What is your favorite and most effective way to help your clients improve thier eating habits?
I ask my bootcampers and clients what they’ve had for breakfast, or lunch. I suggest a healthier option if there is one. I also ask them what they plan on eating for thier next meal to get them thinking about planning ahead..
In group settings it’s great to re construct a food/meal choice, it gives others the opportunity to re think their choices. I also like randomly asking things like: How many grams of fiber have you had today, or how many grams of sugar did you eat yesterday: or how much sodium should you eat in a day: or how many calories are in your snack?
Basiclly I want to create awareness of proper food choices.
With that being said, don’t forget, we are trainers not dieticians. We can give out basic, sound nutritional guidance but we must watch that we stay in our scope of certification and training.
