Weight Loss Habits

To achieve sustainable weight loss, individuals often need to adopt a set of consistent habits that support their long-term health and wellness goals. As a nutrition coach based in Arlington, Texas, I understand the importance of creating effective and lasting habits for my clients. We will explore the top weight loss habits to help you achieve your desired results.

Introduction: Setting the Stage for Success

Sustainable weight loss is not just about quick fixes or crash diets. It’s about making conscious choices and developing habits that support your overall well-being. As a dedicated nutrition coach located in Arlington, Texas, I am passionate about helping you discover the top weight loss habits that can transform your journey into a successful and lasting lifestyle.

Mindful Eating: Nourish Your Body and Soul

One of the cornerstone habits of sustainable weight loss is mindful eating. This practice encourages you to be fully present during your meals, allowing you to savor every bite and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues. By slowing down and savoring each mouthful, you can avoid overeating and build a healthier relationship with food. As a nutrition coach, I can guide you through mindful eating techniques tailored to your preferences and needs.

Balanced and Nutrient-Dense Meals: Fueling Your Body Right

Nutrition plays a crucial role in sustainable weight loss. Crafting balanced and nutrient-dense meals ensures that your body receives the essential vitamins, minerals, and macro-nutrients it needs to thrive. As your Arlington-based nutrition coach, I can provide personalized meal plans and recipes that cater to your unique dietary requirements and preferences, making healthy eating both enjoyable and sustainable.

Regular Physical Activity: Embrace Movement as a Lifestyle

Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine is essential for maintaining a healthy weight. Whether you’re exploring the beautiful parks of Arlington or engaging in fun workout classes, finding enjoyable ways to move your body can make a significant impact on your weight loss journey. Together, we can create an exercise plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle, ensuring long-term success.

Adequate Sleep: Prioritize Rest for Optimal Results

Sleep is often underestimated in its role in weight loss. Getting enough quality sleep is crucial for regulating hormones that influence appetite and metabolism. As your dedicated nutrition coach in Arlington, Texas, I can provide guidance on establishing healthy sleep patterns and creating a bedtime routine that promotes restful slumber, contributing to your overall weight loss success.

Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss

The term “weight loss” is so common that there are over 88 billion Google searches per month. However, the key is really Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss.

At least 2.8 million people die each year from obesity related diseases. 34 % of adults in the U.S. are obese, with another 34 % being overweight. In a more startling statistic, in children 50 % of boys are obese along side 40 % of girls.

What gives…

According to the NIH in 2010, “Obesity is the next major epidemiologic challenge facing today’s doctors”. This study titled “The Obesity Epidemic” states that Obesity is associated with a higher incidence of a number of diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer”.

The NIH explains that factors like fast food expansion, industrially produced trans fats, and portion sizes, to say the least.

How do we fight back?

I am not sure how to fix this on a grand scale without dismantling the fast food industry and remodeling the entire food industry as a whole. However, on an individual level, we can fix a lot.

That is why I am doing what I do. My goal is to provide science-backed resources for individuals who want to make a dramatic change in their lives. I created these resources for people who desire to eat healthy, lose weight, feel great, and hopefully live longer, more fulfilling lives.

Therefore, I went on the same journey to figure out what was causing me to pack on the pounds and feel sluggish every day. I slept horribly, ate poorly, and exercised infrequently to say the least. With the changes I made, I’m hoping that you too can become the best and healthiest version of yourself.

Why Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss

The common misconception, mainly due to advertising, is that we coined the phrase weight loss and established it as an entire industry designed to provide resources and tools for people who wanted to get healthy. With that came countless ideas and theories about the best ways to lose weight and to do it fast.

The problem with most weight loss systems is that they focus on just that, weight loss. If the scale numbers go down, we are doing a great job. This seems like a great thing, but what is really going on?

In many weight loss programs weight loss includes muscle loss and even a loss of healthy bodily functions, due to the lack of good nutrition. These programs become a way to lose weight fast and be lighter on the scale.

What these programs fail to tell you is that most people that do “lose weight fast” protocols gain the weight back when going back to “normal” eating, and many gain back more weight than before.

This is because there is an ignorance of the most important goal of healthy weight loss, and that is Fat Loss. Fat Loss is a bit more complicated than just cutting out sodas, or eating salad all the time. In fact, eating salad all the time is fairly unhealthy, because it lacks the vital nutrients your body needs to function properly.

What do I offer?

My program is not much different than many out there with the goal of total health and fat loss. I provide the resources and information necessary to make informed decisions. I share my story about how I lost 50 pounds in 8 months and created a much healthier lifestyle.

Disclaimer: I’m a Guy Who Lost Weight

I'm a guy who lost weight

I am not a certified fitness trainer, or a licensed nutritionist by any stretch of the imagination. I am a guy who lost weight! So why trust me?

Although I do have a very small background from taking Kinesiology courses at college, I went into this process with a fairly blank slate. I knew the basics of what was healthy, and that I needed to eat better, but that’s about it.

