6 Habits for Sustainable Fat Loss

 
 
 

Most of my clients come to me at first thinking that losing weight will be hard.... Like really freakin hard.

Here’s the thing though — the science behind losing weight is remarkably simple. You have to eat less calories than your body burns.

It only seems hard when you’re putting more emphasis on the scale rather than your habit changes.

If you are becoming frustrated with your weight loss journey, it might help to shift your focus away from the scale, and more towards the changes that you are making to create a healthy lifestyle.

If you need somewhere to start, try these 6 habits to make weight loss feel easier:

1. Ditch drastic diets and quick fixes. Find something that leads to weight loss, but that is ALSO sustainable long term. Truthfully, it’s probably not counting points or eating fake diet food.

2. Eat protein with veggies at 80-90% of your meals. Get into the habit of eating nutritious foods and watch the weight EASILY fall off.

3. Move your body every single day. You can go for a walk, or workout, or stretch… But DO something.

4. Eat mindfully & intentionally. This means only eating when you feel physical hunger, versus eating when stressed or upset. It also means slowing down and focusing while you eat, as opposed to mindlessly chowing down.

5. Drink plenty of water. I recommend 0.5-1 ounce per pound of bodyweight.

6. Prioritize sleep! Without 7-9 hours of sleep each night, your body can’t regulate its hunger and fullness hormones… AKA weight loss becomes way harder if you can’t understand true hunger.
