Vegetable Ceviche

Hi everyone. I know there are a few of you trying to lose some unwanted weight from our quarantine. You may have chosen not to do the Bet on You Challenge with us and that’s ok. I still want to share some of the strategies with you and I’m rooting for you behind the scenes! Here is a little perspective I shared with my Bet on You Group this morning.

 

Food for Thought:

• One pound = 3500 calories
• In order to lose one pound, we have to shave off 3500 calories from what our body is used to. That’s freakin’ hard!
• The best way to approach this is to find a way to shave off 500 calories a day to get us to this point. Usually I would say that a  500 calorie deficit can be a combination of exercise and food; however, most of us have been working out consistently since this pandemic began. What does that mean? It means this weight gain we are dealing with is really coming from what we are eating and drinking.
• That probably comes as no surprise. It’s been a strange and stressful time and certainly our diet is a reflection of the times. During stressful times, our intake often shifts to psychological eating vs. physical eating
• See if you can you make this shift in your mindset? Eat for hunger only, nutrient dense food, 90% of the time each week (physical eating).   And 10% of the time eat things you love just because (psychological eating). If you do the math, that’s allowing you approximately 2x each week to stray from your healthy eating.
• Also this needs to be said. It’s not fun but we all need to be ok with a little hunger right now. We are asking our body to get used to 500 calories a day less than what it’s used to. There’s really no way to accomplish this without feeling a little hungry now and then. Water and lots of veggies are great tactics for getting us through these hungry spells.

 

Weight loss is not a linear process and there’s no guarantee that you will be a pound lighter this Sunday but I promise you…changes are happening inside your body. Momentum and consistency are everything. Keep it up and let me know how I can help from the sidelines.
