15+ Quick Healthy Tips to Lose Weight and Gain Energy

Ladies, I have a little secret for you. Diets don’t work. When you go on a diet, you’re on a mission. You follow tips to lose weight like cutting out carbs, ice cream and soda. Perhaps you start drinking diet soda, protein bars or just eat salads at every meal.

As soon as you lose your ideal weight, your diet is over and you have never changed your eating habits. Then the weight slowly comes back, and many actually gain a few additional pounds.

Carbs are not all created equal. Diet Soda doesn’t help you lose weight, it actually makes you more hungry and you start to crave the bad carbs.

We carry weight around for a multitude of reasons. Perhaps you’re under a lot of stress, feel anxious, or have feelings about yourself and your relationship with food.

The answer isn’t in restriction but in creating a healthy new lifestyle.

By adding in the good stuff like fresh veggies, fruit and whole grains you will eventually crowd out all of the bad stuff. Slowly your taste buds will change and someday you might crave kale like I do 🙂

15+ Quick Healthy Tips to Lose Weight and Gain Energy:

Detox Your Body

• Eliminate all processed foods from your diet. If you must purchase something in a package, read labels. Avoid items you can’t pronounce, they are chemicals and are not good for you. Quick tip: only purchase the item if there are less than 5 ingredients listed on the label.

• Eat tons of dark leafy greens! The darker the better so Kale, Spinach and Swiss Chard. Try to eat greens at every meal. A green smoothie for breakfast, try this recipe, a salad for lunch, kale chips for a snack and saute greens for dinner.

• Drink tons of water! The more water you drink the more hydrated your body is and you will have more energy

Balance Your Blood Sugar Level

• Sugar is not your friend. I love sugary treats as much as anyone, but I treat sugar as a treat and only eat it once and a while. When I do consume sugar it is all natural sugars like honey or maple syrup. All artificial sugars lead to more sugar and white carb cravings which certainly doesn’t help you lose weight.

• Eat tons of dark, leafy greens! Again the more greens you consume the more in balance your body will be.

Exercise

• Move your body every single day, go for walks, take a yoga or spinning class. Just get your body moving!

• Find the time of day that works the best for your body. I am not an early morning person but I have more energy at the gym if I get out of bed just one hour earlier. The rest of the day I am more alert and more productive.

• Find an exercise buddy to join you at the gym, a hike or yoga class.

• Find something that you look forward to. I personally dislike the gym, I go but I love yoga and I look forward to my class and go as often as I possibly can.

Add in Fruits & Veggies

Katie B’s Quick Health Coaching Tips to Lose Weight:

• Try to shop at farmer’s markets this summer! Eating in season is one easy way to gain energy from these fresh and nutrient dense foods. When you are at the grocery store only shop the perimeter of the store, and try to avoid the last minute items you throw into your shopping cart when you are waiting in line at the register

• Schedule exercise time, put it on your calendar so you don’t skip it. Better yet, find a friend or have your partner meet you at the gym or at your favorite class. Listen to your favorite music, this will help you get pumped and ready to run on the treadmill.

• Remember to love your body and tell yourself every day how much you appreciate and love you. We are always our own worst critic, so today let us all start embracing every thing about ourselves.
