Throw out that weighing scale!!


HOW THROWING OUT THE WEIGHING SCALE
WILL HELP YOU LOVE YOUR BODY!



You are not defined by your weight – yet many people see that number on the scales as a measurement of their self-worth. This obsession increases your cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and makes weight loss and maintenance difficult.

I used to be there. I’d see that silly number on the scale as a reflection of my self-esteem and insecurity. All that worry did me zero good – in fact, it was a huge stressor.

If you weigh yourself and don’t like the number you see, you’re likely to feel less motivated to make healthy choices. You might write the rest of the day off, And feel negative or emotionally overeat. It’s a toxic cycle that breaks down that relationship with food and your body.

Throw out the scales.

It’s such a simple, yet super powerful tool that will help you heal your relationship with your body and food. Especially if you’re working on building up your self-confidence, body love or working on any insecurity. Give your body a chance to balance out, and stop focusing on your weight so much. It’s not worth it.

When you make a decision to live a balanced, active life, your weight will naturally balance out. It will be much more consistent.

It may go up and down by about 2 kilos due to fluid, hormonal changes, and dehydration. This is normal, but if you’re leading a healthy lifestyle, your body will get back to its ideal weight soon enough. (Remember, muscle weighs more than fat! Your healthy body may weigh more than you think it should)

So, my advice is to give up the scales for at least 3 months, you will be amazed at what happens. Suddenly your body relaxes, your relationship with food starts to settle down and anxiety decreases – this all helps you feel much more connected to your body.

The pressure of numbers and scales is incredibly taxing and exhausting on the body.

Rather, give thanks for your body and everything it does for you on a daily basis (it really is incredible!), and monitor your body by how your clothes fit. Let that be your gauge.


Remember, obsessing = stressing, and stress (cortisol) = fat storage.

HOW I STOPPED STRESS EATING! The next time you sit down to eat a meal, do one thing for me: connect with your body and become aware of how you’re feeling. Are you feeling stressed or relaxed? Are you holding on? Is your stomach starting to clench? Are you feeling scared /anxious? Is your heart racing? Or perhaps you feel calm and present? You may be excited about your food or you may start to feel guilty about what you are about to eat. These are some of the emotions I used to feel every time I sat down to a plate of food.

Judgment around food causes stress which makes it actually harder to di...

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist

6 quick beauty tips by a Nutritionist I’m a firm believer that beauty starts in the kitchen. The relationship between the food we eat and the way we treat our bodies is inevitably reflected in our outward appearance. What we put in is what comes out, and that’s why these tips really makes a difference in how I look and feel.   1.        Drink more water.  Staying hydrated is the easiest and most effective beauty tip, in my opinion. In order to achieve that healthy glow, your goal is to consume about 2 litres of water a day. It’s easier than you think to meet your hydration goals – herbal tea counts, and so do fruits and veggies. That’s right, fresh produce also has a high water content! Think leafy greens, citrus fruits and berries to boost beauty. 2.        Eat (and drink) more greens.  Not only do greens help you hydrate, they also contain so many beautifying vitamins and nutrients tha...
