Lose WeightAre you dieting?
Believe it or not, most people are not on a diet these days. Instead the focus has switched to healthy eating. A new market study shows most people are turning away from “extreme” diets and focusing on long-term weight management. Here are the percents:
Today 10 years ago
29% of women are on a diet 35%
19% of men are on a diet 23%
I am also surprised to see how the definition of a “healthy weight” has shifted. Sixty-two percent say a healthy weight is when you physically feel good, while 27% say a healthy weight means staying within a small ideal weight range.
Tired of changes that don't last?
This is a great opportunity for me to plug my weight loss programs, which focus on healthy eating for the long term, not a short term diet for results. Building habits like this supports both a healthy weight and a healthy heart over time.
So, where do you fall? Are you sticking with the “diet” mentality? If so, why? Or, have you moved into healthy eating for the long-term?
All the best,

Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, my dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
