How You Can Develop Lasting Weight Loss

Being kind and caring to yourself is a better way to approach weight loss.

With that comes understanding and faith that you can accomplish your goal without stress.

Restrictive dieting is a thing of the past, a dinosaur. You now have a better way that works.

In this podcast, we'll take a good look at these topics...

No, it's not a big mistake

Life has become way too comfortable

Stop trying to enforce restrictive diets on yourself

Don't just eat foods labeled "healthy", "Good for you", or other similar wordings


Here are a number of helpful things for you to try

  1. Make sure there are no distractions. Pay attention to what you're eating. Try your best to make strong memories of your experience. This will help you feel satisfied for longer.

  2. To stop yourself from snacking a lot, try reminding yourself of what you ate for your last meal. Forgetting what you ate can cause you to overeat. Remembering what you ate and taking a few minutes to relive the experience can handle cravings. Try it, it works!

  3. Be aware of food labels and descriptions that give you a sense that you're depriving yourself. You can still find low-calorie meals that give you that warm feeling of indulgence. You'll be surprised how well this works.

  4. When you're eating, really focus on the flavors, textures, and appearance. Find anything that increases your enjoyment of your food so you feel satisfied.

  5. Avoid sweetened drinks like soda and even sweetened fruit juices. Even though they're high in calories, it won't seem satisfying. It'll make you overeat. Eating solid food is better when you're trying to lose weight.

  6. Before you start to eat your meal, really take note of what you're about to eat. Enjoy the anticipation of eating it. It'll help you feel more satisfied afterward.

  7. Never feel guilty about the occasional treat. Enjoy that sweet moment of pleasure.

Final thoughts

Don't become obsessive about trying to lose weight. It never works. It causes stress and releases the stress hormone that makes you eat more.

Focus on becoming healthy but without depriving yourself of nutrient-dense, good-quality food

Take it easy and be kind to yourself. Even if one day you completely go off the track, don't worry about it. Just tell yourself you'll do better tomorrow, and keep going.

Be grateful for yourself and your body. Love yourself no matter what.

Yes, we can all do better and improve ourselves. But do it from a place of kindness, patience, and love. You'll not only get better results, but you'll also be much happier.
 
There's nothing more important than loving who you are right now!
