No. This is not click-bait. You don’t have to go from highly processed food to an organic, calorie-controlled, clean-eating guru overnight. It’s okay to transition gradually to healthier versions of foods and drinks. For example, in the image below you’ll see a gradual transition from 2 bottles of coca-cola per day to Diet Coke to soda water and hopefully water as the main fluid source eventually. I could have used any food example. You’ll see perfect 4-week meal plans and well-meaning nutrition advice from coaches all over the internet. It’s cool but most people just can’t make the transition from an egg McMuffin to poached eggs and spinach overnight. I reckon it’s better to try transforming your choices gradually. Think of it as a Food Continuum. You can experiment with slightly healthier versions of foods as you get fitter and healthier. The idea is to make your choice a little bit better every week or month. Let’s say you have a creamy sugary coffee and raisin toast for breakfast and you want to eat healthier. - The first step could be to have a whole grain bagel instead of the raisin toast and a coffee with one sugar and less cream. - You could then move to black coffee or coffee with no cream and sugar and add some fruit to breakfast. - You could even have an egg with whole-grain toast. Now you are adding protein and good carbs. - You may eventually end up with green tea, Greek yoghurt and fruit, and a slice of toast. It took time but the process was more bearable. You can do this with any meal. Ask yourself, how can I make this meal one step better? The goal of your meal plan is to eventually stop using a meal plan. What meal do you think needs the meal transformation game? Here Are Four Ways I Can Help You Get Fit And Lose Weight And Actually Keep it Off.
