Nutritional practices
LVX Health can help to guide you through each phase of your fitness training programme by offering the followiing, dedicated nutritional support and advice.
Making Time
Time management is foundational to all other behaviours
- Together, we will find out what you truly value and prioritise this in your schedule
- We will also define and eliminate what steals your time
- Together we will then ensure your calendar reflects what is most important to you
Eating Slowly
Eating slowly almost inevitably leads to eating a little less, feeling more in control of eating, as well as more mindful and aware
- This is essential to fat loss
- Eating slowly can be done anywhere, anytime, with any food, in any situation
- This includes binge eating
- A very simple habit to understand, though rarely an easy one to do
Leaving Space
To lose fat, usually we have to eat a little less than we do now
This habit builds on eating slowly and continues to teach appetite awareness, building intuitive understanding and control of hunger/fullness. Over time, you will learn to sense your hunger and satiety cues properly, as well as distinguish physical hunger from cravings. This habit helps you analyse eating habits as a process (rather than something that “just happens”), therefore it improves mindfulness.
