Nutrition Made Simple

Have you failed a diet before? We have all been there!

This week, Ashley Osterman and I discuss the three main reasons why diets don't work.

We are surrounded by diet food, diet information, and the latest diet trends. It's impossible to go to the grocery store and not see something about a FAD diet. Research shows the average American will try FOUR FAD diets per year. I think we all know the story -- you try it, and it stops just as quick as it started. Studies show 65% of people will regain all the weight back and more.

It's not your fault. We have to flip the switch on diet culture and instead of "dieting," we must start changing the foundational habits that create our lifestyle.

Today, Nicole Aucoin and Ashley Osterman discuss the fifth pillar of the Healthy Steps Nutrition Framework: Exercise.

I recently conducted a poll, what is easier to get started -- a nutrition or fitness routine? Over 90% said that exercise was easier.

If you think about it, this week is historically the busiest week for gyms worldwide. People are motivated to finally see the results they are looking to join a gym.

Here's the problem, they don't have the coaching, and they don't have the accountability to stick with it. That's the reason why over 80% of people have ditched their resolutions and stopped going to gyms by the second week in February.

In this episode, Ashley and Nicole discuss: - The importance of exercise - The importance of finding something you like - How to build exercise into your routine
