In your profession, is it common for people to start and stop?
Regrettably yes. That’s because most people try to “diet” instead of focusing on the most important thing, which is changing habits.
To achieve a healthy lifestyle, what does it take?
At first, have the tools: personalized eating plan according to requirements and objectives, movement and self-knowledge. These three pillars are key for a person to achieve this effectively. Then, establish a commitment to yourself, and apply consistency. This last point is where the traditional 1:1 method in the office usually fails, because many times the patient feels alone and loses commitment to their goals, which is why at SomosFit we work so hard to improve the system, and that people can really achieve it.
Why is it essential to have a personalized nutritional plan?
Because it’s not just about eating “healthy”, but about knowing the precise amounts of each food. A nutritionist can develop a plan based on your needs. Each plan is tailored to the person’s individual measurements, physical activity and goals.
What advice can you give to those seeking to achieve their goals effectively?
My main advice is not to underestimate the power of education and professional support. Nutrition is a science, and a nutritionist can provide you with expert, personalized guidance. Additionally, you can look for a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, physical activity and psychological support, like what we offer at SomosFit. Always remember that changing habits is a continuous process and that balance and flexibility are key to long-term success.
At SomosFit, a team of professionals from three different disciplines (nutrition, training and psychology) work together to help you change your habits through education and a comprehensive approach seeking a complete transformation of your lifestyle.
