A warm, week of fabulous weather ahead and Summer less than 8 weeks away.
Exciting for some, not so much others.
WHY?
Well, I could be wrong,
But I’m guessing most women reading this perhaps feel a little uncomfortable in the warmer weather and when it comes to busting out their Summer wardrobe.
Change about 5 times before going out.
Don’t feel happy looking in the mirror.
Feel self conscious, criticise every part of their body.
Get upset, frustrated.
And wish they were slimmer.
➡ Am I right?
Cue jumping on the latest fad, shake, pill, detox, cleanse or unnecessary over restriction of food in the desperate search for a quick fix and fast results.
So today, I just wanted to help you out by giving you some knowledge.
To help you to beat through all the weightloss industry bullsh*t out there (believe me, there’s ALOT) to save you time, effort and money.
1. Don’t Believe Someone Just Because They Call Themselves a Dr.
It’s a scientifically proven fact that calories in vs calories out is the one and only method and reason to which weighltoss or weightgain will occur.
This has been proven time and time again, however people like Dr. Jade can make more money and have a lucrative weightloss business by fooling you into thinking it’s something else like your hormones – it’s not your hormones.
Dr. Jade also thinks exercise is bad advice for weightloss (big face palm).
Whether your goal is weightloss or not, exercise plays such an incredibly important role not only in your physical health but also mental health and should ALWAYS be advised.
Exercise also play a huge part in our calorie burn, not necessarily a workout in itself but generally being active ie your steps.
And just to save you any confusion:
❌ Your metabolism in not at a standstill – if it was…you would dead!!
❌ Your metabolism is not broken – if it was…you would also be dead.
❌ Your metabolism does not need to ‘reset’ – this is not physiologically possible.
2. Stay Away From Quizzes.
Whether it’s a weightloss quiz for your body type, blood type, metabolic type.
It’s all utter rubbish but a great way to waste your time, be sold an unnecessary, ineffective product and be ripped off.
3. Avoid Anything with Unrealistic Claims.
Such as ‘lose 10 pounds in 10 days’.
If this happens, congratulations, you just lost a sh*t load of water, precious muscle and felt like crap cause you starved yourself and mostly like drank something that tasted like poo.
All that weight (sadly not muscle) will go back on as soon as you start eating ‘normally’ again and you’ll be back to square one but with less money.
As much as we’d like them to, quick fixes just….don’t….work.
4. Don’t Buy Stupid Gadgets
If it sounds too good to be true – it usually is.
If it claims you’re gonna lose a tonne of weight by not doing anything – forget it.
Under this also comes fatburners and tablets that claims to help you burn more fat, prevent your body creating fat or helping you burn fat ‘all night long’.
And don’t get me started on weightloss injections.
5. Stay Clear of Anything/Anyone That Says Detox or Cleanse.
This is a HUGE business but unfortunately all a con.
Your body is an amazing machine and has a whole array of detoxing and cleansing organs such as your kidneys and liver.
Seriously, please save your money.
➡ Oh and apple cider vinegar?
Tastes awful and does feck all, you don’t need to drink this or take it in tablet form.
➡ OK, well this all sounds interesting Lee but what should I be doing?
Glad you asked.
Stay tuned to next Monday’s blog.
