Dieting and Healthy Eating Best Practices For Moms

Tracking Pixel

For the past few weeks, I’ve been reading Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion, which is now available to purchase.

I’ve been following the revolutionary Always Eat After 7 PM diet and I’ve seen a huge difference in how I feel, especially since getting lighter has dramatically reduced my back pain.

Always Eat After 7PM by Joel Marion

My experience has inspired me to share some Best Practices when it comes to following a diet and embarking on a healthy eating journey.

The author shares:

When you focus on becoming the person you want to become, and do the work to change your identity so that you are that type of person, you will be much more successful with creating change that lasts.

I think the reason I had never been on a diet before is that I don’t like to temporary things. I am usually attracted to creating lasting change and leading a healthy lifestyle.

I don’t just want to just look good for a particular occasion, according to someone else’s standards. I want to enjoy vibrant energy, to be active, to feel focused, and to feel like myself in my own body.

3 Best Practices For Dieting Moms

There are 3 practices and principles that can help you become the person who lives a healthy lifestyle:

Your Diet Requires Consistency

In my work coaching moms over the years, I’ve found that they think they are terrible at consistency, but that is a misconception.

Consistency is not perfection.

It is simply conformity in the application of a process, and moms are experts at this! Your children would not survive nor thrive if you were incapable of being consistent.

Commit and aim to follow the process in integrity, but forsake perfectionism, because it will only lead to guilt, shame, and regret.

Your Diet Requires Patience

It seems that we use up all our patience in our kids – I mean, we need a greater supply than we even have. Am I speaking for myself?

The point is, we are not patient with ourselves, and this shows especially when we are doing something for ourselves.

I love this excerpt from the Always Eat After 7PM book:

Simply put, as with everything worth pursuing and accomplishing, there will be plenty of challenges and obstacles and setbacks along the way. And if you’re not mentally prepared and relentlessly tough from the neck up, you’ll have a hard time achieving anything great in life, including long-term weight loss on this program.

Decide that you’ll become mentally tough enough to trust the process, be patient with yourself, and follow the course.

Remember the FOCUS acronym: Follow One Course Until Success!

Your Diet Requires Grace

Giving yourself grace includes allowing yourself to feel every emotion that comes your way, validating those feelings, and deciding to take whatever imperfect step forward.

I have noticed that it is when we decide to embark on a new journey that we find truths that hurt or that we are not willing to accept about the person we’ve been.

Unless you do the deep work to change who you are, achieving a goal will be nothing more than a momentary change, instead of the lasting change that you desire.

As we take personal responsibility, we can decide to be improve ourselves, to be a bit better, taking charge of the present to build our new future.

In the book, author Joel Marion, diet and fitness expert, shares:

Embrace the present, live in the moment, and make the choice to progress further toward the person you want to become, today.

I am very pleased to see my Always Eat After 7PM results and I feel confident for the road ahead. You know what they say: I didn’t come this far to just come this far.

I encourage you to get your own copy and try it for yourself, so you can enjoy more energy, more endurance, and better sleep, while losing the leftover stubborn weight from carrying your precious babies.

Here are Joel Marion’s top tips for you to get in shape and STAY in shape!
