Starting a weight loss journey, for anyone, can be difficult. Ask me about it. I am the Queen when it comes to weight loss. Unfortunately, my history of weight loss meant yo-yo dieting and fad diets — not the healthiest way to go! But, I’ve learned a lot since those days. I don’t want you to fall into the same pitfalls I did and so today, I want to give you some healthier options.
You may be worried about dropping the weight, struggles you have had in the past, or if you can maintain the weight loss. Maintaining was a big one for me, but thankfully, I have learned how to maintain my weight in a much more healthy way.
One of the steps you may want to consider is using superfoods to help boost your journey. If that is on your to-do list then there are some things you should know about using the superfoods to the highest potential. Here are a few of those tips.
Juicing
Juicing is the leading way to lose weight with superfoods. This is due to the fact that you can cram a ton of superfood fruits, vegetables, or a mix of both into one juice. You can also add chia seeds, infused oils, or vitamin and supplement drops into the juice.
The juice can be enjoyed easily and will help to not only get the nutrients and superfood benefits to your body easily but will also fill you up. You aren’t ingesting empty calories, and best of all you are hydrating your body at the same time. Juicing will help up your hydration and your output of liquids so you are flushing your system.
Remember though, I am talking about juicing your own foods and not buying the sugary-version found in the supermarket!
Mix the Right Superfoods
The first thing you need to keep in mind before starting with superfoods is to do your research. Consider what your personal issues are and work from there. For example, if you are retaining water or have a high level of inflammation, then go for superfoods that counteract that and help flush your system naturally.
If you need more iron, think of iron-rich kale. If you are a vegetarian or vegan and need to boost certain minerals and nutrients, then you need to move to those specific superfoods. Just grabbing a handful of superfoods will help, but if you really want to drop the weight, you need to pick the ones that are designed for your weight loss plans and issues.
Space them Out
A key point to keep in mind when going on a superfood-type weight loss journey is to space out your superfoods throughout the day. For example, if you get all your superfoods in during the morning juice or smoothie plan you have, you are likely to deplete them before dinner. This leaves you feeling tired and dragging without the benefits you need to get through the rest of the day. Instead, space them out in each meal of your day and make sure you are getting a bit of what you need each time you are drinking or eating. This will help feed your body what it needs, cut down on cravings, and help you to remain full and energized throughout the day.
These are just a few of the ways you can use superfoods to help with your weight loss journey. Remember, you want to keep the right balance of nutrients in your diet along with calories. Research your options and create a meal plan that does serve both uses for your own weight loss journey and needs
