5 Easy Weightloss Habits

Losing weight can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be. By making a few simple changes to your daily routine, you can start losing weight and improve your health.

Here are five easy habits to help you shed those extra pounds:

1. Eat more protein:

Protein is an important nutrient that helps keep you full and satisfied. By increasing your protein intake, you can reduce your cravings, which can lead to weight loss.

Good sources of protein include meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, and nuts.

2. Drink plenty of water:

Water is essential for good health, and it can also help you lose weight. When you're dehydrated, your body may hold onto excess water, which can cause weight gain. By drinking plenty of water, you can flush out excess water and toxins. This will help your body function more efficiently.

3. Get enough sleep:

Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain. It can increase your appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night can help keep your metabolism running smoothly and prevent weight gain.

4. Increase daily movement:

Regular exercise is a crucial part of a balanced healthy lifestyle. It can help you burn calories, boost your metabolism, and improve your muscle mass.

This is most effective as part of a long term plan. Start simple and choose activities you could do on a daily basis, then build up from there. The most accessible and easiest options would be brisk walking or cycling for 30 minutes.

5. Eat slower and be more mindful:

Overeating is a common cause of weight gain, and eating fast can make it worse.

Eating slower and remaining mindful is a great way to combat this. You will become better at recognising when you're full and stop eating before you overeat. Try putting your fork down between bites, and take the time to savour each bite of food.

When these habits become part of your daily routine, you will lose weight and improve your health. It may take some time and effort, but the benefits are well worth it.

You'll notice as you start to see progress, your motivation to stick to the plan will improve.

Outraged Queen Had This Covered Up

A naked man stands in the middle of an old museum in Italy.

He has been seen in all his glory by millions, even billions of people. And his name is known around the world.

When people speak of him, they usually mention his dads name in the same breath.

Guessed who they are yet?

Seventeen feet tall, and 12,000 pounds in weight, I speak of the one and only...

Michelangelo's David.

Most people have heard of this statue, but few people know that it was built to represent man in his perfect form. Earning the little-known title of "The Ideal Man."

A balance of beauty, strength and health all whilst holding a pose with ease and grace. It was and still is praised as an artistic masterpiece.

People asked Michelangelo how he was able to sculpt such beauty from a massive boulder. Which Donatello, (another famous artist, not the famous turtle) had earlier abandoned working with due to a fault in the stone.

Michelangelo said "[David] is there, locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone."

The lesson I take from this, and the reason I'm sharing it with you is simple.

When it comes to improving our lives we usually rush to add things in to our already busy lives. This can create even more noise, and make it harder to focus on what's important. When often times the answer is to remove the excess.

What are you currently doing in your life that's not serving you?

What old habits could be holding you back from you getting what you really want?

Michelangelo's David teaches us that we can reach our own ideal, not by adding more, but by taking away.

If you want help removing some of the excess and learning what to really focus on, comment below or let me know.

P.S.

The outraged queen was Queen Victoria. She was gifted a replica and was so shocked by Davids, ahh manhood, that she had a leaf plastered over it.
