It’s very common for a new client ask (if not beg) at some point
along their journey with me, “Courtney! Just tell me what to eat
and I will eat it.”
To which I always say, “No, because I would be doing you a
massive disservice.”
My job as a health coach is not to dictate which specific foods you
can and cannot eat, my job is to educate you about the nutritional
value of the foods you are choosing (and other lifestyle choices
you are making) and help you become acutely aware of the
physiological response your body is having to those choices.
When you pay attention to what your choices are and the
consequences of those choices, you can connect the dots to what
ails you more easily and, hopefully…after a face plant or 10…you
will start making better choices, more consistently; and THAT is
how a transformation is hatched!
