One of Biggest Lies in the Fitness Industry
As hard as I try, I eventually get sucked into the social media scroll, and the more I do the more contradicting information I see. You should do this, you should do that, don't miss that, avoid this... it goes on and on, but what do I find to be one of the biggest lies in the fitness industry?!
If I could only pick just one (I think I smell a series coming through lol) I would start with this:
One size fits all diet and workout plans
We are not the same!
Nutrition and Fitness plans should take into account:
(In no particular order, at least most, ideally all, of these should be factored in)
1. Gender
2. Age
3. Weight (current and goal weight)
4. Goals
5. Activity levels
6. Lifestyle
7. Body type
8. Health imbalances
9. Injuries
10. Health concerns
But I’m also going to add a little controversy with this one:
Your diet plan should not be missing any major macros (protein, fats, carbs) for an extended period of time!!!!
This is why I loveeee to harp on the holistic approach- as in seeing the whole picture- for personal wellness family, friends and clients when it comes to their health!
Perhaps you remember, or feel free to scroll a little deeper back into my blogs to when I tried keto for a month... I'll sum it up for you if you don't want the drama (or the why!) one size doesn't fit all, what worked for someone shouldn't be taught as "bible" for everyone!
However that being said there are some generals suggestions that are a great starting place for most everyone, of course exceptions to the rule, but I just created a Wellness Blueprint from all of the advice I kept telling my integrative health clients, that we worked together to implement and adapt for them and their personal needs, goals and lifestyles!
