In this episode, we dive into five common mistakes to avoid when trying to lose weight while focusing on your fertility goals. Let's get started:
Mistake #1: Eating More Than You're Burning
Many of us fall into the trap of thinking that a gym session gives us the freedom to eat whatever we want afterward. Unfortunately, that's not the case. We discuss why it's crucial to prioritize your nutrition, especially after exercise. Discover the power of whole foods, the importance of protein for muscle recovery, and why it's best to steer clear of processed foods.
Mistake #2: Skipping Meals and Bingeing
Trying to save calories by not eating throughout the day often leads to intense hunger and evening binge sessions. We explore the negative effects of this approach and provide practical tips on how to evenly distribute your meals, stabilize blood sugar levels, and avoid overeating.
Mistake #3: Not Eating Enough
Caloric restriction can have adverse effects on your metabolism and weight loss journey. Learn why ingesting enough calories is crucial for sustainable weight loss, fueling your body, and preventing the breakdown of muscle as a source of fuel.
Mistake #4: Drinking Your Calories
We shed light on the hidden sugars, chemicals, and excess calories that lurk in our favorite beverages. Discover why tracking and reducing your consumption of sugary drinks can have a significant impact on your overall health and weight loss progress.
Mistake #5: Excessive Food Restrictions
Restrictive diets often fail in the long run. We explain the importance of finding a balanced approach to nutrition that you can sustain throughout your life. From embracing a colourful variety of foods to maintaining reasonable portion sizes, we discuss how to foster a healthier relationship with food.
