5 Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle

How many times have you started a diet? How many times have you stopped because it didn’t work or you couldn’t stick with it?


Exercising and eating to get healthy isn’t a sprint, it’s a long-term commitment and it takes effort. Here are some ways I recommend you tackle your health journey.


1. Measure is knowledge

Start by understanding your current diet. I always say that measuring is knowledge and there’s nothing better than keeping a food diary for a week or two to learn more about your current eating habits. You can always use the one I created specifically for the 7 Week Health Start program.



2. Balance your plate

A balanced meal nourishes your body and supports your Pilates practice. Aim for:

  • Protein: Lean meat, fish, eggs, tofu or legumes for muscle recovery.

  • Healthy fats: Avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds to stay full.

  • High-fiber carbohydrates: Leafy greens, broccoli, quinoa or sweet potatoes for sustained energy.


Quick tip: Visualize your plate: half vegetables, a quarter protein, and a quarter healthy carbs.


3. Stay hydrated

Water is essential for energy, digestion, and recovery. Aim for 8-10 glasses a day, and more if you’re active. Add a pinch of sea salt to your water if you’re sweating profusely during exercise—it naturally replenishes electrolytes.


4. Celebrate progress, not perfection

It’s okay to indulge once in a while—balance is key. Focus on how good you feel while making healthier choices instead of obsessing over a “perfect” diet.


5. Working with a coach

It will increase your chances of success and help you persevere even when the going gets tough—you don’t have to struggle alone.


Healthy eating is a journey, not a sprint. It’s also harder said than done, especially if you want long-term change.


If you are looking for a long-term transformation, combine your new eating habits with your Pilates routine and you will find yourself more energetic, more focused, and with a stronger body in no time.


Below are some options available to you.
