Not everyone is ready to go on a diet, even if they have weight to lose.   Say whaaaaat? You read that right. Just because you have 10, 20 or 30lbs that you would like to lose doesn’t mean that it’s the right time to do it.  Let me explain.

The first thing we do with a nutrition client after getting to know them and their goals is to find out what they have done in the past and what they are doing now that has gotten them to where they are.   The reason isn’t to judge them.  Quite the opposite.  It’s to learn how we can best help them reach their goals.  One important thing we need to understand is what is going on with our client’s metabolism.

In the past, If something caused me pain during or after a workout I would typically stop what I was doing, immediately put ice on the affected area while simultaneously beginning to worry about all of the terrible things I may have just done to myself.  I would immobilize myself as much as possible to minimize the damage and take the maximum allowable dose of ibuprofen.  As I went about my life I would notice every little “feeling” in the affected area and start to worry about what was causing it.  Was I broken? Was there something messed up in there? Should I just continue to rest it? Should I take up yoga?
