What is the One Primary Reason People Fail Trying to Get Healthy?
The number one critical skill that will help you overhaul your health
I’ve seen some things in my time. I’ve heard every excuse under the sun why someone doesn’t stay committed to their health.
I’ve been a personal trainer and nutritionist for nearly 20 years now. I’ve had the opportunity to work in health clubs in Canada, the US, England, and Australia. I’ve worked with every type of client you can imagine from young athletes to senior citizens.
Nutrition is the key component that will determine your success, and when it comes to sticking to a healthy diet, I found out why most people don’t stay with it:
They can’t cook.
These may seem simple, but a lack of skill in the kitchen has led to the downfall of many well-intentioned healthy lifestyle changes.
The ability to cook and to learn how to combine flavors is paramount in keeping your nutrition on track. The biggest benefit of cooking from scratch is that you use whole-food ingredients.
