Keep it simple:

1. Eat only plants. 80% whole foods, 20% whatever you want (but still plants).
2. Intentional movement most days of the week. Prioritize strength training.
3. A mental health practice. Meditation, yoga, hobbies, whatever.
4. Deep social connections.

@kristi_janelle Two words: Air. Fryer. I do green beans and Brussels sprouts in there (both from frozen) and they're amazing!

"As such, when we talk about tangible changes, they may happen on a different timeline than most are used to, but the steps to get there are designed [as with habits] to be integrated into your lifestyle long term, as opposed to turning it upside down."

"We've been working with you for almost one month. There are programs that are designed to get fast, immediate results with extreme input, but 99% percent of the time, the moment you stray from those, the results will reverse themselves."

"At this stage, minor body changes is what we expect. You hit it on the nose: if you were seeing "major" body changes already, we would presumably be working with some extremes."

"One of the goals here is to establish realistic habits which can be applied for the long term. That is a gradual process, and one of the theories behind why those habits actually end up lasting for the long term: a more gentle + realistic approach."

Coach Zoe's response to one of our clients was so good, I had to share.

@IsaChandra Good for you! We've had proof of vaccination requirements for all restaurants here in BC for many months.

Do we need goals (or resolutions)?

When we don’t achieve a goal, we feel bad about ourselves, even if we’ve made great progress.

Why habits are better: Focus on habits instead of outcomes. This will make your daily practice enjoyable, while still getting you awesome results.
