Your Healthista's Approach to Health
- What's the backbone of my plan?
- With Your Healthista Consulting, you'll learn to truly embody the following 10 Commandments of Food and Fitness.
The 10 Commandments of Food and Fitness
- I know food is best when it's closest to its natural state (i.e., food that's minimally processed with a short ingredient list -- if it has one at all).
- I accept that many cravings aren't just in my head. They can represent nutrients I'm lacking or stem from eating patterns I know how to break.
- I will not eat processed, convenience, or diet food unless it's my only option (and it shouldn't ever be).
- I realize that fat and calories aren't the enemy.
- I understand health claims on food labels are marketing tactics, not medical facts.
- I'm willing to make my health a priority, even if it means spending a bit more time in the kitchen or a bit more money on food. I believe it's worth spending a bit more to get higher quality food.
- I understand that how I look and feel is about 75% what I eat and 25% how I move.
- I believe strength training is a crucial component of health and fitness.
- I realize that I don't have to spend hours in the gym to get a good workout as long as I incorporate movement into my daily life as much as possible.
- I won't use exercise as a way to make up for "bad" eating.