However, I spent thousands of hours reading books, analyzing studies, and watching videos from top experts in the field. I wrote down everything I learned and studied it relentlessly. Even more so, I applied these things to my life and proved that this system absolutely works. No Cap (As kids today would say)!

So I guess I’m not just a guy who lost weight…

One fault of mine is that I can’t let things go without completely learning everything I can about it. This is also why I can talk about this until I am blue in the face.

I sat in front of my computer every waking opportunity I got and STUDIED. And I STUDIED hard!

The hardest thing was sitting through the hype and the dishonest information that many put out as trustworthy. There are so many out there just trying to earn a quick dollar that they will put out dishonest and sometimes harmful advice on weigh loss.

Transforming from a guy who lost weight to a knowledgeable resource…

At the beginning it was just about transforming my own body. I was dead focused on fixing my own issues and losing weight. If I couldn’t lose my own weight, then how could I help others?

Somewhere around 3 months in I realized that I had learned so much about weight loss and health that my head was starting to hurt. Not literally! It hit me that I could and needed to share what I had learned and continue to learn with other people.

It’s in my blood, I guess…

I have a natural desire to see others succeed. If I could be the catalyst for people to have a better life then I was going to be that resource.

This is why I am here!

Yes, you will see links on my site for things you can buy from other vendors. Every one of these items I have used and still use myself. If you click and buy them, great, and thank you!

If you choose not to, then I hope the information I provide helps you in some way! My hope is that I can help you become the best healthy form of yourself for you and those you care about. Will you join me?

I hope you can relate and learn to become the best YOU! This is the story of how I lost weight fast and have kept it off…

Just like most people, I dieted and exercised for years on what many call the “Yo-Yo” diet…lose weight, gain weight, lose weight…and so on

I was an athlete in high school and college in two sports…basketball and baseball. While I was never had the chiseled physique, I was a great athlete. I could run fast, jump high, throw hard, and hit with power and I didn’t struggle to round the bases, or move back and forth on the court for the entirety of the games. I would be able to play a 9 inning game on Friday night, and play in a weekend baseball tournament starting on Saturday morning with ease. My body felt like it was invincible.

In college, I put on some muscle. I ate more, lifted more, and gained more weight. I was getting stronger and enjoying the way I looked and felt.

Sometimes life throws you a big curveball, or two…

I stopped going to the gym at school, adopted a much more sedentary lifestyle, but kept eating at the same level I was before. The weight kept piling on, and the muscle quickly became a distant memory.

Fast forward a few years…intertwined with up and down weight gains and losses.

I got married in 2008 to my best friend, Sarah. After our first 2 children, we decided that we wanted one more child. Three sounded like a great number! Well, God had other plans! At an ultrasound exam, the technician informed us that we would be having Twins!!! TWO babies!!! What??? We were super excited and super scared at the same time.

After telling our families, we quickly began planning and got lost in the calamity of now getting our lives and house ready for two newborns. Every week of our almost 33-week pregnancy was filled with late nights and delivery food. From Cheesecake Factory to Olive Garden, and McDonalds to Starbucks, the pounds began to pile on like never before. My heaviest weight was before was 235. At the time the twins were born, on March 7, 2018, I weighed in at 265 pounds and my blood pressure averaged around 155/90. I hated the image of the person in the mirror. Here is my picture, just a few weeks before Christmas in 2018…

Time for Change…For a Start…

Until Summer of 2022 I kept the weight on for another 2 1/2 years. I was fed up with feeling tired, my feet hurting, and my clothes not fitting, I was having trouble sleeping, walking was a chore, and playing in my men’s softball league was exhausting. A drastic change had to be made or I wasn’t going to have the life that I needed to have for myself, my wife, and my kids.

Immediately I jumped on the internet to my favorite place, YouTube, and began doing research. I watched videos of people claiming to have a miracle cure for weight loss. (Those links are on my website menu). Others seemed as though they never struggled with food their entire lives. I heard countless stories of, just do this one thing, or take this one pill! I sifted through the muck to find the information that I felt was credible and doable. That’s when I decided to put what I learned into practice THAT DAY, I STARTED!

STEADY…Lose the Weight…and Fast!

Remember the story of the Tortoise and the Hare? Who wins? Well, in the story it is the Hare, because of his persistence and perseverance, not his speed. He never stopped moving forward and put one food in front of the other. That was my mindset over the last 6 months. I quickly learned that if I kept moving forward and stuck with the process, I would lose weight faster.

I wished that I could’ve gone to sleep and woken up with my body back in great shape. Not possible! However, I was putting myself in the mindset of GO and seeing results fast! I was losing weight day to day, week to week, month to month, CONSISTENTLY!

Here is a picture of my as of December 2, 2022…

Down 40 pounds! However, I am nowhere near done and still moving forward and that scale is moving downward. I feel better every day, and I am loving the new life that I have CREATED! I’ve been honing in on the skills and information it takes to continue to see results day after day.

Will you join me in my journey and create one for yourself? Let’s do this!
