Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

Dining out. We all do it. Whether it is for work, pleasure, convenience, travel, an event or for really, no reason at all. Eating out is part of our lifestyle.  But is it possible to stay fit and healthy when eating outside of the home? Despite close to 50% of all food spending from Americans being at restaurants, fast foods or food away from home, there was once a time when eating out was costly and inconvenient and an insult to your grandmother to compare her home-cooked meal to food served in a restaurant.  Karel told me that when he was growing up in Czech, they rarely ate out. Eating out was reserved for very special occasions and he said that for him and his siblings, it was a chance to practice their good manners.  Today, you don’t need a special occasion to have someone serve you, wait on you, prepare food for you and clean up after you.   Meal prep at home is far from a valued and necessary skill with available food at every street corn...

A few tips for a more balanced day:  -Aim for 60 minutes of movement today (any way you like it, split up or at once) -Snack on fruits and veggies  -Surround yourself with people who give you energy, not take it away from you -Be motivated by your personal goals that are meaningful and realistic, not by what others are doing and what you feel others expect you to do. -Eat to be satisfied, fueled and nourished. Focus on a plant strong meal that is balanced with whole grains (1/2 - 1 cup) or high fiber starch (~30-50g carbs) +  20-30g of protein + enough healthy fat to make the meal taste great and hold you over (~7-15g).  -Work on a good, better, best system. Don't try to be your best right now if you are just making good choices. Accept the patience that is needed to make small changes that will last a lifetime.  -Learn to love new things in life. Not much is easy the first time you do it, especially if you want it to change you....
