Have you succeeded in losing some body fat but are worried you won’t be able to maintain your goal weight? Gaining back weight is a common problem, and it’s usually the result of not making sustainable lifestyle changes. When you focus on long-term goals, you’ll be able to see long-term results. Here are a few of our best tips for losing weight and keeping it off:
1. Make smart supplement choices.
One of the ways you can help manage your weight is with high-quality supplements containing research-backed ingredients that target specific areas of your gut and metabolic health. Here are 3 of our best-selling products:
- GLP-1 Probiotic– a trio of science-based bacteria strains, including Akkermansia, shown to naturally improve your body’s GLP-1 hormone production; this is NOT a GLP-1 agonist drug.
- Berberine EX 5– contains the bioactive form of berberine, dihydroberberine (DHB), for enhanced absorption and effectiveness; taking berberine has benefits for both blood glucose and cholesterol metabolism.
- Fiber Full– a natural soluble fiber supplement that supports satiety, regularity, blood glucose metabolism, and weight control and also acts as a prebiotic for healthy intestinal bacteria.
Whether you’re insulin resistant, are experiencing signs of type 2 diabetes, or just want to protect your gut health, these products are fantastic options! Before starting any new supplement, be sure to talk with a healthcare professional about any potential interactions with current medications and to ensure that the supplement is the best choice for your specific needs. Our staff is also just a phone call away if you have any questions about our supplements!
2. Change up your exercise habits.
While finding a physical activity you enjoy and sticking with it is fantastic, you also don’t want to become burnt out and lose motivation either, which is why we recommend adding variety to your weekly exercise routine. If you like going to the gym, focus on different areas of your body during each visit, or choose a machine you’ve never used before to try something new. Like yoga? Try reformer pilates! Other tips for living an active lifestyle include swimming, biking or hiking, and taking a spin class or dancing class.
3. Focus on protein intake.
Another of our best tips for losing weight and keeping it off is a piece of nutrition advice– prioritize achieving a daily protein goal. Making sustainable changes to your diet doesn’t have to look like never eating your favorite foods or enjoying “fast food” every once in a while. When you focus on eating high-protein foods at every meal in addition to snacks, you’ll feel fuller longer and will be less prone to binging and cravings. Things like eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, beans and lentils, nuts, peanut butter, and lean meats like fish and poultry are excellent for increasing your protein intake, and when enhanced with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, your plate will be fully equipped to help you manage your weight in the long term.
