So here it is, the approach that has contributed to the success of clients at Poehlmann Fitness.
Before we get into the details of flexible dieting and how it works, I want to clarify one thing. Flexible dieting is not a type of diet. It's just a name used to identify eating in a manner that benefits your body and your joy.
So what is flexible dieting?
Flexible dieting was coined by Dr. Layne Norton years back. Although some individuals have taken this approach and abused it by eating nothing but junk (the "If It Fits Your Macros mentality), the simple principles that he brought to light are practical, optimal for performance & body composition, and science-based.
This simple and easy concept is exactly what it sounds like - eating with flexibility. It comes down to prioritizing whole food sources while enjoying the foods that you love.
"But how do I enjoy the foods that I love if I have to eat clean to reach my goal?"
Great question. In order to understand how both these things are possible during your health and fitness journey, it's important that you first learn how the body processes the foods we eat.
