Why the Holidays Are the Best Time to Seek Nutrition Coaching

Updated: Dec 4, 2024

Let’s talk about a mindset I see all the time: “I don’t need a nutrition coach right now, the holidays are coming up, and I’m just going to enjoy myself.” Sound familiar? It’s totally understandable to want to relax, but here’s the thing—you wouldn’t hire a tutor if you were already acing a class, right? You’d hire one when things start getting tricky. Well, the holidays are when a lot of us struggle the most with our nutrition and fitness goals. 


Think about it. There’s no shortage of holiday parties, family gatherings, and indulgent meals from October straight through January. It’s one of the toughest times to stay on track. That’s why, instead of stepping back and saying, “I’ll wait until the new year,” this is actually the best time to have support in your corner.

Avoid the Holiday Spiral 


The truth is, many people gain a few pounds over the holidays and then struggle to lose it once the season passes. What starts as “I’ll just enjoy a little” turns into “I’ll get back on track in January.” But the habits you create now are the ones that stick around long after the holidays are over. A coach can help you navigate this time in a way that allows you to enjoy all the festivities without completely losing sight of your goals. 


Enjoy the Holidays Without Guilt 


I’m not here to tell you to avoid Grandma’s pumpkin pie. Nutrition coaching isn’t about restriction; it’s about balance. We work together to figure out how you can have your cake (literally) and eat it too—while still making choices that keep you feeling good about your progress. 


Whether you’re trying to maintain your weight, get stronger, or just survive the holidays without feeling like you’ve taken ten steps back, a coach can provide the accountability and strategy you need. Think of it as having a guide through a maze of holiday temptations. 


Make Real, Sustainable Progress 


The biggest win here? You’re not waiting until January to get started. You’re building momentum now. By the time the new year rolls around, you’re ahead of the game while everyone else is just getting started. Plus, you’ve got the support to make sure your progress is sustainable—not just a quick fix. 


So instead of waiting for a “better time” to start focusing on your nutrition, why not make now the best time? Let’s face it: the time of year when it feels the hardest to stay on track is exactly when having a coach makes the biggest difference.
