What "Fits" into your lifestyle?

Exercise Programs Comments Off on What "Fits" into your lifestyle?

E njoying life is all about finding all the things that "fit." I'm not talking about a pair of jeans or a new bikini. Yet, maybe I am. Recently I have been involved with many discussions regarding exercise programs; mostly pertaining to "do you think I should try that program?" "I don't think I'm going to like that one, but is it really better?" Then in a different yet similar discussion; just yesterday, I found myself discussing the Paleo diet with a physician. Is it "all or none?" "All these programs sound amazing, which one works the best and what ones do I need to do?" It's about finding the right fit for you.

During a recent talk that I gave to a local community group, I realized the vast difference between the

The continuously changing "Diets" always tend to be the hot topic and are discussed on a daily basis; gluten-free and Paleo diets are on the top of the list today. I had the morning news on a few weeks ago and was listening to the interview during the cooking session. The interviewer made a point to say to the chef, "but, I know that you are not a practicing 'vegan' why are you on our show today, showing us these fabulous 'vegan' recipes?" Needless to say, I perked up and turned an ear to listen to his response. Because, usually you'd go to the professionals that practice what they preach, wouldn't you?

His response was that just because this is a vegan meal, doesn't mean that those of us who aren't per-se "vegans" still can't enjoy the dish. He added that he is a "vegan" sometimes and tries to be a "vegetarian" most of the time and really enjoys throwing in a "Paleo" meal every now and again. I really thought that was a great answer.

I could never be a true "vegetarian", however I love vegetarian meals and I can choose to eat one, two or three of them a day, week or month. I love the philosophies behind the Paleo diet; its simplicity and historical thought processes are right on. There too, I will chose to eat some Paleo meals whether it's daily, weekly or a few times a month. Have you ever tried Gluten-free? That too, is delicious and has no reason to not be in our diet when we choose. Will I choose to become exclusive in any of these kinds of diets? Probably not, because I know me and I know what works for my active family. Would I choose to ever become exclusive in any of them, only if I needed to. There are medical reasons that require individuals to avoid gluten, dairy and sugar and those are extremely important to factor into your personal "fit."

So when I council individuals on their exercise and dieting I encourage them to only practice what is going to fit into their lifestyle at the present time. Choose what you know will work, what you'll like, mix it up and remember that what works today might not be the perfect "fit" next year. When you find that "fit" exercise and dieting become easy!
