Ok, stop me if this sounds familiar:
You would best describe your eating style as….chaotic.
Sometimes you forget to eat or skip meals because you don’t have anything on hand. Other times, you over-do it.
You might have occasionally fought for your life through a workout that was fueled by a handful of Skittles.
You’re constantly resolving to "start over" with your nutrition plan, coming up with something that seems to work, only to have it fall apart a week later.
Meals are usually a surprise (and not the fun kind) and you dread being asked, “what’s for dinner?”
You’re tired and the last thing you want to do at the end of day is to think about food or throw something together with whatever you have in the fridge.
You regularly tell yourself that you need to get a grip and make some sort of plan, but you have enough going on without adding in one more task.
Buttttt also...you're kind of feeling done with winging it and the stress that leads to.
You’re tired of having days, months, and years pass with you being nowhere closer to reaching your nutrition goals. It’s starting to feel a little hopeless (is this just who you are now???) because what you wish you were doing feels so far from being a reality.
You’re not alone. This is a very common story among our CAKE clients.
Many of them - often fueled by desperation - have tried to reach their goals through things like diets, strict meal prep, or trying to force themselves to have more willpower.
But the thing is, you know as well as we do that what you’re currently doing isn’t working.
Here’s why: the most important element in being successful in any goal - nutrition included - is CONSISTENCY.
You can't just wish that things with food were better.
You can set allllll the nutrition goals.
You can (despite the multitude of reasons to say no to diet culture) follow all the diets.
You can want so badly to be eating differently.
You can try to obsess about what you’re eating, portions, or meal timing.
But, none of these things matter anyway if you aren’t able to be consistent.
You can’t be consistent if you don’t have a realistic plan.
Without a plan, life just happens. You’ll always be left winging it, going on and off the wagon, and feeling stuck.
This is why the #1 tool we teach our nutrition clients is meal-planning and prep (stay with us, it’s not what you think.)
We’re not going to lie to you: meal-planning and prep can feel annoying. They do take some time, brain power and planning to get the groceries at the right moment.
It can feel easier to just keep putting it off and telling yourself that you'll get to it next week...or in your next life.
But, here’s the thing, it is possible to make a plan that is
flexible and changes with your varied and busy schedule
realistic and reflects your current life
has built in fail-safes for when inevitable chaos, busyness, and stress happens
doesn't feel like too much before you've even gotten started
You don’t need dealing with food to feel like a part time job.
You need a strategic, stress-free, realistic framework to put you (not your cravings, stress, or busy life) back in control of your nutrition.
This is the key to building consistency so that you can reach the goals you set and build a balanced relationship with food that fits your life and goals, whatever those may be.
We teach this seriously needed skill, and SO MUCH MORE, in our CAKE nutrition coaching program.
In CAKE, you will learn the same simple, customizable meal-planning and prepping framework we give to our nutrition clients.
You will learn:
how to create a supportive environment at home and on the go, which is absolutely key to your success
guidance on how to build a balanced plate (including individual focus on nutrients such as protein, veggies, and fiber)
how to choose dense and filling meals to put an end to cravings, mindless eating, and over-doing it
how to “listen to your body” and tune into your body’s built-in hunger and fullness signals
the facts about yo-yo, fad, and crash diets while unpacking and dismantling shame around food and bodies
how outside factors, such as sleep and stress, impact your nutrition and how to make changes that will work with you rather than against you
how to stop going on-and-off the wagon with nutrition changes so you can stop the anxiety, guilt, and angst around food
how to put all foods back on the table (literally) and what moderation and balance actually mean
We know you’re done with flying by the seat of your pants and hoping for change.
Let’s give you the tools you need to move forward with the accountability and support you need every step of the way.
