game-changer when it comes to enjoying your favorite foods without derailing your progress.
So if you're ready to kiss those strict meal plans goodbye and learn how to build a nutrition plan that works for you, not against you, hit that play button and get ready to have your mind blown.

In this episode, I share my top 5 strategies for effective rest and recovery between workouts. As someone who used to believe that more is better when it comes to exercise, I've learned the hard way that proper rest and recovery are crucial for progress and avoiding overtraining.
The 5 key strategies I cover include:

Staying active on rest days through low-intensity activities like walking, rather than complete rest.

Doing bodyweight exercises focused on proper form and range of motion, to maintain muscle-building signals.

Prioritizing mobility work to improve flexibility and joint health.

Emphasizing the importance of quality sleep for recovery and overall wellbeing.

Dedicating time to plan and prepare nutritious meals, rather than relying on quick, less healthy options.

I share my personal experiences and insights to highlight how these strategies can make a significant difference in fitness progress and overall health.
