How hard is it to lose weight and why do people struggle to live more healthy?
Also how to actually eat healthy? Let's talk about it in this video.
Now as you know I once weighted a lot more. Then I lost 25kg in only 4 months. Ever since, living healthy has been a priority topic of interest for me and a goal I pursue.
First of all, what does it mean to live healthy and happy? I think it's not only about weight but some other things that have to be right first.
Food, sports, and mindset work together to make you happy strong and healthy. This is the state we all should be in. Strong Happy and Healthy. This is how we are meant to be.
So, why do we overeat in the first place? Why are we so intrigued by the wrong foods? It is really more about what you eat than how much you eat.
I remember when I started my low carb diet, now almost 18 years ago, people believed that fatty food is bad. They said I'm crazy to go low carb diet. They believed it's a fad like pineapple diet. They kept saying they tried everything and nothing worked. Just an excuse in my opinion.
They believed it so hard and defended their believe because it was pushed to them in the media and in advertising that fat is the culprit, ultimately pushed by food industry in the background - like a puppet master. Instead people ate all the high carbs and high sugar "diet" products, they sell.
But low carb worked! For years now. It took the industry some time to adapt and now finally "low sugar" is a thing for them too.
Why eat all that artificial stuff? It should be easily comprehensible that the more natural a product is, the closer to it's original state, the better for us. We are built to consume unprocessed food.
You have to build good habits and beliefs to be more Healthy, Happy and Strong.
By habits I mean you have to change things for the good and apply them REGULARLY, e.g. if you plan to workout more, plan it - on your agenda and then do it regulary, same day, same time - every week. Don't even think about it anymore, just do it.
It also helps to do it with other people because then you support each other. E.g. go to the gym together.
It's so hard to lose weight, because your body will trigger emotions. Angryness, anxiety, food cravings. That makes it hard. And if you're stressed it's even harder. You have to get rid of stress and you can try to do this by adding routine to your everyday life.
Also, .. and this is BIG and very IMPORTANT! Don't put yourself down if you fail once. Instead celebrate your small successes. Be happy. Focus on what you did right, for example you also had a salad with your food. The path to big success is built by small successful baby steps.
