Here’s a tip:

Before diving into the wild world of protein this and protein that, how about you just try eating more of the protein that you’re *already* eating.

Stick a couple extra slices of turkey in that sandwich. Throw an extra egg or egg whites into that omelette. Ask for more chicken on your salad.

Trust us. You don’t need a million Pinterest recipes for protein cookies, ice creams, and pancakes. You’re already eating foods that have protein in them, you just need to eat MORE of them.

Focus on:
Sourcing whole food protein options (single ingredient foods).
Increasing the portion size of your protein source at each meal (a little more adds up to go a long way).
Making breakfast count (aim to consume at least 1/3 of your daily protein intake at breakfast).

We LOVE celebrating client wins! This is what real transformation looks like! Longevity and sustainable health!

A little better each day 💪🏼

To lose weight, you must stay within your caloric range while hitting a protein floor each day.

Strength training 3 times per week is also important to maintain muscle mass and burn more calories during daily movement.

Finally, getting enough sleep will help the body recover from all of these activities at night so it can continue burning fat throughout the next day.

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle, it can be easy to get off track with your calorie intake and exercise routine.

The key is not giving up when small setbacks happen in the process. Instead of being discouraged by one day outside of your caloric range, try using that as motivation for getting back on track tomorrow!

In fact, staying disciplined over time will show more progress than any temporary burst of enthusiasm ever could. It may feel discouraging at first but if you stay motivated and consistent with what's best for you then success will come sooner rather than later.

If you’re going to start a weight loss journey, make sure that health and fitness is a priority in your life.

It doesn't have to consume every aspect of your day or be the only thing on your mind.

You can get results without giving up everything else in life, but it will take some work from both parties - you need to find balance with yourself and health and fitness while also finding ways for them not to feel like a chore.

Start by asking yourself if you are willing prioritize this new lifestyle change.

It’s not easy.
Far from it.
Losing weight is tough, and keeping that weight off is way tougher.

And it has everything to do with the life you’re living outside of fitness—your sleep habits, your eating habits, even things like how much time you spend watching TV or scrolling through social media can impact whether those pounds stay gone for good.

If you want to make better choices about what goes into your body without feeling deprived or regretful later, then create routine around your sleep schedule, mealtime routines (eating more whole foods) and daily exercise.

Start small, keep it simple, and make it sustainable.

If you can't make a commitment to your health and fitness, start with small steps. We all have excuses for why we don't do what's best for our body or ourselves.

But if you're not willing to put in the effort, then nothing is going to change.

It doesn't matter how long it takes as much as that you just take those first few baby steps towards making yourself better than now.

What small step are you going to make today?

Anything worth having is always preceded by work.

For example, losing weight takes work and staying consistent takes work too.
Creating a healthy lifestyle also requires consistency and dedication, but it’s not impossible with the right support system in place to help you on your journey.

You have to do the work; there are no shortcuts or easy ways around this truth of life. But if you want results that last, then get ready for some hard won battles ahead of you!

With our lives being so busy, it is easier than ever to forget about the importance of taking care of ourselves.

We are all guilty at some point or another of skipping workouts and eating out more often because we feel like there just isn't enough time in a day for everything on our to-do list.

But when you think about it, your health is the most valuable asset of all.

Without your physical well-being, everything else - money, family and house - becomes meaningless.

Make sure you're taking steps every day to make yourself a priority by exercising, eating a balanced diet, and living a healthy lifestyle so you can live your best life.

What are you going to do today to make your health and fitness a priority?

There are two types of weightloss journeys. The people who think it will be linear progress and the ones who know its going to look more like a rollercoaster with some unexpected wins, interruptions, and fine tuning as they go along.

Which type do you identify with?

If your journey is looking less than ideal at this point in time, we want to encourage you not give up or change plans!

It is not about what you do that causes a break in your routine, but it is how you react to the act.

If you don’t know what triggers your bad habits and find ways to avoid them then they will continue to happen over time.

Find out what gets under your skin so that when those situations arise, you can take back control and stay on track with achieving your goals!

Comment below if you are ready to take back control and crush your goals today?

The most important thing you can do for yourself is focus on the things that are in your control.

How quickly you get back on track, how consistent you are with daily exercise and nutrition, these aspects will determine what happens to your waistline more than anything else.

So today make a choice – choose kindness over criticism; consistency over laziness; progress over perfectionism - this one decision may be all it takes to change everything.

Fitness is not a “quick fix”.

It needs to be part of your life, and when you accept this as true, the fads will stop being so tempting because it becomes about consistency.
We believe in long-term commitment and consistent progress over quick fixes; we can help you find something that works for you by exploring what motivates you and sticking with it until the end result is achieved.

When fitness becomes an important part of your routine- other parts of your life start to improve!

Are you ready to be done with the quick fixes and lose the weight for good?

You will start feeling good about yourself AFTER you make your health and fitness a priority.

We hear it all the time, “I want to lose 20 pounds” or "" I need to get in shape.""
But if you really want wellness - not just weight loss- there's more that goes into it than what meets the eye.

The facts are clear: A healthy lifestyle is a lifelong commitment of making healthier choices on a daily basis. And while losing weight may be an initial goal for some people, they're usually looking for something deeper like self-love and happiness with themselves inside and out.

Sometimes we think ""if only I could reach this one benchmark then everything would change"" but until we find our own motivation from within, transformational change isn't possible.

This is the Greenlight strategy to getting back on track.
Start by reading this post and following the tips.

The next day, when you wake up feeling refreshed and ready for anything that comes your way, take a minute to pat yourself on the back for all of these great habits you're developing! You deserve it!

What are some other ways you have found success in living with intention?

When you commit to being consistent with your nutrition and exercise, it will lead to long-term sustainable results.

We started Greenlight because many people want quick fixes without having a plan or committing the time for success.

If you're not seeing the results you want, then take responsibility for what steps need to be taken in order to see them. Commit yourself by writing down your goals every day and taking incremental steps towards achieving them each week until they become automatic habits that are embedded into who you are.

You can't reach those big dreams if you don’t have small daily actions on their way there!

What small actions are you going to take this week?

We all make food choices that we know we probably shouldn't have made.
But we need to stop letting one bad decision become days, weeks or months of bad decisions.

You can’t go back in time and undo what was done – but your next decision could be a defining moment for how things turn out from here on out.

Will it be a good choice that leads to more positive outcomes? Or will it be another mistake that pushes you further away from where you want to be?

You've come a long way.
Don't give up!
Stay the course, and know that you got this.
Your weight loss journey will be worth it in the end.

When you're feeling ready to start over again because of an inevitable setback or slip-up, go back through your gameplan one more time before making any changes. Review what has been working for you for motivation when needed and remind yourself why you started on this path to begin with so that you can stick with it until the end!

The idea of a "cleanse" or "detox" might sound appealing to some.

But it's important to consider the facts, and realize that these cleanses may not be necessary for most people. In fact, they can actually cause more harm than good.

Instead of looking for quick fixes and gimmicks like this, try simplifying your diet instead by eating less processed foods and eating more real food.

And over time those small steps will add up to big results!

What small steps are you going to take this week?

Slow progress is often discouraging, but you must be realistic when setting your goals.

First the weight starts coming off, next clothes start to fit better, then physical changes in the mirror and photos begin to show up.

Don't let slow performance get discouraged because it's only a matter of time before results are visible for all eyes to see!
