The Last Supper-ing effect

Let’s say you decide it’s time to make some changes and (re)start a healthy lifestyle, so you pick a date to begin. You’ve got it all planned out: You’ll work out, eat better, drink more water, go to bed early, and do all the things.

And before the big day gets here, you make sure you eat ALL your favorite foods …

Because you’re not going to be “allowed” to eat them once your new routine kicks in.

And you DO eat them.

There’s a name for that: Last Supper-ing.

And there are TWO BIG REASONS it get in the way of your results!

FIRST, just on a practical basis, loading up on all your favorites can lead to weight gain, pushing you even farther from your goals — before you even get a chance to work on them.

But SECOND (and even more importantly), this kind of thinking helps cement an all-or-nothing attitude towards food.

That’s when you label some foods as “good” and others as “bad” — and it can make it almost impossible to stick with your routine because it’s not sustainable in the long term.

Example: what if your favorite food is pizza, and suddenly you 1) can’t have pizza and 2) don’t want to think about pizza?

The first thing you do is immediately start thinking about PIZZA, am I right?

And then you start craving it.

A better approach: finding a solution that works for you long-term and that actually INCLUDES your favorite foods (in moderation), so nothing is ever completely “off-limits.”

Read this if you feel like slowing down

Have you been working on getting stronger and building a solid fitness routine this year?

With the holidays right around the corner, there’s often a big push to “stay on track” and not lose progress.

But… what if your body is asking for a pause? What if slowing down feels right?

I get it.

And, as it turns out, we’re actually wired to feel this way.

Research shows that, as we shift into winter, our bodies naturally crave more sleep, comfort, and even a little extra fuel.

In other words, what you’re experiencing is biology—not a lack of discipline.

Still, rather than letting go of your routines, what if you tried modifying them to fit the season?

If your focus is on building a consistent workout habit, here’s what that might look like:

Swap outdoor running for indoor treadmill intervals

Replace evening workouts with morning workouts

Or try a macro-friendly meal service like Clean Eatz in place of weekly meal prep while balancing holiday plans.

Life has its seasons…

Sometimes, we’re all in and going strong—and other times, rest is what we need most.

Seeing those moments as chances to modify rather than quit can break that “start-stop” cycle so many of us feel stuck in.

That’s why over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing ways to stay on track without the pressure this holiday season, including:

Setting boundaries to protect your time, energy, and health

Fully enjoying holiday treats without the guilt

Finding ways to keep moving—even with a packed schedule

Shifting from “have to” to “want to” around your health habits

And so much more.

Let’s have a happy, healthy, end to 2024!

Want our BEST anti-aging tip?

Want our BEST anti-aging tip?

Stay active.

I know it might not be what you want to hear, but it’s a cold, hard fact that physical exercise can slow down aging.

Have you heard of “telomeres” before?

They’re the protective “end caps” on each side of our chromosomes… kind of like the little caps on the ends of your shoelaces.

They get shorter as we age.

BUT… when scientists examined the telomere length in more than 5,800 adults who were part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey…

They found something REALLY interesting…

Active people had longer telomeres than those who weren’t as active — even after accounting for other factors like their lifestyle and actual age!

That means that at a cellular level, the active people looked younger.

Pretty incredible, right?

And what a huge motivator to get — and stay — active!

As you might guess, this is a major area of research right now, and all the specifics of what kind of exercise — and how much exercise — you need to get the most benefit are still being studied. However, a good starting point would be 2 to 3 hybrid strength and conditioning workouts a week.
