How to start losing weight
Go back and listen to that again.
Yes—your body needs to be in a deficit to burn fat.
But that’s not the only way—and honestly, it’s probably not what your body needs right now.
If your body is in a stress state and your sex hormones are all over the place, I can guarantee you a deficit isn’t going to help.
It’s going to cause more harm, more stress, and more downregulation.
You want real results? Start listening to your body.
Every symptom, every sign, every reason why things aren’t working—that’s your body screaming what it needs.
And until you start responding to that, you’re not going to feel like yourself again. #weightlossprogress #hormonehealth #caloricdefict #momlife
When it comes to weight loss, many people instinctively jump into creating a caloric deficit, believing that less food means more fat burned. However, this approach can often backfire, leading to increased stress and hormone imbalances, which may hinder weight loss efforts. Understanding your body's signals is crucial. Symptoms of fatigue, mood swings, and cravings are indicators of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal fluctuations, or emotional stress rather than just a lack of food intake. To effectively lose weight, prioritize self-care, ensure you're providing your body with the necessary nutrients, and address stress management. Incorporating relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, yoga, or meditation can help regulate your hormones and improve your mental well-being. Also, engaging in moderate, enjoyable physical activities rather than intense workouts can lead to sustained health benefits without overwhelming your body. Listening to your body’s cues will help you make better choices and establish a healthier relationship with food and exercise. Remember, it’s not just about losing weight; it’s about creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that feels right for you.
I love this message cuz I felt like I was wrong for so long, even fought to lose 100lbs cuz my doctors kept saying the labs were normal and after all that I still felt terrible… after 2 years of pain and fatigue and still not being at goal weight finally made a to a rheumatologist who told me hey.. you have an autoimmune disorder and its gonna take several months of medication and maybe some trial of a few different ones before you feel better and the inflammation is under control…
