HOW TO PREVENT UNHEALTHY HABITS? EASY!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, FIND THE PROBLEM!
From experience, I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to solve a problem that you cannot figure out. It is important that you first identify the problem o you can solve it.
GETTING INTO IT! FIRST THINGS FIRST!
The first thing you want to do when trying to change unhealthy habits is to come up with a plan. There are many temptations especially when it comes to eating. For myself, ice cream and anything with tons of sugar. I believe that everything is up to myself to make a change. It's good to take cheat days to trick your body but if you are trying to get the best results, you must stay on course and turn eating healthy into a lifestyle and not just a temporary thing. Temptations are extremely challenging but like anything else all it takes is a good attitude and maximum effort. Everything you put into it is what you will receive from it.
NEXT? SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP!
Sleep is one of the most important things. On the upside it gives you less time to eat and more time to let your body recover. I could tell you first hand that when you are trying to maintain a healthy nutrition while being a student-athlete, it is extremely challenging to get good rest. But, luckily there are gaps in between classes and throughout the entire day to get good rest.
ALWAYS STAY ACTIVE!
One thing I've learned throughout my years of life is that the more active you are, the more healthier you'll feel because your body is moving and functioning and asking to be fed. One of my favorite parts of my day is eating after a grueling workout. I enjoy the burn and eating makes the burn go away. With that being said, it's like a magnificent obsession. Growing up I figured, "Wow, maybe if I train more I'll be able to eat more and that's exactly what I did.
BE AMBITIOUS! SET GOALS AND DESTROY THEM!
Like many things in life, having a healthy nutrition is easy when you have a direction to go to. Set weight goals, max goals in the weight room, rep goals or whatever it may be to make sure you are always in the right direction. one thing I've learned is that when you set goals for things like this, it becomes a habit and you start setting goals for all aspects of life such as nutrition. The could make dieting and getting a healthier functioning body easier. Although it will take days, weeks, months and maybe years to accomplish the end game will always be worth it. There is no better feeling than conquering a journey you have embarked on that is challenging. For myself, I love being challenged and I love the feeling even more when I overcome them and make gains.
FINALLY! EAT, EAT, EAT! HEALTHY OF COURSE!
Do your research and calculations according to your body and eat everything and anything that can help your body become healthy, stay healthy and function healthy. Always remember, one of the best parts of life is eating after a hard day or a grueling workout. Without challenges in life, we wouldn't be able to appreciate these things.
