Have you heard of the latest craze for weight loss? Every year we can’t help but notice the new headlines for a new improved way to lose weight. The sad part is look around do we see our society losing weight or gaining weight.
Gulp!
Here is the only way to lose weight and keep it off!
Visit a Registered Nutritionist or Dietitian who can set you up on a healthy eating program that suits your needs. A professional will assist with a healthy eating plan that you can use every day of your life and takes into account your preferences to your cooking skills and family time demands.
A healthy weight loss means not skipping meals, consuming foods that are mainly unprocessed and are of high nutrient value, provides enough calories for your daily needs and includes in some time of physical activity that you enjoy.
Losing weight in a hurry “never” works in the long run. Healthy eating and a balanced weight only come from an overall lifestyle change that fits you. It is nice to know that your friend starved themselves and lost 20lbs but chances are your friend will gain back the weight, and usually more.
We eat for so many reasons and often eat when we are not hungry. Stop and read this sentence several times before you think that going for surgery to suppress appetite will help or that the latest pill will make you stop over-eating.
I have personally seen many people go for surgeries and in less than a year be back at their original weight unless they learn a lifestyle approach to healthy eating and activity.
Do you swear that you can’t lose weight no matter how healthy your diet is and how active you are. Sometimes if we have messed with our metabolism by going on to many low calorie diets or done the same lifestyle activity for too long our bodies metabolism slows. Try lifting weights at least 3 times a week. Weights help to increase muscle mass and muscle mass burns 3 to 4 times more calories.
Be patient and kind to your body and throw away your scale at home. Weighing yourself means nothing but feeling good and losing inches tells way more than any number on a scale.
We are what we eat if we ‘bravely’ admit it.
