    \n
  1. Good nutrition is more valuable for transforming your body than a good workout<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Consistency is the number 1 factor that determines success<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. A lot of people underestimate how many calories they actually eat per day<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. A lot of people overestimate how many calories they actually burn per day<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Abdominal workouts and core workouts do not reduce belly fat<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. External validation should never be your driving factor when working on your health and fitness<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. If you’re doing it for anyone other than yourself, then it won’t work<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. You don\u2019t need to love exercise in order to make it a part of your daily life<\/em><\/li>\n
  9. Not all workouts are created equal. (Weight lifting workouts, cardio workouts, yoga workouts, stretching workouts, sport specific workouts all stress the body in different ways. It\u2019s best to figure out what type of workout will support your specific goals)<\/em><\/li>\n
  10. Organic or Gluten-free doesn\u2019t always mean healthy<\/em><\/li>\n
  11. It\u2019s best to eat a wide variety<\/u><\/strong> of nutrient-dense, minimally processed food<\/em><\/li>\n
  12. Many people underestimate how drinking water can support weight loss efforts<\/em><\/li>\n
  13. Don’t rely on motivation alone. If it’s a habit, you’ll do it regardless if you’re motivated or not<\/em><\/li>\n
  14. Reaching a fitness goal is not always linear. Our most successful clients know how to rebound quickly from setbacks<\/em><\/li>\n
  15. A lot of weight loss products and strategies profit off of ignorance and desperation<\/em><\/li>\n
  16. People that sit all day at work have more of a struggle to get in shape than people who are on their feet<\/em><\/li>\n
  17. Focus on progression not perfection<\/em><\/li>\n
  18. Real food over supplements \u201cwhenever possible\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n
  19. Inactivity leads to poor nutrition choices, activity leads to healthy nutrition choices<\/em><\/li>\n
  20. Fitness and nutrition are important for many reasons, but it should not consume every aspect and moment of your life<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
