so i lost 70 pounds and when i tell people this they often right away want to know how do i do
that and how long did it take me and when they learned that it only took me five months to lose
70 pounds most of them think that i did something ridiculous unhealthy to lose the weight today i
want to share three tips that i use to lose 70 pounds in a healthy way hello Wellness Warriors
well together that's when we have that sense of well-being if this is something that you're
working on subscribe because i make new videos every week so i'm going to do these tips backwards
starting with number three eat when you're hungry it is really important for us to learn to eat
when we're hungry and follow our body and yet i understand that most of us work in jobs where
lunch time is a certain time and if you don't eat at that time you're risking not being able
to eat something so now we're trying to figure out how do we balance our health with a rule a
company has when i first started doing a healthier lifestyle i was in the fortunate lucky position
that my lunch time was determined by me what i figured out by eating when i was hungry was this
we have a tendency to schedule things in our head and say that's when i'm going to do it
and so if i schedule myself to eat out one every day i will set my schedule up that way and then i
will eat at one every day whether i'm hungry or not because it's lunch time and that's what i'm
supposed to do and so psychologically we start to feel hungry when one o'clock is approaching
but are we really hungry so the first thing that i realized is that
when i started to eat properly and i allowed myself to engage this idea which i was told
that we should eat when we're hungry i started to realize that the better i was eating the less
likely it was that i was hungry at breakfast but then i started to realize i wasn't hungry at lunch
the funny thing about eating when i'm hungry is that it actually put me in the position of eating
fewer meals so by only eating when i was hungry it allowed me to increase the time between meals
that's important because that means that i'm not rising my insulin with every meal
because every time you eat anything your insulin rises but if there's carbohydrates in that meal
it rises even more so i'm keeping the amount of insulin rises low the other
thing that it is because i only eat when i'm hungry and when i say eat i mean eat a meal
i eliminated my snacking there aren't any meals between meals because we want to keep our insulin
levels low or normal we should say i want to keep them normal the other thing that i get from only
eating when i'm hungry is that if i happen to get hungry at a moment that i'm not able to eat
there isn't a crisis and that's important for us to learn that i'm not going to have a crisis just
because i can't eat right now what happens is you feel hungry for a few moments for me
it lasted maybe a minute and then it seemed to go away and i'm sure you've all lived that story
where you feel hungry but you're busy at work or something's happening with the children or
for some reason you can't go eat and then next thing you know it's three hours later
and i haven't eaten anything because your body will tap in to the fat that's already on board
so by allowing myself to only eat when hungry i diminished the number of snacks i was having
because those got taken out of the story i went longer between meals and then if i happen to
be busy at the moment that i wanted to eat that first time i allowed my body to tap into the fat
that's on me so keeping in mind that i was still eating two meals a day for a good portion of time
before i went down to one meal a day the second important thing that i did that helped me to
lose weight in five months so 70 pounds five months was i stopped eating when i was satiated
we are programmed at least i know in my family we're programmed to eat
till we were full stuffed bursting because we had to finish that plate because of
those poor children in insert country that your parents used to say who didn't have food to eat
but the truth of the matter is me torturing myself me increasing my weight doesn't help those poor
children who don't have food by learning to stop eating when i'm no longer feeling hungry
i actually put myself in the position where i'm not giving my body excess
fat carbs and protein that it needs to manage if you over eat even if you overeat fat and protein
your body then has to store that energy away store those proteins away because you over ate
as few overeat you overeat you're gonna gain so by learning to stop eating when i'm satiated i
actually put myself in a position where my body didn't need to store and therefore again i was
able to lose the weight in a much more reasonable amount of time the number one thing that i did
to lose weight in five months was actually focusing on my health i did not start this process
to lose weight now luckily for me i did lose weight in reality i started this process because
i had a hip issue that i needed to solve and i learned that carbohydrates were causing my hip
issue now along the way of learning that carbohydrates were causing my hip issue i
also learned that carbohydrates help us to store fat but while i was trying to solve my hip issue
i was not focused on losing weight and as a matter of fact when my hip issue was solved i was still
overweight so the reason that i continued to keep my carbohydrates low had nothing to do with me
wanting to lose weight but everything to do with why i lost it you see i was so focused on making
sure that my hip issue did not return that i kept my carbohydrates at 20 grams of carbs or less
now in doing that my weight came down so being healthy helped me to lose the 70 pounds
but that wasn't my goal so the number one thing i actually did to lose the weight
was focused on being healthy and it all of it came together because once i understood
that eating 20 gr more than 20 grams of carbs in a day was causing my inflammation then figuring
out how do i make sure that i only eat 20 grams of carbs or less became a high priority because
i wanted my hip to feel good i wanted to be able to snowboard and ride my bike and longboard and
ski and all the fun things i do with my daughter go climbing tree climbing and all the things that
we do and in order to do that i learned that if i eat to satiation if i eat low glycemic vegetables
if i focus on getting my energy from fat instead of carbohydrate
and i only eat when i'm hungry so no snacking all that stuff my hip would stay better that motivated
me to adopt this new lifestyle and stay with it we are january 2021 and i've been doing this since
april of 2018. you can lose weight in a reasonable amount of time and keep it off
if you eat a healthy low carb diet so 20 grams of carbs or less eat satiation only eat when hungry
