HOW CAN YOU LOSE 50 POUNDS LIKE THESE WOMEN?

I have good news! There is something positive about needing to lose over 50 pounds. The more you need to lose, the faster (and somewhat) easier your weight can come off.

The catch? You still need to do the right things, eat the right foods, and do the right exercise. You can’t just WISH or HOPE your weight will go away.

Did you notice none of these women who have lost OVER 500 pounds combined, said anything about eating LESS and/or exercising MORE?

Restricting calories not only causes a slow metabolism and fat storage, but it will literally make you crazy, obsessed about food, have feelings of guilt, and dwelling on your past failures.

Also, without proper nutrition your cells can’t achieve their optimal metabolic function, causing a slow thyroid.

The time to STOP restricting calories and start eating whole foods is NOW.

Remember, your daily habits make or break your ability to lose weight and get healthy. Choose the right habits that give you the best results possible.

Helping you transform your body one habit at a time,
