Coaches Corner Episode Episode 13 - "Fad Diet" with Morgan and Chelsea
Description
In this episode, Morgan and Chelsea talk about fad diets. A fad diet is something that is usually promoted and popular in social media, and is typically a way to have quick weight loss over a certain amount of time. For example, “Try this diet for 30 days and you will lose 15 pounds” They are quick fixes that are probably not sustainable in the long run.
The most popular fad diets right now are keto and the carnivore diet. Chelsea dives into why these are hard to sustain in the long run and how it’s extremely important to get the calories you need to fuel your body.
If you are ever wondering what your meals should consist of, try the plate method. A quarter of your plate should be some sort of protein source. The other quarter should be carbohydrates, or starchy vegetables, and then the remaining half would be vegetables. It is an easier way to create a meal rather than navigating Canada’s food guide.
If you are struggling with nutrition, work with someone who can support you and help you through that. At the same time, do your research, don’t settle for the first nutritionist that you find - find someone who is empathic and knowledgable that can help you along this journey to pursuing your excellence in nutrition.
