Giving up the dieting mentality is work but not impossible. That's if you want to, I'm guessing you probably do.
Don't be afraid to kindly decline a seat on the diet train. Say bye and never look back. Move in
the direction of a sane and nonrestrictive approach.
Nothing wrong with wanting to change your body with fitness and nutrition and might I add liking your body while doing so.
The problem is putting yourself through the endless wringer of diets. The way you are going about losing weight is
the issue.
Go about it in a smart way, a healthy way, a sustainable way.
Do these things instead of yo-yo dieting:
1. Get your nutrition in check. Create a small deficit, don't starve
yourself, and don't be duped by the shiny new diet promising "X" results with long term consequences.
** Prioritize protein first and foremost. This is a good place to start. You'd be surprised by how little you're actually eating when you think you are eating adequate protein. #EatYoPRoteins
3.
Lift The Things - muscle equals metabolism. Aim for compound movements with rep ranges ranging from 8-12 reps. Lifting the things will help you get stronger, build muscle and drop body fat, keep your bones strong, and hep you maintain your muscle during a caloric deficit - plus much much more. #LiftTheThings
4. Ditch the scale - the scale doesn't tell the whole story. It tells you
nothing about how much fat or muscle you have. #DitchTheScle
If the scale is causing you any grief and you can't look at it objectively - ditch it. It's only one ☝🏾 measly measurement of progress.
There are so many other ways to track your progress. Clothes, pictures, measurements,
strength, moving better, feeling better, health markers improving, going off of a medicine, to name just a few!
Do these things consistently, and you will have long term success. You can say bye to yo-yo dieting! It will take time, patience, and consistency. It's so worth it!
