Blunder 2 – Attempting 100-percent perfection on your nutrition program all the time. Sure, this is a great thing to do if you have a strict timeframe for fat loss, but it’s a disaster waiting to happen for most people.
Haven’t we learned that we love food and we need to find a way to build in modest amounts of treats that we enjoy?
I trained a client several years ago who asked me to design a nutrition program for her. She was somewhat depressed as she told me she just knew she had to give up eating the four chocolate-chip cookies two to three times per week that she had with her kids.
She was overjoyed when I told her she didn’t have to give them up. However, I mentioned that I was going to reduce the number to two cookies and it would fit into the overall nutrition solution. Yes, she did lose body fat with this realistic approach, and she also enjoyed her treat.
We need to make progress, but a sane approach encourages consistency and avoids that dreaded denial feeling. Build a little wiggle room into your program.
