One thing we keep hearing from people as home isolation continues, is the concern about gaining weight...
Similarly to the "Freshman 15," where people go to college and start gaining weight in the dorms, people are worried they are going to put on extra pounds due to being cooped up at home.
While this is a legitimate concern, as long as you take the proper precautions you can ward off the weight gain.
So we are here today with a couple quick tips to help keep your weight in check...
Quick Tip #1: Almonds for Weight Loss
New research shows that adding almonds to your diet may not only aid in your weight-loss efforts, but also reduce your body fat and cinch your midsection significantly.
The 24 week study, published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, included 65 adults who were either overweight or obese.
Half of the participants in the study ate a low calorie diet plus 84g/day (about 3 ounces, daily) of almonds or a low calorie diet plus their choice of complex carbohydrates. Both groups consumed the same amount of calories and protein.
At the end of the study, the almond-eaters enjoyed a 62% greater reduction in weight, 50% greater reduction in waist circumference and 56% great reduction in fat mass compared with the group consuming the complex carbohydrate alternative.
Getting the Weight Loss Benefits of Almonds
To target your tummy and boost your weight-loss efforts, trade in your “energy” bar for nutrient-dense, raw organic almonds. A one ounce serving is about 1/3 of a cup or a small handful.
Quick Tip #2: Guard Your Mind
A lot of how we gain and lose weight comes from our subconscious mind.
In fact, if your mind has unhealthy messages about food and bodyweight buried in your subconscious... then your body may be working against you while you're stuck at home, or even if you're sweating it out at the gym.
It's almost as though your body is giving you an excuse to put on extra fat...
This is an insidious phenomenon, but it haunts so many people.
Follow Healthy Habits
There is always something we can do to lose weight faster, even if you're stuck at home.
Once again, it all starts with mindset.
