Nutrition, food, diet, nutrients, sustenance, fuel, energy whatever you call it and whatever way you look at it the body needs it right. Yet one of the most impactive parts of your daily life that has never been more essential for getting it right is so difficult to get right.

But why is getting it right so difficult, time, money, effort, internet overload of information whatever it maybe the whole lifestyle approach must change for it to work.

That is why this is all about lifestyle and not diet. Implementing changes that are sustainable, easy to maintain and done in bitesize chunks that make it easier to stick to. This is the key, adherence, can you maintain this way of eating, could you live on the cabbage soup diet forever, even the strongest of minds would struggle with this, and so why should you.

A question I love is, ‘How do you climb Everest,’ the answer, one small step at a time

The same is with lifestyle changes around the foods that you eat. Do not make the changes so overwhelming that it creates even more stress. Remember small changes give you bigger results, smarter choices give you greater returns.

Small changes are needed, small changes help you stay on track, stay focused and reward you for new habits and achievements made. You and your brain need that reward, that motivation to keep going as why else would you be doing this. Who does not like being rewarded for their hard efforts?

The 1% change you make in many areas is progress, progress that moves you forward while still enjoying life, because food is a very social part of our lives. It brings family and friends together, we celebrate, we socialise and enjoy life.

Have the belief in your potential to make lifestyle changes, feed off the positive energy it brings and achieve what you deserve. Support the link between nutrition and wellbeing and feel that positive energy it brings.
