When ever I go to the beach I quite often get asked questions about my diet and exercise, so I've decided to share some of my secrets. Firstly though your weight and health are intimately interwoven, so if you have any chronic health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, autoimmune, chronic fatigue etc in order to control these you need to be able to control your weight, but the irony is that when you have any of these conditions it makes it so much harder - a bit of a catch 22. When it comes to diet for weight loss most people believe that it's all about calories, portion control and metabolism. But there's actually a whole lot more to it than that, infact even the way calories are counted in my opinion is wrong. The most important factor to consider here is what actually causes you to put on weight is STRESS! ie too many calories = stress, too bigger portion size = stress, exposure to chemicals = stress, oxidation = stress, lack of sleep, loss of job, relationship issues, blood pressure etc = stress. But stress is also needed to initiate change and loosing weight is change thus the confusion, which is why so many people have problems with it. One more thing to consider here is that nutrient deficiencies tend to increase reactions to stress thus compounding all of the above including calories. I will go into this in a lot more detail in future posts. #lean #leansecrets #weight #weightloss #lowbodyfat #exercise #optimalhealth #optimalweight #optimalnutrition #stretching #yoga #nutrition #fitness #health #wholefoods #wholefooddiet #metabolism #diet #dietsecrets https://www.instagram.com/2bendili/p/Bws0m8qlb0U/?igshid=ovh8ezx72j6j
