Today I want to talk about baby steps.
No I haven't reproduced, I'm talking about the steps that you take in your nutrition plan.
When it comes to a nutrition plan, people always rush to start doing everything at once looking for the 'perfect diet'.
I recently spoke to a person who was doing all this trying to lose fat,
- Low carb, low fat diet
- Cardio
- Weight training
- Fasting
- Fat burners
- Refeed days (cheat days)
- Sport training
- Lots of supplements
- Very low calorie diet.
Now they had been using this plan for a few weeks and had gotten some good results. Those results however had stopped.
The problem that they had now was where to go from here? They were already doing just about everything that they could do to lose weight.
They had done to much and done it to soon!
When it comes to setting up any kind of nutrition plan you need to make small, calculated changes at the right time to move towards your goals. Each thing should be added in slowly and the whole plan adjusted depending what RESULTS you are seeing.
Most of your adjustments should be based on the results seen and your experience.
This is where most people struggle as they get confused by the wealth of information out there. Everything seems to contradict everything else.
Where do you start? Who do you trust?
Well as always the first person I recommend you speak to is a Doctor and the second is either your coach or another professional. They will be able to help guide you through your nutritional plan, looking out for your best interests.
This is vital for most people and is the reason that most high level professionals use a coach. They take away all the worrying and give it to someone else who specialises in that area, from technique, to recovery, to nutrition.
You will notice that all these professionals teach and coach in baby steps. No coach is teaching flying arm bars before regular arm bars or long pad work combinations before they have taught how to jab correctly.
Your nutrition shouldn't be any different.
Take time to plan your nutrition and make small, calculated adjustments so that you keep moving towards your goals.
Stay Healthy,
Mike
