N.W.A. Tip Of The Week

One of my group coaching clients sent me an email last week, thanking me.

In the past year, he’s gone from 270 pounds to 227 pounds, a 43 pound loss.

Shawn started with No Cardio Fat Shredding a year ago, and he continued using what he had been taught, reading this newsletter, crushing his workouts, following along with the nutrition, and he’s a million times healthier because of it.

Shawn told me his “Top 3 Favorite Nutrition Coach J-isms”.

He said he always opens this newsletter every Friday, reads/watches all my content online, and there are exactly 3 items that have shifted his relationship with food forever.

Here they are…

Tip #1: You’re not a child, don’t eat like one.

Fruit snacks.

Candy.

Granola bars.

Breakfast cereal.

Chips.

These are foods for children.

They’re processed garbage, and if you consume them, you’re almost guaranteed to overeat.

Adults eat real food.

Whole foods.

Minimally processed foods.

Just because your kids eat junk doesn’t mean YOU have to eat junk; plan your meals, skip the crap, and fill yourself up with tasty, wholesome, nutritious foods, always.

Tip #2: The 2nd serving is just like the 1st.

This tip is especially timely during the holidays…

You should ENJOY the holidays and special events.

The birthday parties.

Social occasions.

Vacations.

When you eat during those “off times” you shouldn’t deprive yourself.

You want to try something? Great. Go for it! You should!

BUT there’s no need to pile on huge, heaping piles of the “bad” foods, and then go back for seconds.

Have a small portion.

Savor it and eat it slowly.

Enjoy the delectable taste.

But then, stop.

The 2nd bite is just like the 1st.

And the 3rd bite is just like the 2nd.

And the 4th…

You get the idea.

Have fun, sure, but be reasonable and not a glutton.

Tip #3: There are only 3 foods you shouldn’t eat – foods you don’t like, foods you don’t agree with, and foods that aren’t worth the calories.

That’s it.

The entire list.

If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.

If it makes you feel like crap, don’t eat it.

If it’s high in calorie, but you don’t LOVE it, and the calories aren’t worth it, don’t eat it.

Simple as that.

All else is fine, just realize you only have a certain number of calories allotted each day.

It’s up to you how you choose to divy them up.

Choose wisely.

How about you?
