Often times I hear people groaning about the idea of eating the same foods every day, resisting the concept of meal prepping, and shying away from planning their meals or even attempting to cook. But.. nobody ever reached their goals without embracing at least one of these essential practices. No one ever triumphed by simply “winging it” or “going with the flow”.
Now, I get it. Variety is the spice of life, and the thought of eating the same thing day in and day out can be as appealing as a soggy sandwich. But here’s the thing: when it comes to achieving your goals, consistency is key. It doesn’t matter what ‘program’ you follow, it always requires you to be consistent when it comes to hitting goals and planning. It can be macros (the most realistic, successful, and educational approach in my seasoned professional opinion), points, shake plans, food tracking, etc. Even these fad diets require consistency. Even weight loss prescriptions require consistency for benefits! And what better way to ensure consistency than by having a well-thought-out meal plan? What’s your consistency?
Picture this: you wake up in the morning, feeling energized and ready to take on the world. But wait, you don’t have to waste precious brainpower on deciding what to eat for breakfast because it’s already prepped and waiting for you. You grab your perfectly portioned meal and start your day off right, feeling like a superhero who just discovered their secret weapon.
Meal prepping not only saves you time and effort but also helps you stay on track with your nutritional goals. Plus, it’s like having a personal chef who knows exactly how to fuel your body for success. It’s a win-win situation, really.
Now, I know some of you might argue that you don’t have the time or the skills to cook your own meals. But fear not, because cooking is not rocket science. With a little bit of practice and a sprinkle of determination, you can become a culinary wizard in no time.
Think about it: by learning to cook your own meals, you gain the power to choose exactly what goes into your body. No more mystery ingredients or hidden additives. You can buy your tools to get you to your goals right at the grocery store! You become the master of your own taste buds, the captain of your own culinary ship.
Besides, cooking can be a fun and creative outlet. Experiment with flavors, explore new recipes, and impress your friends with your newfound skills. Who knows, you might even discover a hidden talent for whipping up gourmet dishes that would make Gordon Ramsay proud.
So, let’s break free from the chains of monotony and embrace the power of meal planning, meal prepping, and cooking. Let’s take control of our nutrition and fuel our bodies for success. Remember, nobody ever achieved greatness by simply “winging it.” It’s time to unleash the inner foodie within you and pave the way to your success.
