Accountability is one of the main reasons my clients choose to work with me. Becoming more mindful of our choices, behaviour, hunger, satiety and environment are a huge part of success in reaching our goals.
I recommend using behavioural tracking over macronutrient tracking. Learning about macronutrients can be useful but it's only one piece of the proverbial pie. Many of my clients are highly educated in the world of 'macros' thanks to apps like MyFitnessPal but come to me feeling exhausted. Exhausted from the constant, crazy-making thoughts around calories, protein, fats, carbohydrates and whether they have hit their targets or not.
“I started working with Michelle three weeks ago and I am quite sure that she is going to change my life. I was stuck in a total rut, with a hectic lifestyle and healthy eating was always the first thing to be compromised! She made a plan that fits into my life and we started using the Nourishly app together to track everything. I could not be feeling better in such a short period (more energy, better sleep and just a happier overall person overall!) I can not recommend Michelle enough” - Melanie
I encourage you to think about your food choices in a different way. Are you enjoying what you’re eating? What would you really like to eat? Have you written off any foods as ‘bad’? Are you being mindful at meal times? Are you genuinely hungry or feeding an emotion? How do you feel? This type of tracking allows you to monitor your response to the meal plan we’ve designed together and provides a template for making changes as you progress.
My aim for your plan is to create a blueprint for life. Your very own blueprint which makes you feel confident and free because you’re being expertly guided to find what works for you.
