Weight loss is a common struggle many face – whether your down to the last 10lbs or just starting your weight loss journey, dropping lbs is no easy feat!
The days of extremely restrictive diets and intense cardio are long gone. Losing weight is a lot more complex than many realize, and often requires an individualized approached designed alongside a professional.
Here are a few reasons why working with an ND could be a game changer when it comes to losing weight.
1. Determining your weight lose goals: The WHY of weight loss is often overlooked. Are you wanting to lose weight to simply see a lower number on the scale? To feel more confident? To be ‘healthier’? To fit into a dress for a special event? The answer to these sorts of question will play a large role in determining the right treatment plan for you. What someone’s timeline is, the physical look they want to achieve or the mental mindset they want to have.
2. Investigating underlying factors: Ever feel like you’re exercising daily and eating healthy yet you’re not losing any weight? Well, this could be because weigh loss often comes down to more than just “calories in – calories out”. Hormonal conditions, blood sugar dysfunction and high stress lifestyles can often be the obstacle standing in the way between you and your weight lose goals. This is where proper lab testing and diagnostics becomes extremely important.
3. Creating sustainable long-lasting changes: Yo – yo dieting and magic weight loss drugs are great if you want to drop 30lbs for an event, but you better believe that that weight (and then some) is likely to come back the minute you stop them. Making small sustainable changes over time is key to keeping those lbs off. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing, everything at once approach. The benefit of working with an ND means you have that extra guidance and accountability to stick to these new healthier habits.
