How to Eat Cleaner - Day 30 of 31 - Get Help





How to Eat Cleaner - Day 30 of 31 - Get Help.

Hello everyone. I'm so excited that you decided to join me in our 31 days to cleaner or healthier eating. Each one of these videos will have 1 simple concept for you to chew on. It's your choice what you do with it. Try it for a day, a week, a month or implement for your entire life. My hope is it helps you open your mind to learning more about fueling your body more healthily.

Part of cleaning up what we eat is getting educated and alot of these videos focus on awareness.

Today we talk about getting help.

Each of us is an expert in something, but there is a world of things we are not experts in. So getting help encompasses alot of different ideas.

1. Get help in an area you may need more knowledge. Go get a consultation from a nutritionist. Go hire a personal trainer. Go take a fitness training. Go take a cooking class. Dig deeper.

2. Get help from friends and the community. Eating healthy may seem overwhelming. You may feel it takes too much time or costs too much. Join a CSA or community supported agriculture, the consumer purchases a share of a local organic farm and receives organic produce delivered to their home. So, you save money on organics and you don't have to go to the store saving time. Create a cooking group. Once a week you make a large meal to share with your friends and they do the same. By splitting a large portion, you end up with pre cooked meals for the rest of the week, while you only created one. Create a free workout group with friends. Find someone that has a location and then rotate bringing the workout each time you meet. Join a walking, running, biking, hiking club. Get social and fit and the same time. Dig deeper.

3. If after these 31 days you are still struggling with your eating, you need to dig deeper. They are probably emotional issues at work here. Get professional counseling. If money is an issue, join group therapy or an group like OA, Over eaters Anonymous. Find a counselor that is still working on their license hours or will charge with a sliding scale. If you have insurance alot of times, counseling is included and you only have to pay a copay. This requires alot of digging deeper.

The bottom line is we don't know it all, we can't do it all. Get creative. Whatever your excuse is, can you find a creative way to make it happen? No excuses, just solutions.

Thanks for your time. This is Coach Lana and I would love for you to join me at http://facebook.com/coachlana so we can connect.
