From the 3rd edition of the Precision Nutrition textbook. Cutting calories is a short term solution that only makes the problem harder to deal with over the long term of your life. We all know it’s true but we refuse to accept it and we just keep getting bigger and bigger. We see the before and after pictures people post and we think they’ve found the permanent solution we need and we run after those results. Each time we damage ourselves more and more and each time we think we are failures or we blame our body for betraying us. There is one answer. Learn to feel what your body wants. Slow down. Find what feels right. Stop the extremes. Stop chasing the one weird trick or the diet of the day. You will always end up worse off than you started. The answer isn’t outside of you. The answer is you. #mindfulmoments #mindfulleating #mindfulmovement #mindfuleating #mindfullness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #fitnesscoach #realtalk #nutrition #nutritionplan #nutritionmyths #nutritioncoach #nutritioncoaching #fitnesslife #everystrongbody (at New York, New York)

Spring? My 🍓 plant that died when the winter started seems to be making a comeback 🙂 #everystrongbody #gardening #spring (at New York, New York)

Ever lost #fat on a #diet and #exercise program only to put it right back on? Ever “transformed your body?” just to be sitting there two years later looking at pictures of how good you looked and wondering why you can’t just keep your sh!t together? It’s a universal experience but it’s not talked about other than to sell you another program. You want the answer? Here it is for free. #Mindfulness and #connectedness to your body. We think of our bodies as a foreign thing that’s there to overpower with our minds. It’s not. You, the you that you think is all in your mind, is deeply connected to every cell of your body. Learn that, not book learn but learn that with practice, and you will have a chance finally getting to your physical goals. You won’t be dieting anymore. You’ll be eating according to the way your body tells you. You won’t be working out to lose weight. You’ll be moving the way your body wants you to. And over time you might actually heal from your years of beating up your body and demanding it do for you and look a certain way for you. #bodypositive #mindismatter #nutritionplan #nutritioncoach #nutritionmyths #nutritioncoaching #fitnesscoach #fitnessquotes #fitnessjourney #body #everystrongbody #yourbodyisamazing (at New York, New York)

This might be a quote from Stewart McGill. Basically it’s an over complicated way of saying if your core is like a wet piece spaghetti when you move, your limbs have no base of support to do what they need to do and your athleticism and control will suffer. #mindfulness #fitnessjourney #fitnesscoach #fitnessquotes #fitness #nutritionplan #nutritioncoach #nutritionmyths #nutritioncoaching #everystrongbody #plank #scienceytalk (at Times Square, New York City)

Sometimes the answer Is NOT more diet and exercise. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. While modern medicine has tons of tools, all we ever seem to pick up is that hammer. Your body/mind is amazingly complex and wonderful. Every input can cause a cascade of millions of changes that your amazing body organizes masterfully to get a result. Sleeping, stressing, going out in the sun, laughing, feeling, thinking, sneezing, crying, watching, eating, hating, listening, loving, sexing, moving, understanding, etc all cause something to happen. They have lasting effects that are cumulative. What do we look at though? Eating, exercising. Not losing weight? Eat less, exercise more. Stressed out? Exercise more. Japanese live longer than us? It’s because they eat fish! Unhappy? Exercise. Etc etc. And hey, if you don’t workout and you spend all your time in your head, balancing yourself out with some exercise will help you manage the stress. Similarly, If you’re eating 3500 calories of junk food most days and you’re overweight, you could certainly benefit from picking up the quality of that diet. There are times when diet and exercise are the answer. Usually though, it’s just the nail to our hammer. #mindfulness #fitnessjourney #fitnesscoach #fitnessquotes #nutritionmyths #nutritioncoach #nutritioncoaching #everystrongbody #nothingelsematters #theinvisibleman #idontknowwhatthesepicturesare #ifiguredsomestuffout #itsallaboutyourmindandbodytogether (at New York, New York)

Your body is your interface with the world. The more capable it is, the more of the world becomes open to you. #mindfulness #fitnessjourney #fitnesscoach #fitnessquotes #nutritionist #enjoyyourbody #everystrongbody #youareyourbody #matterovermind #runwithit #itsyourlife (at The Roosevelt Hotel)

This is going to piss some people off for sure but here it goes... Historically, meat 🍖 has been a staple food for many (almost every) culture. Today though we are constantly told that meat has no nutritional value other than protein. Is that true? — Above is a chart I made comparing the vitamin and mineral content from 1 serving of grass fed 🥩 to 1 serving of broccoli. They are measured in percentage of recommended daily value. — As you can see, steak not only has nutritional value but in many places it actually wins out over 🥦! — I want everything to be completely honest and fair here so I’m going to talk about how I chose the information to put on the chart above. — The chart is a list of all of the nutrients in which one of the foods could claim provided 10% of the daily value. If neither reached that number I didn’t include it. — Second, to make the graph easier to read, if it was 0% on a food I made it 1%. — Third, there are two values that I did not include. Both favor broccoli heavily. Vitamin C and K. In fact they are both over 100% of daily value for broccoli while they are essentially non existent for steak. The reason they were not included was because they changed the shape of the graph too much. It became hard to see the significance of the other results. — This does not include phytonutrients or zoonutrients. I also didn’t include macros or calories. — I got the results from nutritiondata.self.com. The amounts were chosen as they are both roughly considered one serving. Steak result came from “beef, grass fed, strip steaks, lean only, raw”. Broccoli comes from “broccoli, raw”. — Finally, this is not a political message or an endorsement of any specific food or diet. It is simply data. — #nutrition #steak #broccoli #nutritioncoach #nutritionmyths #fitnesscoach #fitnessquotes #comparison #everystrongbody #mindfulness #movementcoach #idolovesteakthough (at New York, New York)
