Are you struggling to make progress at the gym? For most, it isn't what your doing/not doing inside the gym! It is what you are doing/not doing OUTSIDE of the gym!
The FOUNDATION of making progress towards health, longevity, and elite/well rounded fitness lies in NUTRITION
Our FOUNDATIONAL NUTRITIONAL PRINCIPLES at COMPLETE
These principles guide the way we approach the application of our nutrition knowledge with our clients. We share these basic truths and adjust based on the needs of clients. These truths are the lifelong habits and beliefs that we are trying to instill in our clients.
EAT REAL FOOD
We believe in eating real, nutrient dense foods as much as possible. Include nutrient rich plants, adequate protein, and water as your primary beverage.
NOT TOO MUCH, NOT TOO LITTLE
We believe in eating amounts that support goals and lifestyle
RESPECT THE CIRCLE
We believe that nutrition, sleep, exercise, social interaction, and mental/emotional state are interconnected and have powerful effects on one another. Therefore, we respect the circle and teach deep health.
DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
We believe that a unique, specific plan is needed for each individual to be successful with nutrition. Although common practices may repeat themselves, we believe in taking information, goals, and feedback and providing a custom approach to each client. This is the path to long term sustainability.
“WHY”
We believe that significant and lasting change is anchored in a client’s ‘WHY.’ We believe establishing this immediately and revisiting it often is vital to success.
MAKE IT STICK
We believe COMPLETE nutrition is a long term solution for our clients. We believe in creating a sustainable system that educates and empowers clients to maintain their habits outside of the program.
