0:14
mine of information seriously and you
0:17
know so many people are looking for
0:18
practical advice right things they can
0:20
actually use in their daily lives
0:22
absolutely relatable tips and real world
0:25
examples that's exactly what we're going
0:26
for today yeah so one thing that struck
0:29
me right away is this Source doesn't
0:31
just throw a random list of tips at you
0:34
right right it's not like do this do
0:35
that it's more about taking a holistic
0:37
approach to weight loss recognizing that
0:40
everyone's different exactly what works
0:42
for one person might not work for
0:44
another it emphasizes finding what fits
0:47
your lifestyle I love that it's all the
0:49
personalization right finding what
0:50
clicks for you yeah and what you can
0:52
stick with long term so let's jump into
0:54
the first big topic diet and nutrition
0:57
okay sounds good what were some of the
0:59
things that stood out to you in that
1:00
section well one that really caught my
1:02
eye was The okanawa harachi Bu principle
1:05
harachi bu yeah have you heard of it it
1:08
rings a bell but remind me it's this
1:09
mindfulness practice where you eat until
1:12
you're about 80% full oh right it's
1:15
about tuning into your body's signals
1:17
and stopping before you feel stuffed
1:19
okay so it's not about deprivation more
1:21
about being in tune with your body
1:23
exactly I can see how that could be
1:24
really helpful for portion control yeah
1:26
and the source even mentions research
1:29
back backing this up people who practice
1:31
harachi pu tend to have lower bmis and a
1:34
lower risk of chronic diseases wow so
1:37
simple but powerful right Small Change
1:39
big impact I like that now the source
1:42
also talks about protein right it's not
1:44
new news but it's always good to revisit
1:47
oh definitely protein is crucial for
1:49
weight loss but what's the science
1:51
behind it why is it so helpful well for
1:53
starters protein takes more energy for
1:55
your body to digest compared to carbs or
1:57
fats okay so you actually burn more
2:00
calories just by breaking it down it's
2:02
called the thermic effect of food
2:04
interesting so we're burning more
2:05
calories just by digesting Protein Plus
2:08
it keeps you feeling full for longer
2:09
which means you're less likely to
2:11
overeat oh that makes sense it's a
2:13
double whammy boosting metabolism and
2:15
helping with those Cravings exactly does
2:17
the source recommend any specific types
2:20
of protein it actually encourages a
2:22
variety of sources both animal and
2:24
plant-based like what you know lean
2:26
meats fish eggs and then on the
2:28
plant-based side things like beans
2:30
lentils tofu okay so good mix it's about
2:34
finding what fits your dietary needs and
2:36
preferences variety is key right for any
2:39
balanced diet now the source also
2:41
debunks the myth that all fats are evil
2:44
definitely there are good fats out there
2:46
it's all about choosing the right ones
2:47
right exactly things like olive oil
2:49
avocados nuts fatty fish those are your
2:52
friends so good and those healthy fats
2:54
actually help you feel more satisfied
2:56
after eating they do and they support
2:58
hormone production can even improve your
3:00
cholesterol levels Okay so we've got
3:02
Protein healthy fats what about fiber
3:05
it's always talking about for weight
3:06
loss fiber is amazing it's like a sponge
3:09
in your digestive system absorbs water
3:11
adds bulk to your meals so you feel
3:13
Fuller for longer exactly it slows down
3:16
digestion too which can help regulate
3:18
blood sugar levels prevents those energy
3:21
crashes that make you crave junk food
3:23
wow I never thought about it that way
3:25
it's literally slowing down the whole
3:27
process it is it keeps you feeling
3:29
satisfied and energized now we can't
3:31
talk about diet without mentioning the
3:33
bad guys right sugary drinks oh yes
3:37
sugary drinks are basically empty
3:39
calories no nutritional value whatsoever
3:42
and they can really sabotage weight loss
3:44
efforts for sure they're quickly
3:45
absorbed into your bloodstream cause a
3:47
rapid spike in blood sugar then you
3:50
crash and crave more sugar it's a
3:52
vicious cycle it is and it's so easy to
3:54
forget how many calories are in those
3:56
sodas and juices definitely it's Sneaky
3:58
the key is to be mindful of those liquid
4:01
calories and swap them out for healthier
4:02
options whenever possible like what
