You understand the basics and understand the importance of preparation:  how does this look in real life?  How does a potential meal, day, or week look?  Gillian & Niki delve into how to approach nutrition plans practically.   Looking at the week and the day helps.  When you look at a week, think about when you go grocery shopping, which meals will be eaten outside the house, how much food you need and how many meals you need to prepare.  What staples do you always keep in the house, regardless of meals?  What meals or snacks do you have on hand if you cannot cook, get unexpectedly hungry, or life just gets in the way of your plans?   If you look at a day, look at the meals and snacks you’ll eat.  Are there certain meals you know you’ll have to prepare ahead of time versus certain meals you can cook right before you eat?  Do certain times of day tend to cause you to deviate from your planned meals or snacks?  What causes this to happen?   Once again, planning ahead increase your compliance and aids you in accomplishing your goals, faster.  This means planning for the grocery store, meals, days, and weeks.  It also means incorporating habits that you enjoy into the plan, such as a drink at the end of the day or dessert.   Learn the practices, including specific recipe ideas, that help make healthy eating more fun.   GET STARTED with one-on-one online coaching FOR FREE!
