What happens next? The end of a diet ...

Published: Wed, 03/25/15

I received an email this morning from one of our online nutrition plan members asking what happens at the end of the week.  

The Real Food Plan is initially a 28 day plan that takes our members through eating 'cleanly' and following a more whole food approach to meal times.  

The question is a common one as most diets have a start and end point, the problem being at the end you generally return to the habits that led to requiring a diet in the first place.

The Real Food Plan doesn't really have an end point; eating real food as the main part of your nutrition plan has worked for us as a human race for hundreds of thousands of years.  It becomes the way you eat rather than following a plan per se.

Anything outside of the normal plan is just something that happens and isn't really a big issue unless it becomes the norm rather than the exception.

When our members start to plateau with their results we tweak things a little, in a way that works for them as an individual rather than the same way for everybody.

The Spring Clean programme that we start on Monday 30th March 2015 will have more of a mindset approach to nutrition plans.  We'll be focussing on getting rid of damaging thinking around food by replacing those habits with something new.

Slip ups happen, it's not the big deal the media and guru trainers make it out to be.  As I said last week, small steps forward are still small steps in the right direction.

As always we will be taking circumference measurements for our members on the Sunday before the camp starts.  This week it will be between 6pm and 8pm in Longford, Coventry.
