Micro-dose - YOUR FITNESS DIET

Breaking down nutritional habits into digestible things to do every day will help navigate an intentional path towards your workout goals

Most of us would agree that having a long-term fitness goal helps to keep us motivated. Setting clear fitness intentions keeps us accountable for the gym workouts that we're tempted to skip come a rainy Monday evening, and inspires us to consistently align our training routine with a wholesome diet. In short, aspirations ensure that our fitness dreams edge that little bit closer to reality. We all want to make progress towards our goals as quickly as possible, but there are times when our grand plans can feel out of reach, causing a downward spiral that leaves us stuck in a rut.

When it comes to complementing our fitness routines with our diet, taking a different approach could be the way forward. Proactively weaving healthy nutritional practices around our workouts might be the best way to solidify habits so that they become woven into our training sessions. The trend of fine-tuning the small details to reach big heights is a buzzword known as 'micro-dosing'. It involves an attainable diet maintenance plan made up of micro rituals that put you in the driving seat of your fitness performance. 'Small daily changes are easier to make and stick to than a complete overhaul of your diet but, most importantly, they are less likely to compromise your fitness and performance,' explains nutritionist Caroline Hind.

Ingraining these mini steps into your daily diet will help to shape your goals into a reality, so it's time to shift your focus and devote your attention to microdose daily 'do's'. After all, when you can do the small things, the big things naturally follow.
