Practical And Small Life-style Well being Routine Adjustments

“Building muscle, incorporating more vegetables, making food swaps, and limiting late-night snacking.”

“After having neck surgery (4-level fusion) three and a half months after knee surgery, my body was healing and began working properly. As I healed, I eventually discovered that changing my relationship with food actually worked. I felt full and stopped eating instead of stuffing myself, so on nights out I’d always have leftovers. Then I actually incorporated more vegetables into my diet. My “woman dinner” sometimes was just veggies and hummus. I found low-carb versions of everything and substituted my snacks with konjac jelly, made sandwiches with keto bread, and used konjac noodles in place of pasta.

I also gamified my weight loss with nutrition apps. My goal was to stay under the daily calorie goal in my food log. And I tried to record fat-burning breaths instead of carb-burning breaths when I blew into my Lumen (which measures my metabolic rate). I also became strict with not eating too late at night and maintaining at least 12 hours of fasting. All of these little changes resulted in a 40-pound weight loss in 9 months.”
