November Challenge 🌱
- Plan for PROGRESS, not perfection. The goal of this challenge isn't to be perfect everyday. We are humans, not robots. The goal is to be mindful of your meal choices and create small changes everyday that will lead to big changes.
- High-protein meals. Goal is to get in at least 30g of protein for EVERY meal. Goal is at least 3 meals a day. Eat another high-protein meal if you're hungry.
- No sugary or processed snacks. No chips, no candy, no soda, no juice, no pastries, no sugary coffee drinks, no alcohol, no processed breads. If you're always snacking it's probably because you don't eat enough protein so you're never satisfied.
Eat. More. Protein.
- If you have a busy lifestyle (most of us), PLAN AHEAD. Cook your breakfast and lunch the night before.
- First meal no later than 9am!! If your first meal is at 12, you're already behind. Also, breakfast doesn't have to be traditional breakfast foods!! I eat salmon, steak, sweet potatoes, rice for breakfast! Start your day with high PROTEIN, not high CARBS.
- SLEEP. At least 7 hours a night. This is the most important part of recovery & actually building muscle to increase metabolism.
- TRAIN. This challenge is focused on nutrition but if you wanna completely sculpt your body, LIFT WEIGHTS #health #bodytransformation #Lemon8Diary #summerbod #embracevulnerability
The November Challenge is not just about food; it's about fostering a healthier mindset towards nutrition. Start by setting realistic goals that prioritize progress over perfection. Focus on high-protein meals, aiming for at least 30g of protein in each meal to keep hunger at bay and maintain energy levels throughout the day. Avoid sugary and processed snacks, which can lead to cravings and unhealthy eating habits. Instead, consider meal prepping to save time during your busy schedule. If mornings are rushed, cooking breakfast and lunch the night before ensures you're set for the day ahead. Remember, breakfast can be versatile; it doesn’t need to consist of traditional foods. Include options like salmon or steak! Furthermore, quality sleep is crucial—aim for at least 7 hours nightly to aid muscle recovery and enhance metabolism. Lastly, incorporate strength training into your routine. Weight lifting complements a high-protein diet and promotes body sculpting, aligning with the challenge's goals. Embrace the process and witness your transformation over the month!
