Here are some 7 easy habits that you can start doing today to improve your health and overall well-being, feel your best, and off course, lose weight.
- Prioritize protein at each meal. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. Including high quality protein sources (e.g. lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, nuts, and seeds) can help keep you fuller for longer. For variety, you can also incorporate plant-based protein alternatives such as tofu or tempeh into your meals.
- Stay hydrated throughout the day with plenty of water and electrolytes. Drinking enough water can help boost your energy levels, aid in digestion, and suppress your appetite which can help with weight loss. You can also include hydrating foods in your diet, such as fruits and vegetables with high water content like watermelon and cucumber.
- Eat three balanced meals instead of having many small meals and snacks throughout the day. This will help regulate your appetite and prevent you from overeating. Make sure that each meal includes essential macronutrients such fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
- Move your body every day. Try to incorporate a variety of activities such as weightlifting, running, walking, and biking to keep things interesting and challenging. Additionally, throw in activities that promote flexibility and balance, such as yoga or pilates.
- Prioritize your sleep each night to help support your body's natural healing and repair process. A poor sleep schedule can negatively affect your metabolism and reduce insulin sensitivity, both of which will hinder your weight loss progress. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night and establish a relaxing bedtime routine to help you wind down and prepare for sleep. This can include activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing meditation exercises.
- Practice gratitude and mindfulness to help reduce your stress and anxiety. For example, take a moment each day to reflect on three things you are grateful for and practice deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation.
- Finally, try to limit stress in your life by practicing stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Reducing stress can help improve your mood, boost your immune system, and lower your risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, consider incorporating activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as spending time in nature, listening to music, or engaging in hobbies.
