We all know what "healthy" looks like. If I were to put two meals on the table, one of them is a number 4 off the Mcdonalds menu and the other is a salad with chicken, you would know which one is "healthier". If it has greens, it's gotta be healthy right? Eating healthy or making healthy decisions for our body is not hard, the actual action of following through is what's hard. This is why in today's episode, I will be sharing three simple things you can do today to help with weight loss. Which in root is eating a little healthier.

Have you ever seen a fancy "7g of protein' label on the front of a specific product (mainly a high processed one). Do you see it and think that that product then is a valuable source of protein? I use to always think this, and every label had me fooled. After learning more about nutrition and talking to nutrition experts I began to learn about "Macro Dominent Foods". This is when a specific macro has more grams than any other one in that specific product. Like I mention within the episode, a lot of foods have great nutritional value, but when it comes down to losing weight, dropping body fat, you need to pay attention to macros and calories. If there is a label saying "7g of protien" then that product wants your attention because they know for sure, it's not a protein dominent product.

Aren't you tired of working so hard towards your weight loss goals, performance goals, or simply overall health goals, and not seeing the results you want? It's exhausting putting in work and not seeing results as fast you want to. This is the biggest reason why people quit with ony 1 month in there journey. Majority of people are so focused on "when am I going to lose weight? When am I going to see my abs", and they totally space the entire process of getting to their goals. This is the problem with not being grateful of what you're abale to achieve. Hitting smal goals a day are just as important and incredible, as hitting that one ultimate goal you have.

Shredding body fat is not hard to understand. What's hard to achieve in weight loss is having the mind power to push through days where all you want to do is eat a bunch of junk food. Just like anything else, goals that you want to achieve will demand hard work physically and mentally. Training takes up about 1 hour of your day when nutrition takes up multiple hours of your day. This is when you have to have a conversation with yourself about how bad do you want your goals. Other than that, losing a 1lb of fat can be achieved.

I started my year of 2022 with a 103 fever, body aches, and a head ache that was out of this world. Yes my year did not start out nearly what I thought, but I'm glad it did. Our bodies are amazing creations and very clever on telling you when to embrace the moment. I've been pushing so hard to achieve the things I want to achieve that there were some areas about my health I was neglecting, and not just that but I was also slacking in some areas of mental clarity/happiness. My year started off rough, but It's always up to us to make moves!
