    • 6. Is Your Goal Body Recomposition? How to Lose Body Fat & Gain Muscle

      When asking clients to describe their health, fitness, and nutrition goals, "getting toned" is a response that many Registered Dietitians are used to hearing. What people really mean when they say they'd like to 'get toned' is that they'd like to see more visible muscle definition or, in other words, experience body recomposition!

      Body recomposition is the act of altering one's physique through the loss of body fat and the simultaneous development of muscle mass. Body recomposition requires a different approach to nutrition and fitness than the typical 'weight loss' mindset. Our team of Registered Dietitians at Vitality Nutrition are here to help demystify body recomposition, and lay out our top five tips to consider if body recomposition is your goal.

      Our tips include:

      1. Strength training and progressive overload
      2. Eat enough protein
      3. Get your calorie balance right!
      4. Get enough sleep
      5. Be patient and consistent

          Regardless of how frequently you experience unpleasant digestive symptoms, there are nutrition and lifestyle changes we as Registered Dietitians know can positively impact your gut health (and daily comfort!). In this episode, we review the most impactful and evidence-based strategies to support gut health!

          • 4. Why You Aren't Motivated + How To Increase Your Motivation

            The word 'motivation' has been given many definitions over the years, but a common understanding is that motivation is a force that energizes, activates, and directs behaviour. When it comes to healthy living, making progress towards a goal can be easier when motivation is high. At the same time, it's only normal to experience periods of reduced or low motivation.

            In this Podcast, the Registered Dietitians at Vitality Nutrition explore how they help clients overcome periods of low motivation and support them in taking action towards their unique health and fitness goals!

            Our top tips include:

            1. Be compassionate with yourself - having a period of low motivation is normal!
            2. Take action on your big rocks!
            3. Avoid identifying as an 'unmotivated person'
            4. Do something you love
            5. Adopt the 5 second rule!
            6. Go for a walk outside
            7. Spend time with 'high vibe' people
            8. Curate your environment
            9. Get curious on why motivation could be low! Could better sleep, balanced meals, or movement increase your energy and motivation?

              • 3. How To Properly Track Weight Loss With A Scale + Is It A Safe Tool For You?

                Is weighing yourself regularly a meaningful, valid, or even safe practice? Is it helpful or harmful? In this episode we explore when we as Dietitians do and don't recommend the use of a body weight scale, how to properly take advantage of this tool (should you use it), and the reason behind short-term fluctuations in bodyweight.

                We hope this episode will leave you better equipped to decide if the scale is a valuable tool for you as you move toward your health and fitness goals this season, whilst encouraging you to also consider additional and more meaningful indicators of wellbeing than weight alone!
