Hi!
I'm Brittany Brown, founder of BeatingBingeEating.com and FitlifeTV ambassador.
Today, we're going to be talking all about losing weight without trying, a.k.a making
your healthy choices so second nature that you don't have to ever think about weight
loss or weight [inaudible] again.
So if you're goal is getting your body and weight to a healthy place where you feel energized
and alive, then these principles are going to help you.
So number one, you wanna choose foods that make you feel good.
Instead of thinking about what you can't have, think about what you can add in that's gonna
make you feel good and come alive and feel energized and full of mental clarity.
Typically those foods end up being very health-giving and nutrient-dense.
Therefore, your weight will just kinda take care of itself in the process as you start
crowding out the unfavorable foods with the foods that will really make you feel good.
Number two, when you can, eat nourishing, high quality foods.
Not every day is gonna be perfect.
There'll be moments when you're travelling, there'll be moments when you forget to take
food, there'll be moments when you don't have that many great options.
So you wanna make sure on the moments that you do and the moments that you can control
to the best of your ability, that you wanna really nourish your body, and get as many
high quality nutrient-dense foods as you can.
So breakfast is a great time for this.
You can do your grocery shopping, you can make a smoothie or make a meal that really
makes you feel great in the morning and this sets the tone for the entire day.
So do what you can in these moments that are really easy and available for you to get as
much high quality goodness that is possibly can.
Number three is to think about balance.
So like I said earlier, not every moment's going to be perfect.
There might be some times where you just want to have a hamburger with the bun and you want
to enjoy it.
So here's the thing, go ahead and balance it out.
Our body is like a bank account.
You can't just withdraw, withdraw, withdraw without making any deposits.
So deposits are things like nourishing foods, foods that make you feel good, self-care,
moving your body.
Make sure you're putting in a bunch of deposits to balance everything out and this is not
in a restrictive way or not in a way to make up for calories consumed.
This is just in a way to make sure you're taking care of yourself and giving your body
what it needs.
Number four is to enjoy the food no matter how it's labeled.
So you didn't get the hamburger.
Go ahead and enjoy it.
Eat slow and be present.
As you slow down, you become really, really present to what your body needs.
You're gonna start getting cues of when to stop eating, when to eat, what time to eat,
and things like that.
You don't necessarily need a meal plan.
You just need to slow down, get present, give your body a chance to get full instead of
just scarfing down the whole meal on your plate and really reconnect to those internal
guidance systems.
They will not steer you wrong.
Number five is to get the essentials in.
I won't go into water and movement and sleep too much in this video but just know that
water, adequate sleep, and moving your body daily are absolutely imperative for weight
loss, weight [inaudible], health, and vitality.
And last but not the least, fill your life up with other stuff besides food.
Food, diets - it's just such a focus on that area and sometimes it makes you tends to eat
more.
So what can you fill up your life with and go out and live your life without food and
dieting and working on all these things just taking over your entire way of being.
Who can you connect with?
What fun things can you do?
What adventures can you have?
What business or idea can you bring to life?
What can you create?
Fill your life up and food and your weight will just take care of itself in the process.
Weight loss doesn't have to be so hard.
The old paradigm if it's completely shifting you don't have to force your body into submission,
you don't have to beat yourself up to get there.
You just have to give your body what it needs to get to a healthy and happy place, and nurture,
and take care of yourself, and listen to your body in the process.
So follow these principles and let us know how they work for you.
Thank you so much for watching the video.
I hope it helps and I hope you also have a wonderful day.
