METABOLIC PRIMING

MONTHLY FOCUS:

“When you start taking consistent action, you will see results.”

-Marie Forleo 

This past month your biggest goal was to start building consistency in executing your individualized plans at a level that feels sustainable. This is no easy feat. If you have found your groove, great! If you are still working on establishing the habits and actions that support consistency in your plan, that is OK! Habits take time. 

This is exactly why we don’t jump to changing your plan week-to-week. We need… DATA.  Adjustments will always be made based on the data collected. If we adjusted your macros after just a week on your new plan you wouldn’t have near enough data to make an educated decision of where to go next. Even if you were 100% consistent that would not be enough information.

For most progress indicators, you’ll need a minimum of 2 but up to 4-6 weeks. This is especially true for my ladies of reproductive age! If you have a month-long menstrual cycle (if you don’t we should talk!) your body weight, energy, and many other things can fluctuate significantly through the month. That is why it is great to see averages over the course of a week and then review how how your data is trending over an entire month instead of focusing on short-term blips.

To create consistency, many pieces of the nutrition and wellness puzzle need to come together. This can feel overwhelming, but we are going to continue to simplify this with actionable items and focus on one area at a time.  

This month we will fine tune food choices and daily action items to make reaching your macronutrient targets easier. We will dive into the three most common obstacles people face when starting to track macronutrients and simple strategies to overcome them.

• Not eating enough protein 

• Eating too much fat 

• Building a better relationship with carbohydrates 

Do these sound familiar? Never fear, by months end you will be hitting your macros like a pro. We will also dive into the world of nutrient timing and how that can maximize your results, especially if you workout.

You are not alone in this process. I am with you every step of the way! Moving forward in the program you will have the opportunity for bi-weekly check-ins with your coach. This will be prompted by an email, where you will fill out a series of questions and have an opportunity to provide feedback and ask any questions you may have. You will received individualized video feedback from your coach. Use this as often as you need additional guidance. 

If questions pop up in between your virtual check-in you can use the “Ask Amy” feature on the Member Hub Homepage at any time. Be sure to mark your calendar for our monthly group sessions and open office hours!
