When it comes to living a healthy life, Robert J. Winn recognizes the important role that fitness and nutrition play. Fitness and nutrition often go hand-in-hand, which is something that Winn has experienced on a personal level.
HEALTHY HABITS
Robert J. Winn’s transformation
In 2014, Robert J. Winn weighed 282 pounds, had trouble climbing a flight of stairs, and no longer fit into some of his clothes. That year he recognized that it was time to change his diet and start exercising, both for his health and so that his fitness advice to patients would carry greater weight.
With the help of a local gym called Unite Fitness, Robert J. Winn was able to lose 50 pounds in the span of six months. Throughout those initial months, Winn posted about his journey on social media. His friends, family, and even patients encouraged him to keep working hard the entire time. As a result of his transformation, patients recognized that they, too, could transform their lives by adopting healthier habits.
Regular exercise, healthy food, and a positive attitude are important keys to leading a healthy life.
Nutrition played a crucial role in Robert J. Winn’s initial transformation challenge. Due to his education and work as a physician, Robert J. was familiar with the fundamentals of nutrition. Still, as a busy professional with few minutes to spare, he fell victim to an excuse that many people are guilty of: “I don’t have time to cook healthy meals.” Yet after just seven days of adopting healthier food habits, Winn felt his energy levels rise and his mood improve. Soon Winn made it a priority to shop for healthy food on the weekend. By taking the time to plan out and prepare the upcoming week’s meals, he had fewer excuses to eat poorly during the week. Today he still practices this strategy, and it helps him stick to a nutritious diet.
HEALTHY COOKING
Focusing on nutrition has given Robert J. Winn an opportunity to sharpen his culinary skills. Today he enjoys finding and cooking new recipes that are not only healthy but delicious as well. When it comes to learning how to prepare inexpensive, nutritious meals, the internet is the best resource around. Some people are hesitant to abandon their poor food choices because they believe that healthy food is boring or unappealing. However, Winn would argue that the opposite is true. Plus, the health benefits of eating nutritious food are so significant that they cannot be overlooked.
