The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

You Screwed Up, Now What? The day started great, you’re making good decisions, you know what you’re supposed to do, and then all of the sudden, in a moment of stress, of angst, of anger, of sadness, or of celebration, you eat or drink something that wasn’t part of the plan. Oh no, “I blew it” you tell yourself… Followed by, “well, I already had something off plan, so I might as well have something else” until it’s snowballed into a soup du jour of higher than desired calories that leave you feeling frustrated, guilty, embarrassed, and either on the brink of, or fully committed to saying “screw it all”, I’ll start again tomorrow, or Monday or “this diet sucks” and “It’s just not working for me” and absolving yourself completely from all responsibility.  We’ve all been there. Instead of throwing in the proverbial diet towel, here are a few easy to implement mindset shifts that can help you get back right on track, as soon as your very next meal.

If you’re serious about living a long, healthy, and perhaps lean life, then there’s a few fundamental nutrition principles that will serve you well as you age. For many, what once worked well in our youth to support lean muscle mass and improved body composition no longer serves us as our lifestyle, hormones, food preferences, and stress levels change.  Aging healthfully means proactively fighting against the common triggers that can cause excessive fat gain, reduced muscle mass, poor hormonal and digestive health, as well as reduced cognitive function by focusing on quality nutrition and the RIGHT ratios of macronutrients. In this conversation, I’ll lay out the best foods, and amounts necessary to help support healthy body composition as we age in addition to some actionable tools to help you immediately apply the nutritional guidelines discussed.

Undergoing nutrition change is difficult, no doubt about it. Not only can it feel challenging to consistently make better food choices, but navigating the dynamics of family and social support can absolutely make or break your success. If you’re working to make change in your life including changing your nutrition and eating behaviors, then you need to plan for success, which includes having a clear cut plan of attack for WHEN friends and family consciously or unconsciously try to sabotage your success. In this episode I’ll lay out how to plan for success so that you can learn how to navigate these often challenging and stressful situations. Enjoy!   Resources: 1.

Learning to make better nutrition decisions, consistently, is much like learning how to play an instrument. At first, you’re going to suck, but with time, dedication, and practice, you’ll improve to the point where you’ll actually be somewhat competent and maybe even get pretty good. But without any formal training, thinking that you’re going to be a concert pianist is delusional, much like the ways in which we approach our weight loss goals. You can’t undo a lifetime of bad habits in a 7 day day juice cleanse or a 30-day challenge. Instead, you need to develop the skills and fundamental tools necessary to make long-term change, including how and Why you’d want to learn how to track your calories and your macronutrients...and that’s what we’re discussing on this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.   Resources: Connect with Ben: Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smartnutritionmadesimple Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

We all deal with stress and difficult times, and there’s no such thing as a “perfect week” or a perfect day or even perfect foods… and oftentimes we find that our daily responsibilities can mount to so much pressure that we’re often left saying “screw it” to the health priorities that we KNOW we need in place if we ever want to get to and/or maintain our health goals… > The consistent sleep > Balanced meals > Daily movement Instead of saying screw it, and I’ll just start again Monday, it’s important to reframe how we think about and react under these circumstances, because, well… they’re inevitable.

Achieving a healthy body composition by losing fat and gaining muscle involves periods of eating at a calorie deficit coupled with periods of maintenance and perhaps surplus.  Most people that want to lose fat attempt to create a caloric deficit year-round only to end up failing time and time again...mostly because they over restrict. Nonetheless, if you’re going to change your body composition, it’s imperative you have the nutritional tools and skills to effectively create and maintain a calorie deficit, strategically, and successfully, so that you can lose the weight and keep it off in a healthy way.

The time of day that you train is something that most people have never taken into consideration… rather, it’s simply been a function of when you have time, which absolutely makes the most sense.  However, recent research points to an optimal time to train that can: > boost performance > slightly increase strength gains > significantly increase the rate of muscle growth But despite what the research says, does that mean it’s going to be the best time for you? That’s what we’re going to discuss in this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.   Resources: Dynamic Warm-up: https://youtu.be/br8jXp8M77Y Pre-Workout Nutrition Guide: https://www.bslfuel.com/9-meals-for-energy   Connect with Ben: Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smartnutritionmadesimple Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.
