Losing weight can be a challenging process for many people. Despite following strict diets and exercise routines, some individuals may struggle to shed those extra pounds. You may be struggling to lose weight because you are:
Eating Less but Not Picking Nutritious Foods
It’s not just about cutting calories. You also have to change the type of foods you consume. Focus on the quality of the calories. Foods high in fiber and nutrients will assist in satiety, causing you to eat less naturally.
Not Looking at the Whole Picture
We tend to view weight loss as a short-term issue, but it is a long-term journey. Patience and consistency are imperative to your weight loss success.
Eating Too Many Healthy Fats
Even good fats have calories and will add up quickly! Refer to your Guidebook for your prescribed portion sizes. The Red Mountain Food Trackers or an app like MyFitnessPal™ can help you assess the amount of healthy fats you consume daily.
Distracted When You Eat
When you eat in front of the TV or scroll on your phone, it can lead you to miss signals from your body on when you are full. It’s best to avoid this practice and eat your meals at the table rather than in front of a screen.
