As the name suggest, flexible dieting is the concept of a nutrition program that allows for flexibility above all else. Your diet should conform to your life; your life should not have to conform to your diet. This is all-inclusive of flexible daily food choices while at home, and the meals you consume while eating out or during special occasions, having a flexible mindset, and the flexibility in your overall nutrition plan and goals. Committing to a plan that’s flexible as opposed to being rigid means that falling off track from time to time is part of the plan, and as such, there’s no need to punish oneself for it. This then gives the dieters the flexibility to forgive themselves for going off course, or even better, not to feel guilty about it in the first place, which means picking up where they left off comes quickly and easily.

Flexible dieting then makes for better consistency. Flexibility and consistency together lead to sustainability. Through flexible dieting we also equally encourage accuracy. Our goal is to find a nutrition protocol that will fit each client individually. The closer the client follows that protocol, the more accurate our data is. Accurate data is important so that we can determine whether or not the plan we’ve designed is the right plan for that individual, and if it is, the more accurately the client follows the plan the more progress we should expect to see. Flexible dieting offers balance by finding harmony among the four qualities: flexibility, accuracy, consistency and sustainability. When a client becomes too focused on any single quality, the others will suffer making the diet difficult to stick to. We like to think of flexible dieting not as a diet, but instead as a way of learning to eat to best nurture our physical and spiritual selves.

Life is not always perfect, and no two days are exactly the same. Finding a nutrition program that our clients can adhere to as life happens, things change, or during the roughest of times, is the flexible dieting goal. A diet that does not bend will eventually break. It’s important to know that motivation is fleeting, and while often very high at the onset of a new diet (or any goal), it eventually fizzles out and fades away. Our aim is to help clients build sustainable healthy habits that are not inspired by motivation alone, while coaching them with the flexibility to bend their diet around their day-to-day lives.
