In today's day and age, we are all looking for the easiest way to lose weight and detox in our busy schedules. There are so many 'diets' to choose from that it can all be confusing and sometimes disappointing. Some of these weight loss programs are great in the beginning, you find your self shedding those pounds and looking fabulous in the mirror but then the second you skew off the program, the pounds come rushing back! Why is this?
Truthfully, not all weight loss programs are sustainable or effective long term. There are so many things to consider when embarking on a journey of weight loss. What is my diet like? How much exercise do I get? How nutrient dense is my food? Do I consume too much sugar? alcohol? do I smoke? How is my mental health? Do I have negative body image issues? All of these factors will determine whether or not your weight loss program will be effective long term and whether or not you're ready to start!
We have complied a list of tips for you to use in order to start your weight loss/detox journey. We hope you benefit from these not so secret secrets to true sustainable weight loss!
1) You need to have realistic and healthy weight loss targets, no more than 1kg a week!
2) Should be consuming food from ALL food groups, and not making very strict cuts in your diet (carbs, protein, fats)
3) Eat a rainbow of colourful fruit and vegetables. The phytochemicals founds in fruits and vegetables are detoxing and disease fighting!
4) Limit sugar, bad fats and processed ingredients. These can be detrimental to your health and cause weight gain. They keep your hungry hormones running wild in your body! Notice how junk food & processed food is not filling at all?
5) Focus on changing eating habits long term as opposed to temporarily. This will allow your body to get into it's healthiest state and increase weight loss!
6) Exercise more! Get that body moving!
7) Be in a healthy state of mind or start practicing self care. Limiting stress can have a positive effect on weight loss because stress increases cortisol in your body, which increases your appetite! Therefore, stress can make you over eat!
8) Embark on this journey with a friend or get some support from a professional. We are more likely to take part in a lifestyle change with the support of others rather than just ourselves!
9) And finally, support your weight loss journey with our Innate Slim Tea for detoxing and weight loss benefits <3
