Galway PT shares tips for fussy eaters who want to change diet and lose weight – RSVP Live

Diet Comments Off on Galway PT shares tips for fussy eaters who want to change diet and lose weight – RSVP Live

When it comes to losing weight, we are all aware of what two factors will produce results - exercise and diet.

You may need to improve your fitness levels and be more active in your daily life to shift unwanted pounds.

And while exercise is a crucial part of the process, joining a gym only to eat a diet that is lacking in necessary nutrients will be of no value to you.

Changing up diets isnt a big deal to some people, but if youre a fussy eater, it can be a daunting task.

Introducing new foods you do not like the taste or texture of into your eating plan can be a major turn-off for some people and even make them hesitant to start their weight loss journey.

RSVP Live spoke to personal trainer Dylan McDonnell, who is based in Galway, about how fussy eaters can be more open to trying healthier foods.

Some of the PTs clients are picky when it comes to food, and he has some steady advice on what they can do to change their mindset.

Its not that we need to completely revamp the diet and go from one extreme to the next, he says.

Were not going to take out everything you enjoy and put in all of these things that youre unsure about or wont enjoy.

Its more about looking at your diet with an inclusive mindset rather than an exclusive one.

Dylan notes that its important to add nutritional foods to the diet if youre seriously lacking, but believes there is no need to cut out perhaps less healthier foods as its not practical.

He says: I always say when clients come to me that it is all about approaching it from an inclusive point of view, so there is no client that ever comes to me that we take out all of the things they enjoy because its not something theyre going to sustain.

Keeping something in that you have in your diet everyday that you enjoy, keeps a normality in the diet and allows you to stay on track and adhere to it in the long-term.

We know if we put someone eating chicken, broccoli and rice, all of those clean foods of course theyre going to lose weight.

But people wont stick to it, it's not a sustainable thing, so its finding something they can adhere to and still get the results.

Knowing that not every food has to leave your diet can be comforting news to fussy eaters, but how do you include different things youre unsure of eating?

Dylan recommends exploring different recipes and cooking methods to get the best out of foods picky people may avoid, such as vegetables.

If you had a bad experience eating food prepared one way, try cooking or seasoning it a completely different way.

People relate vegetables and foods like that to maybe the way they were fed it when they were younger - perhaps theyre parents found it easier to just boil them, he explains.

But there are so many different options - roasts, stir-fries, adding seasonings, putting low-calorie sauces on, mixing them in with other foods, smoothies, juices.

Dont avoid a food because you think there is just one option - there are so many different ways to prepare.
