Gone, by written advice and nutritional analysis around a desk. I am convinced that for lasting change, we must equip people live from their homes. While I was traveling home and having an idea of the contents of your pantry, I can help you so realistic !
Let me convince you ...
Scenario # 1: Mr X wants to have advice to eat better and lose a few pounds. However, he reports to the office of a nutritionist, who in exchange for a 60 minute discussion about his diet, gave him some recommendations in writing. "Include vegetables at meals ... Save a snack in the morning ..." OK, this is the simplistic, but for the purposes of this example let's do it together.
Arrived at home, Mr. X realizes he does not really know how to prepare vegetables. Moreover, it does not really like it and do not fit in the fridge. And if he thinks his wife has the time to cook up vegetables for dinner, forget that idea. Between the metro, the job and the dodo, no time to make lunches. Hmmm ... What will he choose for snack? The nutritionist has proposed combining two foods, one with the other carbohydrates with proteins. He will go to the grocery store ... (Horreur!)
After several weeks of effort, motivation was flagging. He falls into his old habits and thought that change is too complicated ...
No Judgement!
Know that all nutritionists are doing their best to empower people. But sometimes (as in the case of Mr. X) they are not really ready to change. Difficult to implement our advice. Even if we try to go slowly and empower clients, their eating habits are often ingrained ...
is why I decided to confront individuals. I'm moving home, I open their pantry. I can see inside their fridge. The status of their furnaces. The range of extras lying around on the counter. The mess in the kitchen cabinets. I do not judge: it is the reality of the people I meet and I accept it. We have all the "brew in cheek" ... Nothing is perfect! I accompany you. Your objective is to eat more vegetables? To prepare your fish to do differently to love your children? Prepare a balanced menu for the week? To finding new foods at the grocery store? Decode the restaurant's menu? I adapt to you based on your reality. Granola bars are your favorite snack? Lack of time prevents you from cooking? Far be it from me to advise you to cook yourself your granola bars to make them nutritious. I go with you to the grocery store to help you choose. Or there is another alternative that will take a second to put you in the tooth. Basically, any request for on improving your diet , I bow before you and I meet your expectations.
One day at a time ...
I can already hear all the nutritionists say: "You do not empower people. You give them all into his lap." Tut tut tut! Remember ladies and gentlemen I give you the kick-off. I equips, but far be it from me to stay with you for the rest of your days to prepare your meals, your meals and grocery shopping! I just want to simplify your life, a moment so you can understand how each small change is easy when you do it with pleasure. Yes, it takes a little determination! But I'm here to convince you and keep you from letting go.
So who would welcome my visit? Empathy, listening and giggling guaranteed! :)
