Foodtrainers

A popular Netflix conservation documentary, Seaspiracy, has been getting a lot of buzz lately. It provides a certain perspective on issues affecting the oceans and marine life.

The documentary covers a lot of issues — some better than others. The sneaky thing about the film is that it seems to take individual pieces of truth and sprinkle them in with misrepresentation, or flat out lies, to make the delivery more dramatic. Any documentary that only shows one side of the coin is not doing a fair job of representing an industry. Pointing out the good and the bad is always going to be better received as honest, objective work.

We work around all dietary decisions at Foodtrainers. It’s anyone’s personal decision to eat fish or not. When making that decision, please do research beyond just one film.

Food habits are a result, not a cause. It can be difficult — even impossible — to fix disordered eating when what’s causing it lies unresolved below the surface. Much of that starts in our childhood. It’s only by sifting through our past and resolving our harmful patterns that we can progress. When we do, it not only positively affects our relationship with food, but our relationship with the world and people around us.

Would you spend 5 minutes a day to nearly double your chances of sticking with your weight loss goal?

One piece of advice that hasn’t changed since Foodtrainers first started is also one of the most important skills for improving nutrition: Tracking.

People who track better do better. The devil is in the details, and it can be hard to get a good sense of what you are doing without putting it all out there. And this isn’t just our opinion: Research shows that the number one predictor of weight loss was the number of days that participants tracked their food. So learn how to make tracking a habit that sticks and see the results work for you.

What’s one thing that can help improve mental performance, athletic performance, and memory? No, it’s not some new super-supplement or secret weapon — it’s good, ol’ coffee, the beloved drink of many. Michael Pollan said, in his audiobook about caffeine, that “if you have a cup of coffee after you’ve learned something or read a textbook chapter, you are more likely to test better on it the next day.” We are supportive of cutting a lot of things out (or down) of your diet, but we’re skeptical about cutting out coffee. We explore the benefits of drinking coffee, as well as some of the considerations for cutting back.

We love covering topics that we believe will be of interest or benefit to people, but at some point the best thing you can do is seek out personalized advice. Our nutrition sessions are a way for clients to dig deeper into topics that are of interest to them or that they may have heard about on the podcast or elsewhere.

If you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind closed doors, we’re going to lift the veil on a nutrition session, showing you what it’s like in one of our sessions from an inside perspective.
