In this episode, Morgan and Chelsea talk about fad diets. A fad diet is something that is usually promoted and popular in social media, and is typically a way to have quick weight loss over a certain amount of time. For example, “Try this diet for 30 days and you will lose 15 pounds” They are quick fixes that are probably not sustainable in the long run.
The most popular fad diets right now are keto and the carnivore diet. Chelsea dives into why these are hard to sustain in the long run and how it’s extremely important to get the calories you need to fuel your body.
If you are ever wondering what your meals should consist of, try the plate method. A quarter of your plate should be some sort of protein source. The other quarter should be carbohydrates, or starchy vegetables, and then the remaining half would be vegetables. It is an easier way to create a meal rather than navigating Canada’s food guide.
If you are struggling with nutrition, work with someone who can support you and help you through that. At the same time, do your research, don’t settle for the first nutritionist that you find - find someone who is empathic and knowledgable that can help you along this journey to pursuing your excellence in nutrition.
If you have questions about nutrition get in touch with Chelsea on Instagram @chelsweinkauf Also, big shoutout to Morgan for hosting her first podcast at Blended Athletics, looking forward to more great content.

Coaches Corner Episode 17- "The Pain Teacher"
In today's episode of Coaches Corner, Morgan and Darryl further discuss Darryl's article on The Pain Teacher. We all have faced injuries at some point in our life, and let's face it, they suck. Taking time off is hard when you've been working your butt off trying to pursue your version of excellence, and now it feels like you've taken two steps in the wrong direction.
Sometimes an injury is inevitable, but sometimes our body (The Pain Teacher) is telling us to slow down and we ignore the signs and make things worse.
"I called it the great Pain Teacher for a reason, because it teaches you about yourself. So, as long as you don't run from it and you approach pain with a curious mindset and wanting to understand more about your body, I think you'll learn something about yourself."
If you haven't read the article yet, I highly suggest you give it a read before you jump into the podcast. But without further ado, we hope you enjoy the episode, and if you have any questions about pain, mindfulness or meditation talk to Darryl at Blended Athletics. He doesn't have social media, but you can find him most days in The Loft.

Coaches Corner Episode 16 - "Lets Talk About Habits!"
*** New Episode ***
In this episode of Coaches Corner, Morgan sits down with Dave and talks about habits. The objective of creating habits is to be able to make small changes to your day-to-day life, that will end up creating a lasting impact over a long period of time.
Individuals often think that habits develop overnight, and I’m sure in some cases they do, but statically they take between 18 - 254 days to develop. On average, it takes 66 days! The next question individuals face is, “when should you start a habit?” - and that depends based on the person! For example, Christmas is normally a difficult time to start a habit, whereas now would be a great time to start, as March break is ending - but again, it's entirely up to the individual.
Here are some key points from the episode:
• If you want to start your journey towards health and wellness start with water.
• If your attempt to create a habit fails, try again
• If you are going to start a new habit, start now! It is the perfect time.
There are two books that Dave recommends if you want to learn more about habits: Atomic Habits by James Clear and The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. If you really want to make some changes in your life, pick up one of these books!
