I challenge you to

Stop making the excuses that are preventing you from achieving permanent weight loss. And I don’t mean to simply download the weight loss app that helps track calorie intake, or sign up for a pilates class at your local studio, or even opt for a surgical procedure

Why? Because those are simply tools to help achieve your end goal, but they aren’t the absolute solution.

The solution is much more complex than thatOur bodies, our lives, our level of activity, our diets–they’re all different. This is why approaching permanent weight loss has to come from personalized, science-based recommendations from a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician who knows you, your body, and your abilities

creating a healthier all-around lifestyle!

Know What You’re Eating❖ There’s a lot of misconceptions when it

comes to what’s healthy and what isn’t.

❖ Foods that are marketed and labeled as “healthy” and “diet-friendly” often contain ingredients that hinder our well-being! Be a label detective when purchasing groceries, and try to stick to whole foods that are typically found from the perimeter of your supermarket.

❖ Opt for cooking at home instead of dining out, as studies have found home-cooked meals are connected with lowering your risk of Type 2 diabetes,

❖ When you cook at home, portion size as well as high calorie ingredients, can be controlled.

Know Where You’re Eating

❖ Eating out can often lead to giant portions and lots of unnecessary calories, while eating a home-cooked meal can help control those issues.

❖ However, no matter what you’re eating, where you’re eating it can have a direct impact on your diet.

❖ A new study suggests that distracted eating is dangerous to our health

❖ Distractions during mealtime have been tied to developing obesity or of adopting poor eating habits.

❖ The study suggests that the distractions of your environment lead you to not pay attention to what and how much you’re eating, when you’re full, and why you’re eating in the first place!

Know Why You’re Eating❖ Most individuals don’t realize that biggest

obstacle lies not in the produce isle or on the treadmill, but within their own minds.

❖ Psychological well-being can have everything to do with why you can’t seem to shed those extra pounds. A myriad of experts believe that diet and exercise are simply not enough when it comes to finding a solution for permanent weight loss, as sustaining your goal weight also requires you to understand your individual relationship with food.

❖ Those who’ve struggled with weight loss and gain for most of their lives are often found to eat for a variety of emotional reasons; from boredom to anxiety, reward to relaxation, we often associate eating with emotions, and we don’t even realize it!
