You Can't Outwork a Bad Diet

This year my husband and I have been focused on role modeling a healthy lifestyle for our children. We started working out most days of the week and eating healthier meals. We also read articles and watched videos on healthy lifestyles. One thing that was repeatedly expressed is that what you eat has a greater impact on weight loss than the exercising you do. My favorite quote about this is, "Abs are made in the kitchen."

What you consume matters. This is true of things we consume by mouth and those consumed by our eyes and ears. If we consume a bad diet of negative talk, pessimism, and cynicism whether it be about ourselves or others. A bad diet is a bad diet, we can't simply say a few affirmations to erase it away. And depending on how much has been consumed it may be internalized, that may lead to negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. You can't outwork, outrun, or hide a bad diet. It will show itself with your results and results don't lie. So what's the fix? Better nutrition. A consistent diet of healthy, positivity, whatever that looks like for you. Just like a weight loss plan can be honed for optimal results for a particular individual, personalize your diet and you won't be on the short end learning the lessons of trying to outwork a bad diet.
