Slow Down to Get in Shape Faster, Says Precision Nutrition Expert
Toronto, Ontario and New York, NY (PRWEB) October 26, 2011
Precision Nutrition, a leading nutrition research and education company whose coaching programs have transformed the lives of thousands of people by conducting the largest body transformation study in history, has some surprising advice in downloadable articles published today.
Slow down to build hot, healthy, happy bodies.
Precision Nutrition recommends simple, manageable adjustments based on sound science and common sense about what people can really do. John M. Berardi, the Co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Precision Nutrition, says hes seen people in the companys coaching programs change their eating habits and gain new self-confidence.
Are they somehow better than normal? Special? Extra-motivated? Blessed with great genes?
No. Theyre average Janes and Joes. Theyve simply learned and practiced what really works.
Are we geniuses? asks Precision Nutrition’s Dr. Berardi ? Well, we like to think so. But in reality, our coaches use simple, time-tested methods to inspire, motivate, monitor, and guide our clients to stunning body (and life) transformations.
One of the keys is to slow down and pay attention.
Check your watch. Start eating. When youre done, check your watch again. How long did it take you? Our guess: not long enough.
Your goal is at least 15 to 20 minutes per meal. You need that long in order to taste your food properly, and to let your body tell your brain that youre full.
Put your utensils down between bites. Chew properly. Savour what youre eating. Enjoy it. Spend time with it. Youll enjoy food more, and get leaner to boot.
If youre struggling to change bad habits, start by becoming aware of what youre doing, thinking, and feeling (both physically and emotionally). We call this noticing and naming.
You cant change something if youre clueless. So tune in.
Paying attention also makes your performance better. For example:
If you eat slowly and mindfully, conscious of every bite, youll probably eat less but enjoy your food more. If you train carefully, with a plan, youll probably do your exercises correctly, with a clear focus, and stay uninjured. If you notice what triggers you into unwanted behaviours, you can break the chain and choose a different path.
Take action. But do ONE small thing at a time.
Sure, we all love change everything moments like winning the lottery. But that aint reality.
Forget thinking about change. Forget reading about change. Do change. Act. Now.
The only way to succeed at anything is to take action now ONE small step at a time.
