Ian Street - Functional Strength Coach

Make your nutrition as strong as your training! Unfortunately, you can’t out train a bad diet. This is all about addressing this side of a fitness journey. Instead of spending time counting calories and weighting everything out, you’ll learn about portion control and how that would look for you personally. How to keep track and develop consistency, how to make a healthy kitchen and help your body function on the inside just as well as its learning to on the outside.

• Improve nutritional knowledge and understanding your food choices
• Work together to find out what methods work best for you.
• Coach/guide when changes may be necessary.
• Check-ins - help, support, and accountability.
• Find consistency.
• Access to recipes.
• Give you the tools to succeed.

Through this you will learn ways in which to look at your eating habits differently, looking at the different types of food (Macronutrients) Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats and what foods fall into these categories. Portion sizes and calorie control and more.

This is not about crazy dieting and faddy type approaches; it works through sound principles of quality nutrition. The reason why we'll take this approach is the answer to a common question that so many ask, "What's the best diet?" the answer: "There isn't one."

The basic premise behind this is a moderate calorie restriction. I'm going to talk you through this, as this alone is not what it's about and doesn't achieve a great physique. At the end of the day, you could drop your calories to 500 per day and just eat crisps! Do you think you would be healthy at the end of this? Not a chance, but more importantly do you really think you would look good? I would say a definite no! Your body would go into starvation mode very quickly and you would look starved and malnourished. You certainly would not be able to sustain this long term either. That's not the way forward whatsoever.
