The road to weight loss can feel lonely. Especially when a quick internet search can bring up an endless supply of diets, meal plans, and supplements all aimed at weight loss, it can feel overwhelming.
So, what are the best ways to lose weight in Idaho?
Diet
Diet has a tremendous impact on weight loss. When we feed our body with fresh, healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins we are more prone to creating a calorie deficit which will help us on our weight loss journey. Cutting out foods that are processed, sugary, or labeled as “diet”, is also an important factor when it comes to weight loss success. With all of the fad diets that have gained popularity in recent years, it is important that we actually reframe our relationship and how we use food.
Movement
According to the American Heart Association, adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate to intense aerobic activity each week and no, you don’t need gym equipment! A brisk walk, gardening, and even having a dance party count as a moderate aerobic activity. Make it fun!
Manage Stress
Stress has a major impact on our body especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight. Stress causes a pesky hormone called cortisol to kick in which can be helpful if we need to quickly run away from a saber tooth tiger but not something, we want on overdrive every day. You see, cortisol slows down the metabolism and causes us to crave fatty, sugary foods which the body can quickly use as an energy source. Because we are craving unhealthy foods, we tend to reach for easy or fast foods which can provide us with that temporary relief from the feelings of stress. So how do we break the cycle of stress and food? The team at Empower can help you to incorporate stress relief strategies that you can use in everyday life.
