Are you looking to shed some extra pounds and lead a healthier lifestyle? Weight loss can be challenging, but with the right approach and mindset, you can achieve your fitness goals. Here's a a few tips from our National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Jenn Stover
Find your “WHY” for losing weight. Knowing why you want to do something helps to keep you motivated and connected to your goal.
Practice mindful eating. Slow down, chew slowly and savor your food. It takes the brain 20 minutes to register what you’ve eaten, so try to make your meal last 20 minutes.
Pay attention to your hunger level and only eat when truly hungry, but don’t wait until you’re hangry. If you wait too long you’re more likely to overeat, because when we’re ravenous it’s hard to control the pace of eating.
Avoid Alcohol, it’s easy to consume a lot of extra empty calories (in the both the alcohol and the associated "bar food"), try substituting with nonalcoholic beverages.
Plan ahead for the week, this means meal prepping/planning. A little forethought can go along way to ensure healthy choices during the week.
