5 Habits for Long Term Weight Loss

Try Holistic Based Weight Loss practices to slim down and keep it off. It is very important to focus on proper nutrition and exercise, not just one or the other. And one of the secrets to keeping that weight off is establishing sustainable lifestyle changes that you can stick with– and that includes things beyond what you eat and how you move.

In some cases, the failure or success of your weight loss program depends more on your daily habits than on just the food choices you make.

The things you do as part of your daily lifestyle habits can impact how much food you eat, how much you move throughout the day, your stress levels, your water intake, and your sleep habits.  These 5 holistic based weight loss practices are activities that are simple to incorporate into your daily schedule. Pick one and attempt to practice it this week. If it goes well, pick another one. Try mastering one skill at a time, so you don’t get overwhelmed.

The 5 Holistic Medicine Weight Loss Habits:

1. Watch What You Drink:

Start keeping track of the calories in the drinks that you take in. There are specific drinks, in particular, that can have a big impact on your total caloric intake and on the kind of food choices that you make every day. For example, juices, sports drinks, sweetened teas, sodas, kombucha, and flavored coffee drinks are often packed with sugars and  excess calories. In some cases, these drinks boast that they are healthy due to the fact that they provide vitamins; however, they also offer a lot of unusable ‘fat making’ calories. Your best choice is to drink water.  You can even make flavored water in the house to replace your high-calorie sodas and sweetened teas.

2. Better Sleep:

Believe it or not, the quality of your sleep impacts the food choices you make during the day. It can also affect the variety of calories you consume from soda or coffee drinks. Use very simple tips to sleep better so that you get a full night’s rest and wake up energized and ready to take on your daily activities.

For instance, do not charge your phone beside your bed. Keep it in another area of the house when you sleep. And try to maintain a routine sleep schedule– even on the weekends. This assists your body to learn to sleep and wake with less effort. And finally, lower the temperature in your bedroom at night. A cooler room might help you snooze better..

3. Build a Well Balanced Exercise Program:

If you are drinking plenty of purified water on the daily and have your sleep hygiene on task, the next item on the checklist is to work on increasing your physical activity. You can start by creating a well-rounded exercise routine with different kinds of physical activities. Holistic doctors are huge advocates and great coaches when it comes to helping people make lifestyle changes for long term weight loss.  They can provide you a plethora of information about how to build a body that is strong, lean, and flexible.

If you do not belong to any fitness center or need help finding exercise classes, consider using an enjoyable and easy online exercise to get the activity you need. You can also look into other activities like cycling, trail riding, tennis, hiking, water sports, or ballroom or hip hop dancing, for example.

But keep in mind that consistency is key. If you find yourself avoiding sessions, your program may be too extreme. It’s much healthier and safer to do moderate or an easy workout regularly than it is to do extremely hard exercises once in a while.

4. Increase Non-Exercise Based Physical Activity:

Your day-to-day workout is really crucial. However, if you go to the gym for an hour and spend the rest of the day laying on the couch or sitting in a chair, you are probably doing more harm than good for your body. Find out how to increase your everyday activity level so that you burn more calories with NEAT- Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis.

One way to ensure you are getting adequate daily activities is to invest in a physical fitness tracker. These devices track your day-to-day actions, and many of them give you reminders to get up & move when you’ve been sitting too long.

5. Set Up Daily Reminders:

Surround yourself with helpful people and healthy reminders that will assist you to keep your plan on track. You can do this by connecting with individuals who eat well and work out at the office or in your neighborhood. Cook healthy meals together or set updates to exercise.

You can also subscribe to healthy messages online and in social media. Researchers have found that daily tips can have a big influence on weight loss success.
