The Simple Way to Creating Your Own Meal Plan

Nutrition and meal plans.Do those two words create stress and frustration for you?I know for most people it does......it does for me at times, too!All the knowledge in the world doesn’t help if it can’t be applied to YOU, in your life, without losing your mind, and being able to sustain it; to be excited about the change and believing that you can do it long-term.At Vigor Ground Renton Gym we focus on meeting you where you are at when it comes to nutrition because our goal is to get you to your goal while being able to live a lifestyle without being stressed out all the time.When you think about food and it creates stress all the time = not a good place!It doesn’t put you into a position of certainty and power.It creates decisions from a place of stress, frustration, scarcity, anxiety….and that never creates good outcomes.

There is no happy ending to an unhappy journey.

That quote above is something that has changed the way I, and our clients do everything.When you do it the RIGHT way it becomes the new norm so you get to become that person that lives that lifestyle rather than eating a meal plan that stresses you out like crazy and you’re just waiting to get off it.If you do it WRONG and get overwhelmed then this creates a program in your mind that makes you believe getting lean and looking the way you want to look, feeling the way you want to feel - is stressful and it’s a struggle and you can’t do anything you want to do…...which is NOT true!This only happens when you try to get ahead and do too much too fast and its more habits than you can handle at one time.The key is going at your own pace and moving forward being confident about the steps you are taking and making them stick.Our goals it to educate you on what works, both from a science standpoint (in simple terms) and in real world results.No gimmicks and B.S.Crazy promises.Cleanses and detoxes that promise things that are unrealistic long-term (or even short term!)Do you have to change to get results?YES.Of course there will be changes that have to be made.Action has to be taken and work will need to be done.There is no escaping that.But why make it harder than it has to be?**NOTE: If nutrition seems like the “Matrix Code” you should find something more simple.

To help you out with creating your own plan Coach Cody has shot a video that will cover:

* How to set up step 1 of a simple nutrition plan that doesn’t require anything complicated with gadgets and tons of technology* Easy steps to measure your protein, carbs and fats and not have to run around for measuring tools while you’re at home (or even less realistically – at work….you don’t want to be the person measuring food at work do you?)* Step-by-step checklist for the baseline nutrition; which if you follow you will see your body and energy start changing* Choose from the foods you like rather than having a drill-seargant “telling” you exactly what you need to eat (don’t you get stressed when you feel you can only eat one or two foods?! I do!)* If you have done the basics, find out how to progress forward with adding in some more advanced steps to continue to see your body change and transform AND be able to maintain it - this comes after the most simple steps that will help you transform in themselves

If you create a change, just ONE change, that you weren’t doing before and stick to it, you’re improving your lifestyle nutrition.Take one thing away that is not serving you.Add something that will help you get results.If you’re committed and serious in finally changing where you; the way you look, feel and perform, then talking to one of our coaches in a strategy session may be the next step.Imagine being able to eat the foods you love with minor changes and getting the results you want. Not having to go on drastic diets that feel like you’re changing everything too fast and don’t even believe you can stick to. Have the success that you see others have without dreading the next meal because you’re just waiting to be done with the “diet.”Our coaches will have a conversation with you and find out where you are, where you want to be and the path and plan to take you there based on YOU and your lifestyle (not being forced into a cookie cutter once size fits all program).Fill out the application to set up your Discovery Session (if you are interested in Online Coaching click the Online form and if you live in the area and would like to come in and talk with us then fill out the Strategy Session form):
