what's going on guys and welcome back to the fit men cook kitchen as you can see
I don't have anything sauteing or boiling or steaming right now in the
background it's just me and you I do have some infants going because I cook
mad garlic and onion and got the whole place to know and like Thanksgiving
morning up in here one of the really cool things about this place that I'm in
and writing this book is that I feel like I'm in a really creative place and
my publisher bless her heart she is challenging me more and more to
consolidate my ideas just for this book and to save some of the other stuff for
other books and other projects and it's a challenge because aside from all the
recipes I also want to share a little bit about my journey and how I've been
able to navigate this healthy lifestyle now for what almost five years going so
all that to say I've been writing a whole lot and when I feel something I'm
going to write it down but today's video is actually inspired by a recent
experience that I had when I was in the gym and it's about being and a diet rut
about being in your own diet depression and I call it a diet depression because
that's what it feels like whenever you're in that rut it's debilitating you
are disenchanted you're not motivated to try new foods and you hit a brick wall
and you feel that you can't move past it a young guy came up to me he said hey
I've lost some weight I've got at least 16 more pounds to go and I had to lose
this weight because I really want to try out for the Marines I was trying to
share some ideas with him and they got me thinking that it's less about him
hitting this weight plateau he was really asking a question about
how can I get motivated again rather than write this stuff down and share it
later I wanted to share it now so with that being said I want to share with you
all five things that I did to dig myself out of my own diet depression my own
diet rut the first thing I did to dig myself out of a diet rut is I had to get
understanding meaning get perspective about what's going on in my life I had
to become a lot more self aware of the external factors that oftentimes
influence the choices that we make is their emotional drama at work is an
emotional drama at home with you and the kids or you and wifey what are those
things that are happening right now in your life that are influencing your
decision not to get too personal but at the very beginning of this year I went
through a breakup and it was really disappointing cause it was something
that I really enjoyed and I thought it was going to last but it didn't last and
at the time I was working out I had a strict diet and I was doing all that and
so when that breakup happened I slowly began to back away from that and I
didn't really realize I was dissatisfied with where I was and so I was projecting
that on to everything else I began to become dissatisfied with my
workout I became dissatisfied with my diet and so incrementally I started to
make these different decisions that that move me farther away from my fitness
goals and from my diet goals and I had to confront the truth that a lot of
things that were happening with me emotionally we're also influencing my
dietary decision so you've got to make up your mind and you've got to get
perspective about what's going on in your life it don't even have to be that
deep it could be you are working more hours at work you've just moved to a
brand new city and you don't know the area very well give perspective about
what's going on and once you get perspective and you can begin to deal
with those underlying issues the second thing I did is this idea I like to call
a dropping bread crumb go back to what you were doing when you first started
your diet when you were feeling happy about healthy eating when you were meal
prepping I asked myself the same question and I and I wrote it down and
one of my first diet was these are some of the foods I was eating I was having a
v8 and a salad a Lean Cuisine some turkey hotdogs chicken breast brown rice
and salad and fruits as as dessert and please don't write me yes I know the lot
of that service process but hey it's what I was doing and just the memory of
this it got me smiling they got me fun because I remember how I
felt I felt so accomplished I felt so OnPoint and even though I wouldn't buy
some of these foods right now immediately it gave me some ideas about
what I could do be doing right now if I wanted to add some variety to my diet
and don't take my word for it you can look at some of the professional
athletes you watch them oftentimes when they're going through some of their
loads what they'll do is they will go back to their old high school coach or
there are all that middle school coaches they'll go back to their parents who are
coaching them for four and work with this why is that important when they
were working with them they were in love with their sports they were loving it
and they felt it and they want to get back to that so that's what you have to
do here with your diet go back to what you were doing before go back to your
old routines it could ignite that fire that will get you back on the road to
eating well again the third thing I did to get out of the diet rut was I changed
my environment and I changed up my routine in order to get variety in my
life one thing that I love to do is I love to shop around at different
supermarkets I live in downtown Dallas but I will go
all the way at like 20 30 miles out some time to go to a different work store and
people will see me they said hey I don't know you the two lived over here
I don't but there is a lot of value in changing up your environment different
supermarkets and different areas they will offer different products and
different foods and it's in those product offerings that allows you to get
new variety and new ideas into your own diet and the reality is if you don't
