Hey Auburn / Opelika fitness enthusiasts!
It’s summertime, and many of us have a few extra pounds we’d love to shed. If you’re feeling less than 100% confident about your body this season, you’re not alone. But before diving into extreme diets or questionable supplements, consider a simpler, more sustainable approach to weight loss.
A Simple Question for Effective Weight Loss
Before you remove entire food groups from your diet, start intermittent fasting, do a juice cleanse, or load up on sketchy supplements, ask yourself this honest question:
“Have I ever gone 7 consecutive days without eating junk food, while focusing on my calories & eating more protein, fiber, and water?”
If your answer is no, then that’s usually the best place to start. This straightforward strategy works well for most people and sets a solid foundation for healthy weight loss.
Focus on the Basics:
- Calories: Pay attention to your calorie intake to ensure you’re not consuming more than you burn.
- Protein: Increase your protein intake to help build muscle and keep you feeling full longer.
- Fiber: Eating more fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains aids digestion and helps keep you satiated.
- Water: Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health and can help control hunger.
By committing to these simple changes for just one week, you might find that you don’t need to resort to extreme measures to see results. It’s all about consistency and making sustainable changes to your diet.
Keep moving… Stay moving… Stay healthy!
