Weight loss Tips!
These re some tips that helped me (and gave me results) when I was working out multiple times a week and watching what I ate. But then I started slacking because I got into a relationship and gained “happy weight”.
Most of these things have stuck with me, such as the protein and hydrating part. But when I was actively working out, counting calories and watching what I eat, I learned a lot of things.
1. CARBS- it took me a while to realize that not all carbs are bad and it’s okay to eat them. When i first started working out I would try to AVOID carbs at all costs. I would be working out intensely for 1 hour and a half and I would refuse to eat a bun with my brat after packing in protein and healthy meals all day. I’ve had coworkers on Keto diets telling me that I shouldn’t eat carbs, but really carbs are converted into energy. I’m not saying go eat some fried chicken or eat carbs all day long, but carbs are in fruits, veggies, etc and that’s totally okay.
2. WATER WEIGHT- this plays a big part in weight loss and results. Even if you are working out multiple times a day for hours, water weight may make it seem like you aren’t making progress but you are.
3. CONSISTENCY- this is key. It may take a while to see results, but with finding what works for you, building muscle mass and water retention, it takes a while to actually SEE the progress. Just keep it up and wait until the results start showing, because it will be worth it ❤️

Weight loss can often feel challenging, especially when trying new methods to shed pounds. One common misconception is that all carbs are bad; however, complex carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables are essential for energy. Maintaining hydration is key, as water retention can mask weight loss progress. Alongside hydration, counting calories and balancing nutrient intake enables a healthier approach to dieting. In addition, incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training can boost your metabolism and enhance calorie burning. Proper sleep and stress management are also crucial, as they directly affect hunger hormones and overall well-being. Ensuring you’re eating enough protein helps with satiety, and tracking your diet can provide insight into your eating habits, aiding the weight loss process. Remember, establishing a sustainable and enjoyable routine is more beneficial for long-term weight management than quick fixes or extreme diets. Consistency with your habits will yield the best results over time. Stay patient and positive on your weight loss journey!
