Quick Weight Loss vs. Optimal Health, Part 2
Quick weight loss implies that it's something that probably won't last! Health should be stressed before weight loss and beauty! It does you no good to look great if your body is a total wreck and unhealthy!
Optimal health involves making lifestyle changes to improve your:
1. health
2. fitness
3. energy levels
4. quality of life
We are living longer on this earth so quality of life is important!
The "quick weight loss lifestyle" is narrow minded when you compare it to the "optimal health lifestyle!"
Quick weight loss leads to slowed metabolism, a weaker immune system, hormonal imbalances, loss of lean mass, increased body fat, decreased energy levels, disrupted sleep patterns, short-term results and yo-yo dieting!
I'll take the optimal health option any day over quick weight loss!
So, here are some tips to help you achieve your best health and fitness:
1. Make a commitment TODAY to a lifestyle of health and fitness! Without this commitment, you will eventually go back to short-term solutions like quick weight loss!
2. Make the needed changes to your eating habits! Severely limit foods like sugars, processed foods, fast foods, fat-filled packaged foods, etc. Eat more foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Get help with your meal plan if needed! Get your nutrition mainly from food! Add in supplements like multivitamins and fish oil to support your meal plan and improve your health.
3. Commit to regular exercise and an active lifestyle! Walk as much as you can everyday!
4. Get enough rest! If you don't sleep enough, your body won't function as well as it could--that means about 7-8 hours of sleep every night for most people.
5. Schedule that doctor's appointment to see where your health stands! High blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. can be controlled, if needed.
