I would never try to tell anyone who has found a healthy living regimen that they are doing it wrong. There are (what feels like) a million ways to approach healthy living and a healthy weight range and I hope you have found one that works for you.
Personally, I have tried many different approaches over the years and have had varied levels of success.
But what I know now more than ever, is that it doesn’t have to be complicated.
According to the leading medical experts, all the years of medical research ultimately point to one fact, that when we elevate insulin, we cannot burn stored fat. The hormone insulin is secreted in response to elevated blood sugar when we eat. Certain foods trigger higher amounts of insulin than others. Processed sugar and flour are the biggest culprits.
Many artificial sweeteners elevate insulin even though they have no calories (diet soda or artificially sweetened beverages, e.g.).
With just a few critical pieces of information, I feel like now I know exactly what I need to know to maintain a healthy weight range.
Specifics that include:
🌷I need to give my body and my insulin more of a rest between meals.
🌷 I need to be mindful of how late I am eating and how early I begin my day with eating (breaking my overnight fast).
🌷 I need to eliminate processed foods so that I can reconnect with true hunger signals and allow my body to rebalance the natural hormonal regulation my body is designed for.
Knowing WHAT to do really doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming, it’s actually very simple. The rest is up to me and HOW I do it.
And what’s even better, is that I’ve found a methodology that focuses on simple steps I need to take to follow the expert advice, without confusion. One that considers mindset and not just actions.
Because information without action is not useful, and no amount of information is going to work unless I do.
Message me if you would like to learn about this methodology and how it can simplify things for you, too!
