Hi,
Anyone who works towards being a fitness model or as a personal trainer with clients
knows that one thing that makes a difference for results is
tracking what you eat.
If you don't currently have a food journal CLICK HERE and print this one out for a 3-ring binder.
Even if you are training yourself and don't hire a trainer or coach
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT TIME YOU ATE IT.
TRACK IT!
6:30AM - 6 eggwhites, 1 serving Oatmeal, Black Coffee
9:30AM - 6oz Chicken Breast, 6oz sweet potato, 1 cup broccoli
Over the years I haven't met any fitness model who didn't enjoy working out - not one.
Imagine meeting a fitness model that says, "I hate working out". Never happens...
What they all hate is weekly food prep and it is the most important thing.
People hate it and personal training clients don't even know what it means.
Personal training clients think they have to cook for their families and try to make them eat clean and that never lasts.
Clean Eating and Eating Healthy is one thing but counting the calories or weighing food is the next level that serious people do for results.
So, if you are someone involved in fitness modeling you might wonder if you too should be keeping a workout or food journal and the
answer is a great BIG YES!
Food Journals keep you “honest” and on track and almost any fitness expert seriously advocates them.
I set up weekly check-ins with clients and do a weigh-in and bodyfat measurements on the same day every week. During that time I would ask to read the client's food journal.
Guess what would happen??? Here we go...
Many wouldn't bring the food journal if they had cheated...
Others who were not following it would same (SAME), (SAME), page by page...
Those two types of clients were not seeing the results.
The food journal should have a few flaws - - -
In real life it isn't going to be perfect. Small mistakes are okay and normal.
Meal One - Set for 6:30AM one day it's late at 7:30AM start
which then the other meal times get pushed up which is fine.
Some clients who showed up empty handed with no food journal
and weighed the same I wouldn't even do the measurements for bodyfat.
I couldn't help
them make changes for the following week.
You must keep a Food Journal if you want results.
Again, if you don't currently have a food journal CLICK HERE and print this one out.
Talk Soon,
Brian
