This episode is dedicated to YOUR questions! We covered two for this segment and they are BIG ones! Plateau busters and starting steps for consistency in nutrition and exercise changes. What to do when the dreaded plateau hits? 3 tips and 2 no-nos 1. Track everything. 2. Change something up. 3. Look at stress and sleep. 4. Avoid the "just do more" grinding away. 5. Avoid how the beat-up, defeatist negative self-talk. Nutrition and consistency at the gym - how to start? Nutrition is the answer to so many questions that pop up on our health and wellness journeys. Here's a little taste of how to start: Nutrition - think of adding in, not taking out. Instead of taking out your sweets, add in more protein, like a nice chocolate protein shake or a yummy protein bar. Add in that glass of water first thing in the morning or a salad before your meals. No need to FORCE yourself to let go of all your vices at one time. As for exercise and consistency - start small for at least the first few weeks. Then add in some bigger pushes!
