Losing weight can feel overwhelming, especially when the usual advice is all about strict diets and grueling workout routines. When I set out to lose 70 lbs, I knew I needed a different approach. I focused on simple, sustainable habits that went beyond just food choices—and together it all worked! Here are my top tips (beyond food) to help you achieve your goals too.
1. Go to the Grocery Store on a Full Stomach
One of the simplest ways to avoid buying unhealthy snacks and processed foods is to shop when you’re not hungry. When your stomach is full, you’re less likely to give in to impulse buys and more likely to stick to healthier options.
2. Brush Your Teeth When Snack Cravings Hit
Evening cravings used to be my downfall. I started brushing my teeth when I felt the urge to snack after dinner. Not only does this create a physical barrier to eating, but the minty taste can also curb those cravings altogether.
3. Stay Hydrated with Electrolytes
Drinking water is critical for weight loss, but I took it a step further by drinking half my body weight in ounces of water daily—and adding electrolytes. This helped me stay energized, improved my focus, and kept hunger at bay.
4. Take a 20-Minute Walk After Each Meal
Walking after meals is a game-changer. It’s not about burning calories; it’s about improving digestion and stabilizing blood sugar levels. Plus, it’s a great way to clear your mind and reduce stress.
5. Share Your Goals with Others
Accountability is key. I told my friends and family about my weight loss goals and invited them to join me in making healthier choices. This created a supportive environment and kept me motivated. Sharing what I'm doing also held me accountable as I knew people were watching.
Bonus Tips for Sustainable Weight Loss
Here are a few more strategies I used to stay on track:
6. Keep a Gratitude Journal - Staying positive made the journey easier. Writing down three things I was grateful for each day helped me stay motivated and focused on the bigger picture.
7. Set Hourly Stretch Breaks - Sitting for too long can drain your energy. I set a timer on my phone to remind me to stretch every hour. This kept my energy up and reduced stress throughout the day.
8. Prioritize Sleep - Getting enough sleep is one of the most overlooked aspects of weight loss. I made it a priority to go to bed at the same time each night and aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep. This gave my body the rest it needed to recover and perform at its best.
My Secret Weapon: Ketones
While all these habits were instrumental in my weight loss journey, I’d be lying if I didn’t share the one tool that truly made a difference: all NATURAL ketone supplements. They gave me the energy, appetite control, and mood stability I needed to stick to these habits and stay consistent. Plus, they improved my sleep and made the whole process feel manageable.
This is a powder, you mix in water and drink at least once a day. It puts you in therapeutic levels of ketosis within 45 minutes - no matter what diet you are using. When in ketosis, your body just performs BETTER because it is receiving a superior fuel source that it prefers over glucose.
If you’re curious about how ketones can help you on your journey, feel free to reach out. I’d love to share more about how they worked for me.
