BEFORE-TIP: Eat. Every. Single. Meal. Every. Single. Day.
If you hear your brain-gremlin whispering sweet nothings, like, “I'm going to skip breakfast because…." THEN FULL STOP IN THE MOMENT AND SQUASH IT.
Unless you are:
•experiencing digestion issues (nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, constipation)
•having an allergic reaction
•eating food that isn't palatable
•committing to an act respective of your culture or religion…
…there are ZERO good reasons for skipping a meal.
Again, take it from someone who has studied the effects of missing meals in labs and in life, firsthand… ZERO good reasons.
(A few of which were covered in the last email, with the worst offender/first domino of destruction being the binge/restriction cycle + all the consequences that linger + follow.)
You know that tik tok audio going viral,
“See that toxic person- walk the other way..” ??
That's what you need to be telling your inner gremlin when a
‘rationalize why I should skip this meal’ thought pops up.
INTERRUPT THAT BITCH.
then have an appetite-appropriate meal or snack, anyway.
IF you don't interrupt that pattern, then you're going to be riding the ‘ugh, I need a f*cking reset’ wave for the next 2 months, feeling all bad about yourself, then BAM- next thing you know-
•you're signed up for every over-training opportunity/holiday challenge week your exercise studio has to offer,
•you're sucking the face of a shaker bottle twice a day instead of prioritizing real, nutrient-dense foods because you're now scared of everything that isn't a ‘clean protein source’ or a raw vegetable
•and stumbling through a ball-busting, shame-filled-landing come January, wondering why you ‘can’t get it together' or ‘keep giving up' and most vulnerable to jumping into brashly decided commitments, like meal plans and workout programs, that crash and burn as quickly as they took off…
……
…
..
It's almost like I help people from falling into these cycles for a living. 👀
These patterns are predictable.
There are hundreds of thousands of email campaigns across the fitness industry banking on them.
So stop the gremlin before it becomes a monster.
Do not skip meals.