4:05
water unsweetened tea sparkling water
4:07
with squeeze of lemon there are so many
4:10
delicious Alternatives Okay so we've
4:12
covered a lot of the basics Protein
4:15
healthy fats fiber avoiding sugary
4:18
drinks but there was one thing that
4:20
surprised me in the source oh yeah
4:23
what's that the mention of probiotics
4:25
for weight loss ah yes that's a
4:29
fascinating area of research it is can
4:31
you tell us a bit more about that
4:32
connection absolutely so our gut is home
4:35
to trillions of bacteria right right and
4:39
the balance of good and bad bacteria can
4:42
impact everything from digestion to
4:44
metabolism to immune function wow so our
4:47
gut bacteria can actually influence our
4:49
weight that's what emerging research is
4:51
suggesting a healthy gut microbiome
4:53
might play a role in weight regulation
4:55
that's incredible and probiotics can
4:57
help promote that healthy balance of
4:58
bacteria in the gut which could
5:00
potentially impact weight loss so it's
5:02
like this whole ecosystem in our bodies
5:04
that we're just beginning to understand
5:05
it is and the source highlights the
5:07
importance of nourishing our gut with
5:09
Prebiotic rich foods prebiotics yeah
5:11
they're like food for the good bacteria
5:13
in our gut ah okay and what kinds of
5:15
foods are we talking about things like
5:17
fruits vegetables fermented foods they
5:20
all help fuel those beneficial bacteria
5:22
so we've talked a lot about diet and the
5:24
surprising role of gut health yeah it's
5:27
all connected now let's shift gears a
5:29
bit and talk about exercise and activity
5:31
okay great and the source seems to
5:33
emphasize that it's not just about
5:34
hitting the gym right absolutely it's
5:37
about finding ways to move your body
5:40
that you actually enjoy and that fit
5:42
into your daily life making movement a
5:44
natural part of your routine exactly
5:46
what are some examples the source gives
5:48
well it highlights walking walking yeah
5:50
just walking it sounds simple but it can
5:53
be so powerful I guess we all know
5:55
walking is good for us but but we often
5:57
underestimate it true think about it a
5:59
brisk walk during your lunch break
6:01
walking to the grocery store instead of
6:03
driving taking the stairs instead of the
6:06
elevator those are all things we can
6:07
easily do exactly it all adds up over
6:10
time and it doesn't require a gym
6:12
membership or any special equipment
6:14
right the source also talks about
6:16
finding little ways to be more active
6:19
throughout the day like what standing up
6:21
and stretching every hour if you have a
6:23
desk job parking further away from your
6:26
destination so you have to walk a little
6:27
more oh I like that little tweaks to our
6:30
daily habits yeah it's about making
6:32
those conscious choices to move more
6:36
whenever possible so it's almost like a
6:37
game right how much movement can I sneak
6:40
into my day exactly and speaking of
6:43
tracking movement The Source mentions
6:45
fitness trackers oh yeah those can be
6:47
helpful they can be really motivating
6:49
you can see your progress track your
6:51
steps calories burned even sleep
6:54
patterns it's like having a little
6:55
accountability buddy right there on your
6:57
wrist exactly and it can help you set
6:59
realistic goals too now the source also
7:02
talks about strength training right
7:03
absolutely strength training is
7:05
essential and it's not just about
7:06
building muscle it actually plays a big
7:09
role in weight loss oh for sure when you
7:11
strength train you build lean muscle
7:14
mass which boosts your metabolism the
7:16
more muscle you have the more calories
7:18
you burn even when you're not working
7:19
out exactly and strength training also
7:22
improves your body composition meaning
7:24
you'll have more muscle and less fat so
7:27
it's like this positive cycle yeah yeah
7:29
building muscle leads to a higher
7:31
metabolism which helps you burn more
7:33
calories all day long exactly does the
7:35
source recommend any specific types of
7:38
strength training it encourages a mix of
7:41
exercises that Target different muscle
7:43
groups okay so like what body weight
7:45
exercises lifting weights using
7:47
resistance bands there are so many
7:49
options it's about finding what you
7:51
enjoy and that fits your Fitness level
7:53
right exactly and don't underestimate
7:56
the power of having a workout buddy oh
7:58
yeah that can make a huge difference