switch up your environment you're always going to have what you have and it's
funny how you will go to different stores searching for a shoe a brand new
t-shirt a dress why won't you do that when it comes to your diet and this is
especially true for ethnic cuisine many cities have different pockets so here in
Dallas you can go to a Japanese food store Indian Market a Mexican essential
American market and all these different places provide you with different
products so that you can enrich your own diet and lastly on this topic of
changing your environment getting variety eat out don't be so concerned
about being super healthy that you are zip
locking your entire life new experiences eating out and enjoying the military
pole really helps us to socialize and it brings us together and if you can't
afford to well you can also eat end but have seemed nice so one night you're
going to make a great Mexican dish another night and Italian night whatever
it is whether you eat out or stay in you can make it work for you
the fourth thing I did to get myself out of the diet rut is I had food challenges
on fit men cook calm I post monthly food calendars that has a food challenge
really every single week and I did this because I wanted to mirror what I was
doing in my own personal lives each week I would challenge myself to try a brand
new food and I look forward to trying something new every single week so when
we try out a brand new vegetable and I would go into the internet do a search
for healthy recipes with that vegetable and then go and make it and other days I
would say all right I'm going to try out a brand new complex carbohydrate because
I'm tired of just eating quinoa rice and sweet potato expand my horizon and all
those things led to my kitchen competency my confidence in the kitchen
and it allowed me to be able to understand how to pair foods together so
that way I can get variety and have a really enriched diet often times we have
anxiety about eating out or just foods in general because we lack the knowledge
so having these food challenges in place allows you to experiment with new food
and lastly one of the final things I did to get myself out of a diet rut is I
never stopped learning one of my favorite scriptures is the concept that
we all have heard before and it's reaping and sowing whatever you sow you
will reap in other religions it's Karma when the philosophy doing good and the
universe is going to get back to you but whatever concept you believe in
understand this whenever you nourish your body with healthy foods your body
responds positively so whenever you are able to nourish your mind about new
diets and trends and foods you're able to take those things and apply them to
your own life as needed in the way that you can sustain and that you can manage
that makes sense for you never get to a place where you
that you just know it all whenever you get to that point that's when you stop
growing so be yourself new ideas and new perspectives this is particularly true
if you are in the health and wellness industry but you're on the service side
so you are a trainer you are a motivator you are a nutritionist you are a coach
you are somebody that people have deemed as a resource you are a cookie dog
meaning people see you and they see cookies and they reach their hand in
they take it out and they eat it very rarely do people put cookies back
into the jar and so what happens to you then you yourself are emptied out and
you don't haven't enough substance for you to dig yourself out of your own diet
right so if you find yourself as the only resource for everyone around you
then still help people but you've got to find yourself another place where people
can pour into you where you aren't the smartest person in the room where you're
feeling challenged and that way you can have a sufficient supply of cookies for
all those hungry people that you are empowering and helping out everybody
finds themselves at a place where they're not feeling as motivated but the
difference between those people and everybody else is how they respond how
are you going to respond to your own diet it's time to get up from the couch
stop feeling sorry for yourself stop lamenting those five pounds of to
loss that you already gained back last weekend it's time to get over it
understand your surroundings drop breadcrumbs and go back to those basics
change your environment your routine and get variety have some healthy food
challenges and number five never stop learning well that's it for today's
video I hope that you all enjoyed it to some degree we have all experienced that
that place where we're not feeling as enthusiastic about this healthy journey
so understand that your circumstances right now are not uncommon you want that
special you're special but you aren't that special and what's going to
separate you from everybody else is how you respond to this you can continue to
wallow in the diet rut like I did for years or you can take
your diet by the ring and guide yourself out of this and once you do it this one
time you're going to be able to do this every single time I guarantee I don't
worry about this anymore because I know how to find my way back
to that impassioned place where I'm excited about my diet I'm excited about
healthy living if you like videos like this I invite you to hit that like
button below but more so than that I want you to take just a couple seconds
and if you've ever been in a diet rut I want you to share your experience below
in the comment section and also share how you got out of that diet rut and
it's through these ideas through the sharing of all of these ideas that our
community is going to continue growing and thriving again I want to thank y'all
for watching until next time I want to try to keep it healthy but of course
never ever boring Oh bye
