The lazy person’s GUIDE to wEIGhT LOSS…
1.) Spend time daily in deep relaxation, at least an hour throughout the day...more if possible.
This is a powerful way to balance and decrease the stress hormone cortisol. The more cortisol you have running through your body, the more your body will gain and hold onto weight like there's no tomorrow.
2.) Take longer pauses between your meals. You can do this by eliminating snacking throughout the day, or extending the time between dinner and breakfast. Doesn't have to be the same pause every day, it's actually great to vary it up, but more time pausing between meals will help you lose weight.
Some people call this intermittent fasting. Don't matter what you call it. It works by decreasing insulin and countering insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can make weight loss almost impossible.
Similar to cortisol...the more insulin you have running through your body, the more your body will gain weight and refuse to let it go.
3.) Start a Food and Mood Journal. Write down everything you eat, and how you felt while eating and afterwards. No judgment, just data.
You can use dirty napkins to write it down, or a fancy journal. Don't matter, just write it.
No need to analyze, or think about it after you write it. Simple, straightforward, just write it down. Anything we bring awareness to, we naturally and automatically start to change for the better. As long as we don't judge it and bring shame to this process.
4.) Eat more vegetables and low sugar fruits. If you are looking to let go of weight, strive for at least 50 percent of each meal being veg/fruit.
The nutrients from these foods prevent cravings that come from malnourishment. The fiber helps you get full faster and keeps your digestion humming along nicely.
These are some of the basic steps I took to let go of over 70 pounds in just a few months.
I have an aunt that also let go of a lot of weight during the same time. She worked REALLY hard...exercising daily, for an hour or more, eating special foods. I respect her immensely. I felt guilty sometimes that I was doing less and having similar results.
Don't get me wrong...it's not like I was lying in bed all day, I was moving daily to take care of our animals. But, I didn't add any sort of exercise to my routine. And I did spend plenty of time in bed for my daily deep relaxation sessions!
I no longer feel guilty. It's a beautiful thing that if you want to work hard, you can reach your goals.
It's also a beautiful thing that if you want to work less hard, you can also reach your goals...when you find a system that works well for you.
We can talk later about whether you're actually LAZY or just HIGHLY ENERGY EFFICIENT ;o).