7:59
it's more fun to exercise with a friend
8:01
and you're more likely to stay
8:03
consistent when you have someone to hold
8:04
you accountable it's like having a
8:05
built-in cheerleader exactly someone to
8:08
motivate you and keep you on track Okay
8:10
so we've got exercise covered now let's
8:12
talk about Lifestyle Changes sounds good
8:15
the source highlights the importance of
8:17
sleep right sleep is so crucial it's
8:20
often overlooked when it comes to weight
8:22
loss but it plays a huge role why is
8:24
that well when you don't get enough
8:26
sleep your body produces more of the
8:27
hunger hormone groon and less of the
8:30
satiety hormone leptin wait so lack of
8:33
sleep actually makes us feel hungrier it
8:35
does and it can make you crave those
8:37
sugary processed foods even more wow I
8:40
never realized the connection was that
8:41
strong it's a powerful link and sleep
8:44
deprivation can also sap your energy and
8:46
make you less motivated to exercise so
8:48
it's a triple whammy it makes us
8:49
hungrier messes with our cravings and
8:52
makes us less likely to work out exactly
8:55
okay so getting enough sleep is
8:57
non-negotiable what about stress how
8:59
does that factor into weight loss stress
9:02
is a big one when we're stressed our
9:03
bodies release cortisol right the stress
9:06
hormone and cortisol can do a number on
9:08
our weight it can increase appetite
9:10
promote fat storage especially around
9:12
the belly and even disrupt sleep so
9:15
stress is making us hungrier storing
9:17
more fat and messing with our sleep yep
9:19
it's a trifecta of trouble that's why
9:21
Finding healthy ways to manage stress is
9:23
so important absolutely the source
9:25
recommends a variety of stress busting
9:27
techniques like what exercise meditation
9:31
deep breathing exercises spending time
9:33
in nature listening to music anything
9:35
that helps you relax and unwind it's
9:38
about prioritizing self-care and finding
9:41
those moments of calm in our busy lives
9:43
exactly even small acts of self-care can
9:46
make a big difference now let's talk
9:48
about something simple but essential
9:50
hydration oh yes water is so important
9:53
we all know we should drink more water
9:55
but how does it actually help with
9:56
weight loss well water plays a role in
9:59
so so many bodily functions including
10:01
digestion metabolism transporting
10:04
nutrients okay and it helps you feel
10:06
full which can prevent
10:07
overeating sometimes we mistake thirst
10:09
for Hunger so staying hydrated can help
10:12
avoid those unnecessary snack attacks
10:14
that makes sense I always try to keep a
10:15
water bottle with me throughout the day
10:16
that's a great strategy and the source
10:18
suggests starting your day with a glass
10:20
of water to Kickstart your metabolism I
10:22
like that a simple but effective habit
10:24
now let's talk about some helpful habits
10:26
for weight loss okay what does the
10:27
source recommend planning and
10:29
preparation are key The Source
10:31
emphasizes meal planning creating a
10:34
grocery list and even prepping snacks
10:36
and meals in advance so it's all about
10:38
being proactive and setting ourselves up
10:40
for Success exactly having healthy
10:43
options ready to go can really help you
10:45
avoid those tempting unhealthy choices
10:48
especially when you're hungry and don't
10:49
have time to cook exactly and remember
10:52
mindful eating we touched on it earlier
10:54
yeah the okol principle right well
10:56
mindful eating in general can be really
10:58
helpful for weight L how so it's about
11:01
paying attention to the sensory
11:02
experience of eating slowing down
11:05
savoring each bite and really listening
11:07
to your body's signals of hunger and
11:09
fullness it's like bringing more
11:11
awareness to the act of eating itself
11:14
exactly and when you eat mindfully
11:16
you're more likely to enjoy your food
11:18
and feel satisfied with less it can help
11:20
prevent that mindless overeating we all
11:22
do sometimes exactly the source also
11:25
stresses the importance of reading food
11:27
labels oh yeah that can be eye opening
11:29
it is it helps you understand portion
11:31
sizes identify hidden sugars and
11:33
unhealthy fats and make more informed
11:36
choices about what you're putting in
11:37
your body it's like becoming a detective
11:39
for your own health it is and you'd be
11:42
surprised how much sugar unhealthy fats
11:44
