Weight loss advice is so common (and contentious) now. There are competing opinions everywhere.
I say, forget about "who's right" and let's focus on "what's right." Because what gets results is what I'm focusing on in this post.
I respect my clients too much to make empty promises and try to sell you on something that doesn’t work.
There are too many weight loss myths out there. I’m going to tackle the top ones I come across in my practice.
Multivitamins are exactly what they sound like: multiple vitamins. They're supplements that contain several different vitamins in each one. They can also contain several minerals and other ingredients like amino acids or fatty acids. And because there are multiple ingredients, there are low doses of each ingredient.
In fact, they are the most commonly used supplements in the world!
There are 13 vitamins and at least 16 minerals that are essential to health. You need certain amounts of all of these nutrients for optimal health. In fact, nutrient deficiencies can impact reproduction, growth, and regulation of bodily processes.
Imagine you can choose between two snacks. Both are crunchy and tasty. One of them will make you stronger, happier and fuel your brain power. The other will make you weaker, slower and may reduce your immunity.
Which Snack Would You Choose?
Store-bought and packaged snacks, chips, crisps, cookies, chocolate bars and candy are snacks that sap your power despite our thinking they boost energy with a “sugar high”. It can be hard not to choose them. They are fun, and hit the taste sensors! But they are often full of sugar and chemicals that cause havoc in your body and destroy your health.
The good news is that snacks can be fun and tasty, while still being healthy. Even better, they are full of vitamins and other great things you need for a strong body and mind that ages gracefully.
Weight Loss visualization helps create a subtle shift inside of your body. Sometimes this shift is craving healthy foods or wanting to eat less. But more often than not, this technique will help make your body slowly adjust to what you're visualizing in a more organic way, not forced. It can be applied to many other things aside from weight loss but today I want to teach you how to use it specifically FOR weight loss.
I’m going to give you an amazing visualization technique that you can use each and every day (several times a day!) to start your weight loss journey using your mind, body and soul. Please keep in mind, it won’t occur right away, so don’t expect to shed 50 pounds in a month. Instead, this technique is meant to help you continuously lose gradual weight so you don’t hinder your weight loss journey.
