When it comes to eating well, eating enough protein and fibers to lose weight or stay healthy, the key is consistency.  Eating nutritious foods daily.  For people in their 40s, with a busy life, juggling carreer, family and health, this takes intentional effort.  The proper tools - like those I am giving away in the Consistent Healthy Eating Workshop on September 17th - can help us make consistent healthy eating easier. But sometimes, what comes in the way of consistency is our mindsets:our beliefs or perception of ourselves.  Today I share 3 ways mindsets keep us stuck in cycles of starting over, good days and bad days with foods and even going from extreme dieting to very unhealthy choices for our bodies. And in this episode, you will also get the reframes for these mindsets. Not because you have to follow a strict diet.Not because you should eat clean 100% of the time. Not because you have to stick to a complicated mealplan.But because you deserve to give yourself the gift or nutritious, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and lead to losing fat while holding on or building muscle.  Because your body will not start changing until you become consistent at giving it what it needs to feel safe, let go of belly fat and build up strength.  With consistency in healthy meals, a high-protein, high-fiber diet, you can finally trim down and get toned. Today we look at the beliefs and ways to look at yourself that can be why you can't seem to be consistent with healthy habits and healthy eating.   In my FREE live workshop on Thursday, September 17th, I will share tools to make consistent healthy eating effortless for busy moms in their 40s who want to lose belly fat:- a simple structure for your meals - one sustainable habit to become dangerously consistent - exactly what to eat to lose belly fat and build muscle- DOOR PRIZES: I have 2 gifts that will help you stay consistent   Save your spot here: https://jihanefarrell.kit.com/consistent I cannot wait to see you!
