Core Mindset Shifts for Sustainable Weight Loss

Do you find what you've tried in the past to lose weight (things that may have worked in the short term) aren't working for you anymore?

Unfortunately as we gracefully get older those 30 day diets or giving up carbs for 60 days to fit comfortably in your clothes don't actually work anymore.

It can be frustrating, but who wants to diet anymore anyway!

The reality is the approach taken back in your 20's & 30's is different to what needs to be taken in your 40's, 50's & 60's and it doesn't have to involve being restricted.

What if instead you could feel lighter and happier with sustainable diet and lifestyle choices that are enjoyable and feel completely doable?

This is what I help women with in my business every day, they go from having dieted on and off for most of their adult life to making doable diet and lifestyle choices that they enjoy which helps them with losing weight and keep it off.

Instead of a quick fix diet to shed a few kilo's they're instead transforming how they do things in a more sustainable and enjoyable way which helps them naturally lose weight and keep it off for the long term.

To help you begin this process there are some core mindset shifts to consider which will help you with moving out of YoYo dieting and into creating sustainable long term change.

3 Core Mindset Shifts for Sustainable Weight Loss

1. Look for the cause not a quick fix

There is no magic fix, pill or surgery that is going to shimmy that weight away without some kind of negative side effect or impact on us mentally.

Our lifestyle choices, levels of stress, hormones and the like have contributed to our current state of health in most instances and it's about addressing these and turning them around in a sustainable way that works for you.

2. Increase your nutrition intake vs restricting it

Often when we diet we restrict foods like carbs and fats to shed weight quickly but this causes nutrient deficiencies, cravings and night time snacking.

It also wrecks havoc on your self esteem as it's incredibly hard to stick to and if we don't we beat ourselves up about it and call ourselves unmotivated or lazy... which simply isn't true.

Instead when you increase your nutrient intake you're giving your body everything it needs to function optimally which helps with losing weight gradually and sustainably.

3. It's about finding what works for you and your lifestyle

Often we try to fit a one size fits all approach into our busy lifestyle and when it doesn't work we tell ourselves there is something wrong with us, we're not able to be consistent or we simply lack will power... which is so disempowering!

But we are not a one size fits all person! We are all unique and different and as as result it's about finding what works for you and your lifestyle specifically and is something you can enjoy doing and maintain long term.

These 3 core mindset shifts are important when it comes to moving away from dieting and towards long term sustainable weight loss.
