COVID killed The Holiday Diet

I overheard something CRAZY yesterday

Yet thinking about it, it’s a phrase I hear ALL the damn time

Maybe you’ve even said it…..?

“I’m going on holiday in 6 weeks, better start going to the gym”

SH*T

This is classic lazy human behaviour

But just cos we all crash diet doesn’t make it right

Reason being, MOMENTUM always wins…

6-12 weeks of being Rocky Balboa will not reverse 40-odd weeks of being unhealthy

It’s like being overdrawn on your bank account

You have to put money in just to get your balance back to ZERO

Or performing a hill start when your car is rolling backwards

You have to put your foot down just to get your car to stand STILL

Many of you will be EXTREMELY, MASSIVELY ‘overdrawn’ in fitness

> poor mobility and flexibility

> poor muscle mass

> high levels of body fat

> poor posture

> poor response to food (as hormones out of balance)

LISTEN

it may take 6-12 months to reverse the damage

….here comes the (more) painful part…

You don’t have a way round this! 

You can’t bypass this fact at all

There is not a diet in the world that will correct a serious hormonal imbalance in 6 weeks

Or cure super fatigued adrenal glands in 4 weeks

The crash diet is DEAD

 CORONAVIRUS will be used as an excuse by the weak minded as to WHY they can’t get in shape this summer.

With many European holiday destinations and airlines on lockdown, this is (unfortunately) a great example of the short time mindset, most people when faced with a NEW DISEASE will use it as an excuse to be LESS health.

Pathetic.

Rather than live an unhealthy life and try to reverse momentum in 6 weeks or whenever you get round to it

Wouldn’t you prefer to live a healthy life with a few drinks on the weekend?

And enjoy a guilt free and SHAME free holiday where you can eat what you like before the holiday (because you’re already in shape) - when you can get on holiday I mean.

Enjoy the time whilst you are away (because your body looks great)

And enjoy your time when you’re back (because you aren’t living with the shame of being seen in your swimsuit and NOT seen on any of the photos)

That’s a real break, a rejuvenating holiday

Not stress before, during and after

And it’s bigger than holidays too remember

Being healthy IMPROVES how your kids look up to you

Being healthy IMPROVES what your boss or clients think of you

Being healthy IMPROVES how you think of yourself!

And most importantly, being healthy IMPROVES what you can give back to your loved ones

And I know, I KNOW….

You may want to ignore this message

Think that ‘it’s not the right time’ to take action

But remember what I said about momentum and 6-12 months of effort just to get your body back to a baseline level of health?

so YES, it is the right time of year to talk about this

Because ANY time is right.

Just get yourself started. One small step. TODAY.