and sodium are hiding in processed foods
11:47
definitely and remember it's not about
11:49
being perfect it's about progress not
11:52
Perfection right it's okay to indulge
11:55
sometimes as long as we're making
11:56
healthy choices most of the time exactly
11:58
deprivation can backfire now the source
12:01
also talks about journaling as a helpful
12:03
habit journaling how does that help with
12:06
weight loss it can be a great tool for
12:07
self-awareness and accountability you
12:09
can track your food intake identify your
12:12
triggers for unhealthy eating celebrate
12:14
your successes and work through
12:16
challenges it's about bringing more
12:17
awareness to our thoughts and behaviors
12:19
around food exactly and there are
12:22
different ways to journal you can keep a
12:23
food diary write about your feelings or
12:26
just jot down your thoughts and
12:27
Reflections it's about finding works for
12:29
you and using journaling as a way to
12:32
support your journey now let's talk
12:34
about natural supplements okay the
12:36
source mentions a few that can
12:38
potentially help with weight loss but it
12:40
really emphasizes that supplements
12:42
should just be an extra boost not a
12:44
replacement for a healthy lifestyle
12:46
absolutely supplements are not Magic
12:49
Bullets they can provide some support
12:51
but the foundation is still a healthy
12:53
diet regular exercise and sustainable
12:56
lifestyle changes so supplements are
12:57
like The Supporting Cast not the lead
12:59
actors exactly what are you curious
13:01
about specifically well the source
13:03
mentions caffeine right yes caffeine is
13:06
a natural stimulant that can slightly
13:07
boost your metabolism and energy levels
13:10
which can be helpful for workouts so
13:11
that morning cup of coffee might be
13:13
doing more than just waking us up it
13:15
might give your metabolism A little
13:16
nudge too but moderation is key of
13:19
course too much caffeine can have some
13:21
downsides exactly it can lead to Jitters
13:24
anxiety or trouble sleeping so what
13:27
other natural supplements does the
13:28
source talk about green tea extract is
13:31
another one green tea contains compounds
13:33
called catchin which have been shown to
13:35
have some thermogenic effects
13:37
thermogenic what does that mean it means
13:40
they can help your body burn more
13:41
calories I love green tea it's so
13:43
refreshing and it has a bunch of health
13:45
benefits The Source also mentions
13:47
vitamin D Studies have shown a
13:49
correlation between vitamin D deficiency
13:51
and obesity interesting so getting
13:54
enough vitamin D could potentially help
13:56
with weight loss it's possible adequate
13:59
vitamin D levels might play a role in
14:01
regulating metabolism and appetite
14:03
soaking up some sunshine or taking a
14:05
supplement could make a difference it
14:07
might but of course always talk to your
14:10
doctor before adding any new supplements
14:12
to your routine that's a good reminder
14:14
now the source also emphasizes the
14:16
importance of setting realistic goals
14:18
right oh absolutely realistic goals are
14:21
key for Success why is that well if we
14:24
set unrealistic goals we're more likely
14:26
to get discouraged and give up it's
14:28
setting ourselves up for failure exactly
14:31
the source recommends starting small
14:33
setting achievable goals that you can
14:34
build on over time it's about those
14:37
small wins that keep us motivated
14:39
exactly it creates a sense of
14:40
accomplishment and helps you build those
14:42
healthy habits so instead of trying to
14:43
change everything at once we focus on
14:45
making gradual sustainable changes
14:48
exactly and the source suggests setting
14:50
smart goals smart goals yeah goals that
14:53
are specific measurable achievable
14:56
relevant and time bound I like that it
14:58
gives you do a clear road map and it's
15:00
okay to adjust your goals along the way
15:02
as needed life happens true flexibility
15:05
is important and don't forget to
15:06
celebrate your successes no matter how
15:08
small yes acknowledge that progress
15:11
every step forward is a win and remember
15:13
weight loss is a journey not a
15:15
destination it's about finding a healthy
15:17
lifestyle you can maintain longterm
15:20
exactly and the source really stresses
15:22
the importance of consistency and
15:24
patience sustainable weight loss takes
15:27
time and effort it's not a quick fix
15:29
