"I'm not losing any weight?"

"I'm not losing any weight?"
So I'm having a chat with one of our members this week, that had reached out asking for some help.
Regarding food.
Specifically she felt like she was eating 'healthy' but wasn't losing weight.
And it was 'doing her head in'
I asked her to show me her food diary for the last 7 days.
And I've gotta say from Monday through to Friday, she had it nailed.
A really nice balanced diet with protein in each meal, complex carbs on workout days,
healthy mid afternoon snacks, and drinking plenty of water - and all within her calorie allowance.
But I knew what was coming .
Whenever I see an initial food diary like this that isn't helping achieve weight loss, it can only mean one thing.
The W.E.E.K.E.N.D
Yep excess wine, takeaways, sweet treats, and snacking on Friday and Saturday........and a little bit into Sunday!!
I showed empathy because I have been there! - many a time.
And I am wayyyy too much of a weekend lover myself to suggest that you should not enjoy yourselves at weekends.
But it just needs to be planned slightly differently.
Choosing lower calorie alcoholic beverages - vodka with slimline tonic.
When choosing a takeaway go for something like a mixed grill and salad from the indian [my fav]
If you know you're having a lot of calories in the evening then have fewer than normal throughout the day.
And importantly if drinking make sure that when you get peckish you go for some healthy prepared oven roasted chick peas with chilli flakes instead of a big bag of crisps.
It can definitely be done.
Especially when the reason why you're committing to your health and fitness journey is important enough.
We cover this with our 3F system and today's message is within the FOOD principle.
Something to consider this weekend may be?
Have a fun one.
Jamie
