Why I don’t use weight loss as a measure of succ

Why I don’t use weight loss as a measure of success in my practice. (And what I use instead) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(disclaimer- this post is regarding intentional weight loss, and may be triggering for some. It is not about my approach for clients who need to gain weight for medical reasons)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would say about half of our coaching applications mention changing weight, mostly around intentional weight loss. But there is usually no mention of what that weight loss actually means to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What will your life be like if you lose x amount of weight? What will change or what do you think will change?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most times when we dive into the why, it turns out their goal is about improving health, preventing disease, having more energy to play with their kids, or improving mood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of these have their own success markers that a change in weight won’t actually measure. Everyone will have a different measure of success and...I see that a change in weight doesn’t mean a change towards meeting their actual goal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My clients start crushing goals the first week- and the goal has nothing to do with weight, but focuses on daily or weekly habits (aka actions) to make small changes that are sustainable and meaningful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Restrictive dieting to change your body weight doesn’t lead to a positive relationship with food, and a smaller body doesn’t mean you are healthier or worth more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I won’t put you on a restrictive diet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I will give you tools to make it less stressful to nourish your body and mind on the journey to your goals and how you want to feel! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Easy (and delicious) baked peanut tofu (swipe for recipe!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love tofu and could eat it plain for days but for those of you who don’t love it but want to, or want a good ‘gateway’ recipe into eating plant based proteins, this one is awesome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can control the spice so you can meet your own tolerance level and be ok for the littles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇 For my low FODMAP and food sensitivity folks:
2/3 cup firm tofu is low FODMAP
Substitute garlic with garlic oil
Keep it less spicy with less sriracha or omitting it
Can sub soy sauce with coconut aminos or tamari
Can sub peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter etc.

Try it and let me know what you think!

👇 3 things you can focus on to take care of you

👇 3 things you can focus on to take care of your gut in 2021 and beyond. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know that our digestive health is related to our immunity, chronic disease, and mood, amongst others and how we eat can impact our gut’s ability to do its job in protecting us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are many things we can do to help feed our gut well, and here are 3 that you can create a goal around if you are looking to set a goal to improve your health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Eat more plants - Aim to have at least 1/2 your plate of fibre rich foods like beans, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts and seeds (if you have digestive issues pick non- trigger foods) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Eat the rainbow - Greens are great but try to enjoy multiple colours of plants throughout the day to reap the benefits from the variety of nutrients and phytochemicals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Stress less - Pick something that helps you reduce stress like meditation, gratitude journaling, drinking tea, skiing, yoga, or working out ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you planning a goal around gut health this year? I’d love to hear it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello 2021! 👋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀

Hello 2021! 👋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reflecting on the past year, there have certainly been a lot of surprises and unknowns, but we made it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did I hit my 2020 goals? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set more of an intention to nurture all aspects of my life and I think I did that to the best of my ability and capacity while sick as a dog for half of it being pregnant and in the throes of a pandemic for the other half. Probably a good year not to have big goals! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s my goal for 2021? Well I have a few...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heal my postpartum core, spend quality time with family and friends and continue to nurture our little business and amazing clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nutrition goal? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be intentional with my choices to keep up my milk supply, protect my joints, feed my gut bugs and satisfy my taste buds! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to a healthy and joyful 2021 hopefully filled with time spent with friends and family, whatever that may look like. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sayonara 2020!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
