5 Diet Tips To Help You Stay Consistent
We all know that nutrition is everything, especially when it comes to aesthetics. Capitalize on all those hard hours you put in at the gym and start eating right! The key to getting in shape isn’t so much what you’re eating or how your training but simply how consistent you are with both!
Here are 5 diet tips to help you get motivated, organized, and most importantly stay consistent.
Tip #1: Write Down An Exact Meal Plan To Follow.
Make a grocery list of the items you will need in order to prep all the foods on the plan and be sure to put a copy of your meal plan on your fridge or somewhere you will see it everyday! Rid all the guesswork when it comes to what you’re eating, when you’re eating, and how much you’re eating and instead focus on getting in all your prepped meals, exercise, and proper rest for recovery!
Tip #2: Prepare Your Meals Ahead of Time.
Instead of trying to figure out what you are going to eat the day of, take the time to prep your meals 1-2x per week so you are fully prepared each week and can just grab the meal, warm it up, and consume without any worry of cooking or kitchen mess. This will keep you away from ordering out or fast food. Waking up every morning knowing that everything you need to eat to be healthy is already prepared in the fridge is the BEST feeling and is a guarantee to succeed with your fitness goals.
Tip #3: Base Your Meal Plan Around Foods You Enjoy.
There is no right or wrong food when it comes to what is necessary for you to eat when trying to get be healthy and get your body in shape. The most important factor is that you get a balance of nutrients your body needs like protein, carbs, fats, fiber, minerals, vitamins, etc. If you want to be consistent and be able to stick to your meal plan, then you have to be realistic about the foods you choose by including the foods you truly enjoy! If you don’t like eggs, dont eat them! Pick another lean protein sour e you prefer. Write down all the foods you enjoy, find the healthiest versions of them, and implement them into your meal plan so you are eating the foods you love!
Tip #4: Determine Your Daily Number of Meals and Frequency.
Choose a schedule that fits you lifestyle. If you are busy and have a hard time getting a meal or two down each day then shoot for a 3 meals a day plan instead of a 5-6 meals per day plan. Make it so you can achieve the plan with your daily life and work schedule. You want to eat smaller and more frequent meals if possible to keep your body satiated and your metabolism rev’d up throughout the day! It is important to take time to eat during your days. Don’t skip breakfast and then eat a big dinner, this is no good and will slow ‘n destroy your metabolism. Eat what you can, when you can… just don’t eat nothing!
Tip #5: Implement a Flexible Dieting Approach
If 80% of your foods are clean and nutrient dense throughout the week, you may include a little “cheat” or flex in your diet. Treat yourself to 1 cheat meal as long as it fits your macros #IIFYM. Try not to go overboard with this privilege. This is so you can still endulge in a small treat here and there to keep yourself on track and avoid binging. After consuming your cheat meal, be sure to go right back to your meal plan and regular exercsie regimen!
