I'm not a big fan of the word, "Diet". It puts an image in my mind of the "fad diets" out there that only head people down the quick-fix path. However, it's the best way to describe what's out there I guess.
I recently met with Michelle Meilleur of Living Well Nutrition (Belleville, ON) to discuss a new "Diet" I heard discussed on one of my favorite podcasts. Some things sounded like they made sense, and other things I questioned. Our meeting reminded me of the joy of networking with other health professionals, and how great it is to have so many under one roof at ONE TO ONE.
I won't say the name of this new "diet". But I will remind people that asking questions is one of the best steps you can take to achieving your goals and to continue to learn. As a client or a professional; ask, ask, ask. LEARN. Robin Sharma's recent quote says it all; "Ordinary people are obsessed with entertainment. The best are obsessed with education".
Michelle reminded me that this new "diet" although it had some great points, it's still very general. One thing I've learned in my 10 years in the industry as a Fitness Pro and in working with Michelle is that general is GENERAL - that's it. It's not a "one size fits all" approach anymore. Nutrition gets very specific. In my opinion to a greater extent than fitness even. We can take points from some of these "gurus", but we have to also learn what works for ourselves too. What works for one, might not work for another.