it's about those daily choices that add
15:31
up over time so focus on the process
15:34
celebrate the small wins and trust that
15:36
the results will come exactly and don't
15:38
be afraid to seek support when you need
15:40
it whether it's from a friend family
15:42
member health care provider or support
15:44
group having that support system can
15:46
make a huge difference this has been an
15:48
awesome Deep dive so far so many
15:50
practical strategies yeah and remember
15:52
it's about finding what works for you
15:54
and your body and listening to those
15:56
signals right exactly it's about
15:58
personalization
15:59
and sustainability you know we've talked
16:01
about so many great strategies for
16:06
the but I'm curious are there any like
16:10
unexpected insights in the source things
16:14
we might not usually associate with
16:15
weight loss H let me think oh there's
16:19
this whole section on how our
16:20
environment can influence our food
16:22
choices really yeah it's called Choice
16:24
architecture Choice architecture that
16:26
sounds interesting it is it's basically
16:28
about how our surroundings can subtly
16:31
nudge us towards certain decisions so
16:33
like if healthy snacks are more visible
16:35
and accessible we're more likely to
16:37
choose them exactly think about it if
16:40
you have a bowl of fruit on the counter
16:42
you're more likely to grab a piece of
16:43
fruit for a snack right but if you have
16:45
a pantry full of chips and cookies well
16:48
Temptation wins exactly so it's about
16:50
setting ourselves up for success by
16:52
creating an environment that supports
16:54
healthy choices makes sense it's like
16:57
removing those Temptations or at least
16:59
making them less accessible right it's
17:01
not about willpower it's about making
17:03
those healthy choices the easier more
17:06
convenient option I love that it takes
17:08
the pressure off the source gives some
17:10
great examples of how to do this oh yeah
17:12
like what using smaller plates to help
17:14
with portion control prep portioning
17:17
snacks into individual bags or
17:19
containers oh I like that so you're not
17:21
tempted to eat the whole bag right and
17:23
even just keeping unhealthy Foods out of
17:25
sight like on higher shelves or in the
17:26
back of the pantry so it's like we're
17:28
creating these little nudges throughout
17:30
our day to make those healthier choices
17:32
more automatic exactly it's all about
17:34
those little tweaks now one thing I
17:36
struggle with and I'm sure a lot of
17:38
people can relate is emotional eating oh
17:41
emotional eating is so common it is but
17:45
it can really sabotage weight loss
17:47
efforts for sure it's using food to cope
17:50
with stress boredom sadness all those
17:53
tricky emotions it's like we're seeking
17:55
comfort in food instead of dealing with
17:57
the root of the problem exactly and the
18:00
source offers some great tips for
18:02
breaking free from that cycle oh like
18:04
what well the first step is to become
18:07
more aware of your triggers triggers
18:10
yeah like what situations emotions or
18:12
even thoughts usually make you want to
18:14
reach for food for Comfort okay so it's
18:16
about figuring out those patterns once
18:18
you identify your triggers you can start
18:19
to develop healthier coping mechanisms
18:22
so instead of turning to food we find
18:24
other ways to deal with those emotions
18:25
exactly it could be going for a walk
18:28
talking to a friend journaling listening
18:30
to music anything that helps you
18:31
de-stress and feel better without
18:33
involving food it's about finding what
18:35
works for you exactly and having those
18:37
tools ready when those emotional eating
18:39
urges strike that makes so much sense
18:42
The Source also talks about
18:43
self-compassion right yes
18:45
self-compassion is key it's about being
18:47
kind to ourselves and recognizing that
18:50
we're all human we're going to have
18:52
slip-ups we're not perfect right and
18:54
it's not about beating ourselves up for
18:55
those slip UPS it's about learning from
18:58
them and moving on it's about progress
19:00
not Perfection exactly and remember
19:02
weight loss is a journey it's not a
19:04
Sprint it's a marathon it's about making
19:07
those small consistent changes day after
19:10

loss I'm so glad to hear that it's not
19:23
just about diets and exercise it's about
19:25

environment plays and the importance of
19:31

19:33

19:35
