[ Focus of the week: Meal Prep ] . Another ((huge)) part of consistency and consistent success is meal prep. 🍴 What, when, and how much of the foods we eat DIRECTLY affect losing body fat, gaining lean muscle, recovery, and energy! . I realize just how daunting it might seem to go from 3 (sometimes only 2!) meals/day to prepping #aheadoftime 5-6 meals!! It's a common hurdle I've worked through with so many of my clients...so here's my approach! I'll be posting it in weekly sections, just as I would ramp up a client 😊👌 Are you ready?! [ Week 1 ] . [ STEP ONE ] • Self-assessment. How many meals/day are you eating on a regular basis? What 3 areas do you feel need the most improvement? (eg too much soda, sweets, take-away food too often, consistent during the week but weekends not so much, etc) . [ STEP TWO ] • Choose 1 area of focus for Week One! This week you might choose to focus on less pre-prepared meals. Awesome! . [ STEP THREE ] • This part is maybe the most CRUCIAL. Your #mindset is ready: you're willing to sacrifice and suffer. Ready to give up ALL sweets or take away meals for however long it will take to reach your goals. ... I totally admire your drive, but let's keep taking this one step at a time 👌 Ex: Buying meals 5/7 days? How about making that 2/7 days? . Drinking 3 sodas/day? How about one a day? . The goal here is to choose a focus that YOU are willingly making, and then to make a change small enough to guarantee success, yet big enough to make a difference. A difference that will be long lasting. #TrueChange . For those of you that have already begun meal prepping, this could be applied to... - consistent meals on the Weekends - meal prepping more variety - consistent supplements (just as important as the timing of your food!) . Tell me your goals and focus areas in the comments! Follow for the weekly update, and let's see how many of us can ramp up to meal prepping consistently!
