BREAKING THROUGH PLATEAUS WITH NUTRITION GOALS
If you’ve ever felt stuck — like you’re eating “pretty well” and training hard but not seeing results — you’re not alone. Nutrition plateaus happen to everyone, whether you’re chasing fat loss, muscle gain, or performance. The key isn’t to give up, it’s to step back, assess, and make smart adjustments. Here’s how to break through a nutrition plateau.
WHAT IS CREATINE? IS IT HELPFUL OR NOT?
When it comes to fueling your body for exercise there are many things to consider in terms of proper nutrition. Macronutrients like protein, carbs, and fats are the biggest part followed by micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Something you may hear about from many people who regularly exercise is supplementing certain substances like nitric oxide, leucine, L-carnitine, etc. While some of these have anecdotal evidence or have been used in observational studies, they are not as extensively studied, and many supplements are not FDA-regulated.
DO’S & DON’TS OF NUTRITION
Many of us have goals, especially during this time of year, that relate to improving our nutrition, weight loss, fat loss, or even weight/muscle gain. Nutrition goals are admirable because they mean you want to positively alter your health and lifespan. At the same time, these goals can lead to self-sabotage. From yo-yo dieting to restricting foods or skipping meals to over-exercising in the gym, my goal as a nutrition coach is to help people develop positive and sustainable nutrition habits.
DO THESE NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENTS HOLD ANY MERIT?
In our quest for a healthier lifestyle, we often come across a multitude of nutritional ingredients that promise to transform our well-being. From matcha and turmeric to activated charcoal and probiotic foods, these trendy ingredients have garnered attention for their potential benefits. But before we jump on the bandwagon, it's crucial to examine their merits and understand if they truly live up to the hype.
DOES THE TIMING OF MY MEALS MATTER?
The frequency and timing of nutritional intake is a topic that is debated and questioned, and we’re here to clear a bit of that up for you.
