It’s ok to change your diet right now!

Hey guys,

A lot of people are talking about slipping into old habits, or having troubles maintaining their current diet when stuck in isolation.

I just wanted to come on here to say it’s ok to change your diet while you’re staying at home! Not only is this a difficult time, mentally challenging, and new, but it’s also given everyone different schedules and a frustrating access to the kitchen. If you’ve fluffed up so far, give yourself some credit - we’re all adapting!

  • Something helpful might be to add frequent snacks into your day if you haven’t already, or completely change up your diet if you need to. Make your meals smaller and give yourself an extra 2 snacks in the day, or add 1 or 2 hundred calories to your goal, or even eat at maintenance! Maybe lay off counting vegetables or iced coffees. Staying on track doesn’t necessarily mean pushing yourself to the limit or being perfect, sometimes it’s just trying to maintain or keeping your motivated mindset. Consistency over perfection!

Don’t let being at home ruin everything you’ve worked so hard for thus far. A big part of losing the weight is self discipline, and adapting. In order to stay consistent, we’re going to have to adapt a lot to different situations (holidays, restaurants, etc) over the course of our weight loss. Treat this as one of those times.

Remember - you are the same person that stays on track at work, or that pushed yourself really hard that one week at the gym, or said no to that brownie. You’ve got this, stay busy, alter your diet, and keep moving!
