Change your focus from LOSE WEIGHT to BE FIT

Obesity is certainly a problem, but many myths about it have led to even bigger problems. The fear of gaining weight often leads people to believe that “skinny” is good and “fat” is bad. But we don’t specify our overall physical shape and focus too much on how we look in the mirror.

Body weight is not the whole picture.

Being “skinny” or “fat” is not an indicator of your health or fitness.

What is fitness?

Ask yourself a few questions:

Can I do all the activities I want to do physically?

Can I walk 5 miles a day without getting out of breath?

Can I keep up with my child at soccer?

Can I take the stairs if the elevator is out?

In fact, a person can be thin but have a terrible diet and more health problems than a fatter person.

You can eat less but not get any better looking, and instead be very weak.

Why are we so focused on being thin?

Many people are still obsessed with being thin.

“If I become thin, I will be happy.” “If I become thin, I will have more friends.” When really, we should be focusing on our overall health and fitness.

Wrong thoughts lead to wrong goals.

Our goal is to have a high quality of life. To be able to do what we want to do physically, WITHOUT fatigue, pain, swelling.

Often people lose weight and then gain it back and even more.

Don't focus on quick fixes and miracle drugs! Not only do they not work, but they also have no health benefits.

What should we do to get fit?

1. Movement is life. Physical activity is very effective in preventing weight gain and, for people who have lost weight, in maintaining weight.

2. Eat right.

Here are some tips:

1. Beware of hidden sources of sugar. It's easy to see sugar in donuts and cookies, but sugar is also "hidden" in foods that we don't necessarily consider "sweet". Sauces, ketchup and packaged bread, for example, contain quite a lot of it.

2. Are you hungry? Drink a glass of water. Water quenches thirst better than soda and juice. It will keep you hydrated and your kidneys functioning properly. Water helps you feel full.

Sometimes we think we are hungry, but we are actually thirsty. So, the next time you feel like eating something, drink some clean water!

5. Spend more time outdoors. The benefits of spending time outdoors are well-known. Sunlight helps you absorb vitamin D, which helps relieve depression. This will help you look at many things positively, and therefore believe in a better future.

6. Find another way to reward yourself. Don’t reward yourself with candy. Don’t tell yourself, “I had a hard day, I deserve ice cream.” Reward yourself with a walk in the park, take a nice bath, watch something fun, buy some expensive tea or fruit that you may have been saving money on.

7. Don’t take a plate of cookies to the couch. If you need a cookie, allow yourself to have it BEFORE watching TV. There is a big risk that you will eat much more than you planned and what you really wanted.

In fact, it is enough to reduce sugar in your diet (or eliminate it altogether) and you will lose weight very quickly and feel light in your body. Experts say that at first it is difficult to do this, but if you stick with it for a few days, the craving for it will decrease significantly. You will feel the difference in your well-being.

Forgetting about sugar is quite simple - Prebiosweet sweetener tastes like sugar and does not contain calories. In addition, Prebiosweet contains fiber or prebiotics.

Studies show that most people who stop eating sugar and other processed foods experience less depression and anxiety. Your mental focus will also improve.
