Page 18 - The Skinny On Your Diet Plan

Limiting factors include:

• Genetics and epigenetics, both of which affect our ability to lose

weight, gain weight and avoid chronic disease; however, genetics don’t

always express themselves, which is where epigenetics comes in.
Factors such as nutrition, stress and environment can strongly affect
your genetic expression. Many health professionals have set variations

of the following quote, “your genetics load the gun, your lifestyle pulls

the trigger”.

• A second limiting factor is exercise. If you aren’t currently exercising,
the way your body utilizes nutrients and your metabolism will differ

from someone who is fit and active.

• Physiology. Do you have a hormonal or metabolic disorder or
condition? Then you have a physiological limiting factor. This means it

may be in your best interest to have me collaborate with your health care
provider so we can work as a team.

• Mindset. Have you ever been a “negative Nancy or bad mood Bill?

This can affect your ability to turn the “know what” into the “know
how” during the week. This is where your coach come in handy. Call me

up and I’ll center you again. Namaste….

• The fifth limiting factor is environment. People in your life and
people part of your support team as well as your daily actions and

routines can affect your overall success in reaching your goal. This can
appear as peer pressure or lack of support or, I guess, lack of the right

support.
