#338: Willpower is not enough.

from The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast) · host Aleksa the Sports Dietitian

If you have spent any decent time trying to work on your health, nutrition, and fitness, you would have been likely led to believe that those with the strongest willpowers are those that succeed.And that without sheer, unrivaled willpower, you don’t stand a chance, right?What if I told you it’s not quite that black and white…that it’s not that simple. That it’s more complex than that and that quite simply, willpower is not enough. In this episode, I explain why willpower is a poor tool to leverage your success on and why so many have got it wrong about willpower and “motivation” when it comes to ultimate, sustainable longer term nutrition success. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________Email me: [email protected] MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easierhttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WTo find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au
