Hello friends and clients,

Talking about weight and wellness can sometimes feel overwhelming, mainly because so much of the conversation focuses on numbers or quick fixes. But at Look Beyond Beauty, we approach weight and wellness from a holistic perspective—focusing on how you feel in your body and supporting your overall well-being.

Maintaining a weight that feels good to you is more than just numbers on a scale. It’s about nourishing your body, staying active, and building habits that allow you to feel vibrant and energized. Let’s dive into some sustainable strategies that can help you feel at home in your body and maintain a weight that reflects your healthiest, happiest self.

Sustainable Strategies for a Happy Weight

1. Nourish with Whole, Nutrient-Rich Foods

Focus on a balanced diet that prioritizes whole, nutrient-dense foods. First, consider meeting your nutrient needs with various fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. I love following an 80/20 approach—80% of your diet is filled with nourishing foods, and the other 20% allows space for fun and flexibility.

2. Practice Portion Control

Mindful portion sizes are less about restriction and more about staying in tune with how your body feels. Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues, savor each bite, and try eating smaller, more frequent meals to regulate your energy throughout the day.

3. Stay Hydrated

Hydration is a simple but essential part of weight management and overall health. Drinking plenty of water supports digestion and helps with energy levels and clarity throughout your day.

4. Mindful Eating Habits

Mindful eating is about being present during meals. Take a moment to savor the flavors, avoid distractions, and listen to your body’s natural cues. This leads to more satisfying meals and fosters a healthy relationship with food.

5. Regular Physical Activity

Find physical activities you enjoy, and make them a regular part of your routine. Whether walking, dancing, yoga, or strength training, aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Movement should feel joyful, not like a chore.

6. Prioritize Sleep

Quality sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight. Lack of sleep can disrupt hormonal balance and trigger cravings for unhealthy foods. Try to aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night, making it a non-negotiable part of your wellness routine.

7. Manage Stress Effectively

Chronic stress can significantly impact your body, from weight gain to unhealthy eating habits. Incorporate stress-relief practices like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to nurture your emotional and mental well-being.

Practical Tips for Daily Life

• Set Realistic Goals. Focus on sustainable, achievable goals rather than quick fixes. Celebrate small wins along the way and be kind to yourself during your journey.
• Build a Support System. Surround yourself with a community that supports your wellness journey. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or your health coach, having people who encourage and hold you accountable makes all the difference.
• Monitor Progress Track your habits and progress in a way that feels good to you. Journaling or using apps to monitor your meals, movement, and emotional well-being can help you stay motivated and mindful.
