Our newest program, the Holiday Hustle, is a nutrition kickstart that will take you through the end of the year, encouraging you to make healthier choices now, rather than waiting for the holidays to pass. At Achieve Nutrition and CrossFit Achieve, we believe that the best way to create lasting change is through gradual, sustainable shifts in habits.
That’s why we call our programs “kickstarts” instead of “challenges.” While a challenge implies something temporary and intense, our goal is to set you up for long-term success by guiding you through manageable changes that enhance your lifestyle—not just for a few weeks, but for the long haul.You don’t need to hit pause on your goals just because it’s a busy time of year. With our guidance, you’ll learn to balance enjoyment with moderation, building a foundation that will support your health and fitness well into the new year and beyond.
The Truth About Holiday Weight Gain
The holiday season is notorious for indulgent meals, festive gatherings, and plenty of opportunities to overeat. In fact, studies show that people tend to gain around 1 to 2 pounds during the holidays. While this may not seem like much, most individuals don’t lose this weight after the holidays, leading to gradual weight gain over time.
Starting early with a kickstart program like Holiday Hustle helps you avoid that common cycle. Instead of waiting for January to make drastic changes, you can begin building healthy habits now, making it easier to enjoy the holiday season without going overboard.
The Benefits of Starting Early
Making a commitment to your health during the holidays can be incredibly empowering. Here’s why starting now benefits you in the long run:
- Avoid the All-or-Nothing Trap
So many people fall into the mindset of “I’ll start after the holidays,” but that often leads to unchecked indulgence. By starting now, you embrace moderation instead of restriction. With the help of one of our coaches, you’ll learn how to enjoy holiday treats mindfully, without guilt or excess. - Build Momentum, Not Stress
Waiting until the New Year can create a sense of pressure to “get it right” from day one. By starting now, you’ll ease into healthy habits, allowing time to develop routines that work for you. By the time January rolls around, you’re already in the flow, while everyone else is just getting started. - Gain Confidence During the Hardest Time of Year
The holidays are known for their temptations—food-centric gatherings, travel, parties, and sweets around every corner. If you can navigate this season successfully, the rest of the year will feel like a breeze. - Create Sustainable Habits
Unlike short-lived challenges that leave you lost after they end, our kickstarts focus on the bigger picture—helping you build habits that you can carry with you long after - Be Proactive, Not Reactive: With holiday shopping, events, and family gatherings, finding time to work out and plan healthy meals can feel impossible. With our help, you’ll learn how to plan ahead and build confidence in decisions going forward.
This is where a coach makes all the difference. Instead of relying on willpower, you’ll have support and guidance to help you make decisions that align with your goals. At Achieve Nutrition, our kickstart approach includes strategies for moderation, mindset shifts, and scheduling that allow you to enjoy the holidays without derailing your progress.
