"Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains." - Steve Jobs⠀
⠀
Learning to simplify is tough no matter what the topic is. Nutritionally speaking, it's more attractive at times to jump on bandwagons and fads rather than execute basics well.⠀

{ F A S T F O O D } We are painfully aware of how easy it is in our society to eat something less than optimal, rather than choosing something that's good for us. So here's your homework assignment: pick FIVE of your favorite fruits, and look up the nutritional content for each (healthaliciousness.com is a favorite resource for us). Pay attention to more than just macronutrients - those don't tell the complete story. Look also for micronutrient content. Then commit to adding more fruits to your day - they are nature's fast food! They make great smart carb choices - and you NEED carbs of the nutrient dense variety!

Happy 1st day of summer 🤗

It's crazy how much time we spend in one day on our phones scrolling. Don't get me wrong, we love social media too!⠀
⠀
We have heard many times that there is not enough time in a day to food prep. Imagine what you could accomplish just by putting social media and your phone away a few hours a day.....try it!!

{ M E A L P R E P } overnight oats ~ we made this with oikos vanilla greek yogurt, old fashioned rolled oats, and almond milk (equal parts of all 3). let it set in the fridge overnight, then top with blueberries or whatever you prefer ~ we used trader joe's ancient grains blend for a healthy dietary fat.

This one applies to meal prep, as well as anything else in life that requires knowledge and application of fundamentals, so.....pretty much everything.

So what do we mean? quite simply, focus on the big picture before you get lost in minutiae. Don't fret about slam dunks when you first need to master a layup.
in application to meal prep - COVER YOUR BASICS. Before worrying about what preworkout to drink, challenge yourself to drink enough water! Not getting your veggie servings? Make them a priority in your plan, and commit to learning prep techniques that make them tasty enough to actually eat. Eat a healthy meal an hour or two before a workout, and an hour or two after. Move more. Basics. Cover them.
Want help with this? That's exactly what we do - give people a hand in getting healthier and fitter while still living in the real world. No perfection needed....just the desire to make real and effective changes.
