True Confessions of Health and Nutrition Professionals

Many people think that their trainer or nutrition coach has perfect exercise and nutrition habits.  I'm here to tell you that while that's flattering, it's definitely not true.  We struggle with the same things that you do, day in and day out.  I'm active in a number of nutrition and exercise related Facebook groups and one of them recently had a thread on what our clients might be surprised to learn about us.  Here are some of the things we confessed, grossly generalized:

We LOVE beer, wine, ice cream, pizza, burgers, bread, nut butters, cupcakes, fresh bread, cookies, chips, and donuts.

We DEAL WITH hormone cravings, sleep deprivation, and work/life balance.

We HATE meal prep and working out when we don't feel like it.

Some of us BATTLE emotional eating and eating disorders.

Our GUILTY PLEASURES include eating pints of ice cream and eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups while binge watching Netflix when we are supposed to be working or working out.

The difference between the professionals and the clients?  Most of us are comfortable with an eighty-twenty lifestyle.  We have worked hard to learn to be consistent in our habits so that we can enjoy the things we love in moderation.  We can help you get there, too!
