So, it turns out that overeating doesn’t cause obesity. There’s been a lot of new research out there recently that has absolutely blown my mind. Holly recently blogged about how some pesticides can hold back weight loss so eating organic foods might actually give you an advantage. I recently read (and tweeted about) how aging doesn’t slow your metabolism as previously believed. Now, research is showing that it’s definitely not the amount we eat that causes us to gain weight!
In my last post, I wrote about how I was switching to the Lazy Keto diet plan, because the traditional ketogenic version – as helpful as it is – was becoming unsustainable for me.
Nutritional psychology is a subject I stumbled upon on social media – of all places – and that sent me into a massive online rabbit hole to better understand what it’s all about. Keeping in mind that even with all my best googling, I’m still eons from becoming an expert, I still thought this topic was fascinating enough that I wanted to share it.
I’m still in early days when it comes to recording keto diet results. Feels like I’ve been doing this for quite some time, but I’m still only several weeks in. Still, I’d like to share what my progress looks like so far.
The days of finding weight loss motivation in bikinis or skinny jeans have loooong passed. They used to drive me, but these days, I find that any help they give me is either short-lived or non-existent. In fact, over the last year, thinking about clothes that don’t fit has really only caused me stress. It hasn’t pushed me forward to do anything great for myself.
I never once in my life thought that I would be able to stop sugar cravings. I have the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know…except probably Holly. She really takes the cake (see what I did there). It was one of the things I was most hesitant about with starting my keto diet.
So, the spring is moving along a lot more quickly than it usually does, so I’m ready to share this year’s fast meals for weight loss. I’m hoping to make this something I do maybe every season or at least every year. It’s a great way to freshen up what we’re eating without taking any more time.
Marley may be trying ketogenic dieting and has already ordered keto diet pills to support her, but on my side of this blog, I’m going to see what turmeric for weight loss will do. I’ve been interested in this for a while. In fact, I know I’m pretty late to the party....
Spring weight loss is by far the easiest. Whenever I’ve tried to drop a few pounds at this time of year, I’ve always been successful. I don’t mean that I’ve always met my goal – and I definitely haven’t kept it off – but it gives me hope. This is a great time to get...
