Oh, motivation. Moooootivation. Mo-ti-va-tion. A thing of dreams, Pinterest quotes, and Instagram captions. We want you, hope for you, and pray for you, all with no idea of how to get more of you. That’s why we’re going to spend some time today talking bout how to master motivation (and where you might be going wrong). Maybe you go to bed with the intention of getting to the gym before work, only to end up pressing snooze until you’ve got just 10 minutes to wake-up-get-dressed-brush-teeth-slam-coffee-and-head-out-the-door. You may have even put “grocery shop & meal prep” in your ca ..read more

Why You Should Forget About Willpower
The Petite Professional
by Claire
5y ago
I’ve been creating content on the internet about nutrition and health since 2011. From the very beginning, you, my readers, have told me that the reason it’s difficult for you to eat well or exercise consistently is your non-existent, insufficient, or otherwise failing willpower. And guess what? You’re not alone! In 2011, 27% of respondents to the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America survey reported that their lack of willpower was their most significant barrier to change. And while I’ve got some of my own personal opinions and anecdotal client stories about willpower, fo ..read more

The KEY to Consistency in Your Healthy Lifestyle
The Petite Professional
by Claire
5y ago
I’ve been a healthy living guinea pig for quite some time now. You name it, I’ve tried it. Some of those trials were done in the name of science to share with my clients and followers. Others were born out of a genuine desire to up-level my own health… And then, of course, there were all the things I did to try and change my body into something I could love or at least like. From all of this trial and error came an essential learning: There are a few basic truths we know about health, and there are many variations that come from those truths. The variation that will work for you is simply the ..read more

For the past few weeks, I’ve been asking y’all via Instagram about your biggest challenges with your health. I scoured the responses, pulled out the most common ones, and started addressing them on IGTV. Check out our sessions on portion control, consistency, sugar cravings.) Today we’re going to start to tackle a big one that came up: your social life. I heard SO many different iterations of how your social life gets in the way of your health: overindulgent eating, drinking all weekend, friends who don’t share the same priorities, JUDGMENT from said friends, general lack of community, etc ..read more

How to Have a Healthy Holiday

Last week, we talked all about how to do a gluten and dairy free Thanksgiving if that’s your thing. But let’s be honest, that’s not even half of the battle of having a healthy holiday. (News flash: just because something is gluten and dairy free doesn’t make it a health food or give you license to engage in a food frenzy free for all.) This season can be a really tough time to stay focused on your health goals. There are treats everywhere, tons of booze, heavy meals… And it all kicks off with the Thanksgiving feast. So today I want to share some of my tips for how to enjoy the u ..read more

Gluten Free, Dairy Free Thanksgiving Recipes
The Petite Professional

I freaking love Thanksgiving. Actually, let me back up. The true origin of Thanksgiving is actually super problematic, but for the purposes of today's conversation, I'll be focusing on the holiday as a time during which friends and family come together and break bread. ...Which actually presents another problem for me personally. About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease-- a story for another day. As of a few months ago, one way I've chosen to manage my inflammation is to eliminate gluten and dairy from my diet. In case I've lost you, let I remind you that t ..read more

Today’s post covers a topic in nutrition that I get asked about pretty often, and I think I know why. It pretty much flies in the face of everything we’ve heard about healthy eating. You know, that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or that we should eat 5-6 times a day to keep our metabolism running. So today I wanted to cover the basics of intermittent fasting, the benefits of the practice, and how you can get started. what is intermittent fasting? Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that changes when you eat, not what you eat. IF comes in many different styles, t ..read more
