Build Healthy Habits for Weight Loss: Change Your Environment to Make Healthy Habits Stick

5/31/2021

 
It's really important to think about what our environments doing to us we are building healthy lifestyle habits. Just recognizing that the things that are around us do impact us and impact our decision making. So you really want to make our environment conducive to our goals and build lasting habits.

Our environment around us plays a big factor in building our healthy lifestyle habits. This could affect our everyday decision making that’s why we need to make our environment conducive to our goals. This would help us build lasting habits.
Picture
Imagine yourself walking inside an abandoned, empty, old room. What would you do inside that room? Now, imagine walking inside a cozy living room with a couch, thick blanket, and beautiful decorations. Will you still do what you thought of on the first room? I’m pretty sure you imagined yourself doing different activities inside these rooms. Even if you’re the same person with the same energy level and emotional state when you walk in your actions would still be different. This is a clear example of how our environment affects our actions. Now our goal is to figure out how to make the environment more suited for our health and lifestyle goals.

There are a couple of different ways on how we can do it. I will discuss 4 ways that could help you build healthy habits for weight loss. Then, we will get to implementing it.

Finally, A Diet that Works for You Without Feeling Deprived

3/24/2021

 
There is so much confusion and restrictions out there when it comes to food and dieting.

There is a ton of noise and people walking around as experts  saying contradictory things. I mean if you combined all the diets out there, I don’t think you could eat or drink anything!

So if you are feeling confused about what to eat you should eat, keep reading to find out how to tailor an approach to you and to tackle issues with God.

The Gracious Health approach is all about individualization and tailoring to your life, to your body so this is not going to be a one sized fits all approach because one size fits all ends up leading to short term results.

Picture
A lot of the diets out there get popular because they work better for some people, but there is truly no magic diet out there that works for everyone that will lead to lasting results!

Let's let that sink in.

It is not you... it is the diet and approach.

How to Go From I Can't Stop Eating to Feeling Satisfied

2/23/2021

 
Picture
A lot of women I talk to share this sentiment, maybe you can relate?

“I just cannot stop eating…”

“I am always hungry. “

“I do good for a while, but then I just can’t stop eating.”

These thoughts are way top common and it is because all too often diets just tell you to eat lead.

The weight loss industry is leaving you high and dry. i mean think about it, if eating less and losing weight was that easy would there be that many different diets out there?

Why would so many people not be successful on a diet?

Prayers for Weight Loss to Help you Achieve Permanent Change

2/9/2021

 
All too often we try to make advancements in our health in our own strength, but that doesn’t lead to great results. When we do things in our own strength we tend to either fail or get prideful because we succeeded. We lose part of our soul when we do not include God in our journey and realize the hand He plays on our journey. We do not get the good fruit we were started out trying to get.

Picture
I get it, you hear “simple and easy” solutions lose weight that have nothing to do with God, but those programs have a huge failure rate. Those programs are not trying to make you healthy and give you freedom. A lot of times they are just trying to make money and keep you longing for more pushing the carrot out a little further for to keep their clients buying…

Looking Beyond the Diet To Lose Weight Intuitively

1/13/2021

 
There is a big problem with how people are told to approach dieting and weight loss. I mean look at the statistics, the BEST, most promising statistic I have seen is a 30% success rate. (This is with a really low bar of “success” too.)

If a teacher had 70% of students FAIL saying they have a “simple, easy and effective method,”  do you think they would have a job? OR at least be trained on how to teach a different method?

I really hope not…

I hope you are starting to understand that you are not the problem it is the method or the diet. Most typical approaches to weight loss do not work long-term for the MAJORITY of people. You are not the issue it is the method.

So often what people talk about is only a small glimpse of the bigger health picture. Our mindset of losing weight is too narrow just looking at what we eat and how much we move as if nothing else matters...

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Being Consistent to Lose Weight and Keep it Off

12/30/2020

 
Let’s be honest, losing weight and keeping it off takes a lot of consistency, but for so many people say that being consistent is the hardest part. It seems so simple and beneficial in our health, which leads us to getting ready hard on ourselves we are like most people and end up being inconsistent.

Why is it so difficult to do something that we know is beneficial?

I mean not even discussing weight loss, but consistency is typically what gets in the way of lasting change,  we can stick to it for a bit and then something happens.

Life gets crazy.

We get stressed.

We are going through a tough time.
Picture
Being consistent involves a lot more than just trying harder. It is a lot deeper than what most people talk about. Trust me, I read  up on what there people are saying often, they were not talking about what I am going to share with you.
