what are your non-negotiables?

The key to long term weight loss success is honoring your non-negotiables.  My first question to you as a client seeking weight loss or health transformation is what are you not willing to give up?  Be honest.  What is it?
 
You will learn to lose weight with these 1-2 non-negotiables in place.  Sustainability has to be accounted for from the beginning so you can develop a thin-self lifestyle you can live with forever.  The benefit of having clear non-negotiable foods is it adds value to your program from a nutritional and mindset perspective.
 
From a lot of experience, I can guarantee that there is a way to lose weight for you even with your non-negotiable.  
 
Optimized weight loss which includes your 1-2 non-negotiables:
 
1. Promotes Sustainability - Including foods you love is the beginning of creating a thin long term style of eating.
 
2. Reduces Feelings of Deprivation - One thing we work really hard to do is to support weight loss without deprivation. Extra effort goes into taste, variety, and flavor because this is your new long-term way of eating. Banning your favorite foods, feeling restricted with no balance for your cravings usually results in going off the rails; therefore, your favorite foods. 
 
3. Creating a new relationship with food is at the center of permanently creating a new health status - Weight loss diets can sometimes create a mindset of "good" and "bad" foods, leading to guilt when eating something deemed unhealthy. Including non-negotiable foods helps normalize all food choices within moderation.  Mastery over food is the aim; not feeling judged by your food choices.
 
4. It allows you to enjoy things you love without feeling off track - When I began weight loss, homemade Friday pizza night was a non-negotiable. Experiencing it without feeling “off-track” kept me on track for the next meal. This puts you in a space of staying consistent and developing positive habits. 
 
The goal of Optimization day with jolie Weight Loss is to practice moderation - this is further practiced in Incorporating intentionally and wisely  non-negotiable foods -  crucial for long-term success.
