How to achieve a sustainable healthy weight?
Are you tired of fad diets that promise quick results but leave you feeling unsatisfied and deprived? If so, it’s time to ditch the restrictive mindset and adopt a new approach to achieving a sustainable healthy weight. Contrary to popular belief, the pleasure of eating doesn’t have to be at odds with maintaining optimal health.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle mass, or simply achieve a comfortable weight, the key is healthy eating as part of a sustainable lifestyle. By making conscious choices and adopting mindful eating practices, you can have your cake (or any other guilty pleasure) and eat it too !
1) Healthy eating habits that can be maintained over the long term
Being healthy does not start with a diet, it starts with a healthy lifestyle. Crash diets or extreme restrictions may yield quick results, but they are not sustainable and often lead to a cycle of yo-yo dieting. One of the keys to achieving a sustainable healthy weight is to start with healthy eating habits that can be maintained over the long term.
Instead, focus on incorporating whole, nutrient-dense foods into your diet. Fill your plate with colourful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. These foods provide essential nutrients and keep you feeling satisfied for longer.
2) Prioritize goals that target health and not just weight
While reaching the desired weight outcome you’re hoping for, it’s important to remember that health is not solely determined by the number on the scale. Instead, focus on setting goals that prioritize overall well-being. Think of health goals such as improved cholesterol values, improved sleep, better blood pressure readings or maintaining consistent energy levels throughout the day. These goals go beyond just weight loss and focus on improving your overall quality of life.
3) Forget food restrictions
Restricting yourself from certain foods can often lead to feelings of deprivation and eventually result in binge eating or an unhealthy relationship with food. The Mediterranean diet is great because it promotes a balanced approach to eating. It encourages the consumption of whole, nutrient-dense foods while still allowing for occasional indulgences.
This way, you can enjoy your favorite treats in moderation without feeling guilty or deprived. The Mediterranean diet is known for its vibrant and diverse range of flavors and immense variety. Instead of relying on bland or repetitive meals, this eating pattern encourages the use of herbs, spices, and different cooking techniques to enhance the taste of your dishes.
