Today we are going to talk about 4 facts about losing weight that your health coach wishes you knew. First of all, I know that the majority of women always have this thought bubble:
How do I lose weight without sacrificing my health?
Maybe you have tried them all. And maybe there were times that they seemed effective, and there were moments that showed otherwise. I very well can relate because I have been there. Well, it is never too late to learn what these things you have missed are, I promise!
4 FACTS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT THAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED:
1: Even nutritious food can make you gain weight!
You started to love this particular food. Be cautious though. Because it is healthy, it does not mean you can eat as much as you can. Cheese, nuts, and other choices are also high in calories. Certainly, you have to learn how you can control your intake so nutritious foods do not become a liability to your goal of losing weight.
2: Reaching your goal weight is not the end!
Remember that losing weight will not solve your underlying problems. Likewise, keep in mind that your end goal is to be happy in your skin and healthy in your body. This is the time to think about the heavier lifting, emotionally speaking. Hence, why not try to engage in activities that will allow you to enhance your life. The outcome is, you get results that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
4 FACTS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT THAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED:
3: You have to exercise too!
Obviously, as we age, our body becomes more susceptible to fatigue, burnout or other health issues. Nevertheless, don’t opt out of exercise while trying to lose weight. A healthy body should also include exercise. When you combine nutritious food with exercise, you help maintain your bone and cardiovascular health. Bones help protect our vital organs, and the heart supplies the oxygen and nutrients that we need. Furthermore, our heart removes carbon dioxide and other wastes from our body. Need I say more of the importance of taking care of them?
4: Sleep is the missing link in weight loss!
Sleep affects the body’s energy usage rate and hormone release. In fact, do you know that sleep deprivation may decrease the level of the hormone leptin, which defines the level of energy in our body? Similarly, it also increases the level of gherlin, known for stimulating our appetite. Now, the last thing we want to happen is to entertain our impulsive tendency to eat because we are hungry.
