[LEVELLING UP YOUR NUTRITION: STEP BY STEP]

This idea, while not necessarily ground-breaking, was perfectly described in an article I was reading for the Precision Nutrition Program. It tells about how when people want to lose weight, you should try to get them to the next "level" for a meal. For example: you eat fries and a burger for every meal. Next time, try to have a whole grain sandwhich and take a half portion of fries. You get the concept: small steps.

Too many people I've guided have tried to make the leap from bad eating to perfect, only to fall back really quickly. Eating healthy is hard. Setting habits is also hard. Setting healthy eating habits is a combination of those 2, so you can't really expect it to be easy either!

So when you want to get that summer sixpack ready, think about levelling up step by step: your chances of making lasting results (instead of having to restart next year) will be much higher. Quit thinking instant results: think long term.
