based habit goal around nutrition, e.g. ‘eat 2+ serves of veggies
and 1 of protein with every main meal’. Every time they do this they
get a star on their success calendar. This kind of reward chart, that
counts behaviours rather than calories, is much easier to actually
do, and has been proven more likely to embed positive habits that
will lead to lasting success.
how our bodies look, towards what they enable us to do, feel and
experience. Instead of talking about whether they lost weight this week
or if they are looking good, remind them how much more fit, flexible,
strong and energetic they are becoming. Help them celebrate what
their body can do, rather than just judging it by how it looks.

6 Stop labelling food as good or bad, or ‘cheat’ meals
As a fitness professional you are probably pretty clued up on
macros and micros of nearly every food you put in your mouth.
The problem is, when you talk good/bad food to a person
struggling with chronic weight issues and emotional eating, the
‘bad food’ label is like a red rag to a bull. The minute that food
becomes off-limits it suddenly becomes so much more desirable.
Instead of labelling food this way, and giving your client a list of
authorised and unauthorised foods, teach them to think that all
food is possible – there are just some foods that will energise the
body, and some foods that will drain the body. Help your client
become aware of how their body responds to different foods.
Ask them what makes them feel energised, and what makes them
feel sluggish? The more you can teach them to guide their own
choices, with the feedback from their body, the more you are
setting them up for lasting success.
