We're gonna talk about six weight loss tips that are super easy and make a big Difference in our weight loss journey. Some of these you may have thought of some of them You may not have but these are six tips that have helped me lose over 33 pounds on the ww program So let's jump right into these six easy tips that make a big difference in weight loss Don't think of this as a diet think of this as a lifestyle a healthy eating lifestyle Immediately when we think diet we think something short term that we're gonna lose a lot of weight and something that chances are We're going to gain back that weight as soon as we stop the diet So when we're on a health journey a weight loss journey It's important to view it as a healthy eating lifestyle or as a permanent lifestyle change That way we're more motivated throughout our weight loss journey But then once we do hit our goal, it's easier for us to maintain that loss because we don't view This as a diet. We view this as a healthy eating a healthy lifestyle Also, when we think healthy lifestyle we view this as permanent So this is something we're going to do the rest of our lives. That's why they call them bad diets They're a fad they come and they go they're not something that is sustainable That's permanent and that can be a complete lifestyle change. So whenever I refer to WW I always refer to it as my journey as my lifestyle as my healthy eating journey Instead of as a diet because it's something that I want to do for the rest of my life Yes, I want to use it to lose weight But I also want to continue in maintenance and not gain that weight back and make this a permanent healthy lifestyle Tip number two eat your protein. This is so important. Yes in order to lose weight It's calories in versus calories out. That's just the facts That's the way that it is anytime you want to lose weight you have to consume less than you're putting out However, not all calories are created equal not all foods fuel our body Not all foods our body knows how to process and not all foods make our body react the same way which delivers us the same result Yes, there are no foods that are bad. All foods are good We should be incorporating all types of foods in our healthy lifestyle But protein is super important and let me give you a few reasons why you should really up your protein game first of all eating enough protein decreases late night hunger cravings and Obesity, it's crazy that if we don't eat enough protein during the day We find ourselves a lot more hungry at night by hitting your protein goal You're going to feel less hungry. You're gonna feel more satiated more satisfied and eating a lot of protein helps fight Obesity, which is always a win when you're on a weight loss journey protein also Decreases your obsessive thoughts about food by up to 60% 60% that is crazy So when we're constantly obsessing over our next meal or obsessing over whether we're gonna eat this or that by upping our protein It's going to decrease that by 60% So food won't always be on our mind because we're not gonna be hungry. We're not gonna be snacky We're not gonna be crazy because we fueled our body with protein also by eating enough protein It helps you feel full and satiated and on average people that eat enough protein eat 441 less calories per day 441 that's a substantial workout to burn that many calories But by just upping our protein game We're less hungry, which means less eating and 441 less calories every day that we have to burn off or try to eliminate Versus that calorie in versus calorie out to lose our weight and the last little tip with protein is Make sure you have it with every meal in every snack So if you're going to have a carb with a snack or a meal make sure you pair that with a protein And another kind of side tip is eat a bigger breakfast and a lesser dinner I know for me I like to save a lot of points for dinner that generally tends to be my biggest meal of the day But it's a proven fact that if you eat a larger breakfast and less at dinner You can see a little bit of shifting in your weight loss not to mention you go to bed not feeling so full And you sleep better It's just overall better to invest your points in your calories in the beginning of the day and a little bit less at the end Of the day number three is my favorite and that is drink your water my friends water is the key to weight loss It helps flush our body It helps keep us full and it fuels our body with water instead of food water hydrates our skin and our body And it can boost our metabolism 24 to 30 percent you can boost your metabolism 24 to 30 percent just by drinking water Another fun interesting fact about water is if you drink 17 ounces of water 30 minutes before your meal you are going to consume 44 percent less food 44 percent less food 44 percent less calories and water does a body good While we're talking beverages and water another couple of things that you can do to help your weight loss is to drink green tea and to Drink lemon infused water if you didn't notice I have lemon in my water Lemon is my very very favorite thing to put in water I also like to put limes oranges cucumbers for me having my water Flavored makes me drink a little bit more so they say to drink green tea before your workout The reason for that is it boosts your energy boosts your metabolism and overall you're going to burn more calories during your workout Now is this true?

Pectin helps with cravings and makes you feel full and satisfied That's why it's important to add lemon to your water plus it tastes amazing It really helps with all of those other benefits and lemon just tastes really really good in water It's refreshing. It's light and in my opinion for me, especially I drink a lot more water when there's some type of fruit or vegetable in my water The next tip is quite interesting.
