The pen is as mighty as the runners when it comes to weight loss” by Lise Wearing
We all have our reasons for running! For most it probably is fitness and health, for some medals and glory ( Ha!) and for some, running is also a great way to maintain our ideal weight or loose a few pounds!
Here are 5 tips to help you achieve our best running weight goal:
1. The pen is as mighty as the runners:
a) Keep a food diary on alternate weeks( Science has shown that people who keep track of their food intake loose more weight than those who don’t)
b) Plan your meals and make a shopping list
c) Make a list of trade offs: on one side of the page list the less healthy foods, on the other side list what you are willing to trade off for: ex: chips and dip for raw veggies with salsa
2. Stop GRAZING! We are not ruminants! Study shows that when we eat 3x a day( +1 snack) we are less hungry than when we eat all day long!
3. The more color on your plate the less calories!~ Color= low cal Browns and whites=higher calories
4. Slow down when you eat: be MINDFUL, chew well, no distraction
5. Negative emotions have a lot of calories! When you find yourself going back to the cupboard or fridge many times in the evening after a good dinner you may be using eating as a way to process a negative emotion that made its way into your day! You need to recognize the emotion and deal with it and choose another option besides food!
Sometimes you need a professional to help you get started! The other day my husband and I hired a gardener to help us with a garden project! Just to have her work with us and give us advice, we felt energized and confident about completing our project! It gave us the momentum to get going!
It is the same with Liseonlife holistic nutrition and wellness service! Sometimes we need a few hours of help to get questions answered, get us back on track or give us the momentum we need to make important changes in our physical or emotional habits!
