6 Components of Success & Common Pitfalls - The Nutrition Series S7Ep2

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Reaching our goals through nutrition comes with common pitfalls.  Help us arm you with tips to overcome these common obstacles.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">First and foremost, as with training, we apply a minimum effective dose framework, whether you want to primarily gain muscle or lose body fat.  This means, we don’t cut calories to 1200 or double your calories.  We first observe so we can understand your habits, metabolism, and intake.  We then can recommend small, realistic changes to begin progressing you toward your goals.  This cannot and should not be rushed.  We don’t want to play all of our cards and end up with stalled progress and little or nothing more we can do.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">The biggest issues come from lack of preparation and meeting hunger or a surprise challenge, such as someone offering a treat or confronting what you do with the food left on your kids’ plate.  Developing plans for these things that align with your goals and nutrition plan helps you through these obstacles and help prevent backslide and regret, ultimately helping you achieve your goals faster.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Tips to combat these are having emergency meals or snacks if you get hungry--at home or on the go.  Portion out foods ahead of time.  With complicated foods--such as lasagna or a stew--weigh & measure it once so you have the information.  The initial work will enable you to better understand your calorie intake.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Get your FIRST MONTH FREE on all strength and nutrition coaching plans.  No discount code needed and includes a 10-day, no obligation trial. </span> <a href="https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh"><span style= "font-weight: 300;">https://bit.ly/2MKeOoh</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Special offers from BLOC and our partners: </span> <a href= "http
