Stop making these common weight loss mistakes to finally lose weight successfully. | Edukale

I once told a friend of mine that it's important to make exercise fun and he looked at me like I had grown an extra head. lol

These points are great. Totally agree. I’ve been maintaining a healthy weight for around 7 years now and I’ve been both overweight and clinically underweight as a result of my past ED and I will say now that I do not count calories, I practice mindfulness and intuitive eating because that for me stops me from hyperfocusing/orthorexic tendencies. I focus on balance throughout the overall day and week rather than specifically per each meal. I don’t count macros, I don’t restrict food groups (except I’m pescatarian so I don’t eat meat except fish). I aim for 10k steps a day (approximately but I do not obsess over it) in combination with yoga and some hiit but I’m intuitive with my exercise too and I dont plan it in excess. I also learned how to cook and bake and this also totally healed my relationship with food. I haven’t felt guilt with food in so long and if anyone is still on their recovery journey, keep going you’re doing great and you will get there xx❤

[@Bonnieuxful]

Good for you that you’re eating with common sense. I stay away from yoga because it’s dangerous spiritually, and have asked Jesus into my heart. God bless you❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕

You are doing SO good, thanks for sharing and inspiring 💜

Getting to 160 lbs...wish me luck...14 lbs. to go! 😊

Good luck!

I appreciate the common sense information that you provide. For instance, you can eat primarily whole food plant-based, but that doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. The occasional dessert or refined carbs is OK.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Thank you, and yes, absolutely!

[@ReachtheThirdLevel]

i hope i can get to a point one day where i don't obsess over every meal and everything i consume. baby steps!

[@jessicamadrigal4185]

That used to be me. Trust me when I say this, it gets better. Baby steps indeed.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Keep on working on your relationship with food (I have a playlist!) it will get better!

Good idea

[@Edukalebylucie]

I added that specific idea to the list, thanks! In the meantime, this video on weight loss might be helpful since the main intention is never the actual weight loss, just healthier eating habits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH2aiKpjqLSohpo

Biggest challenge for me was to relearn my hunger and fullness cues Spent over 12 yrs in New York where portions are just so much bigger and as a poor college student, the ‘all you can eat’ diners etc knocked the much healthier European approach to food I was brought up with… sadly, also some of the old rules instilled by my grandmother of eating all that was on my plate meant that due to the much larger portions in the States, I essentially ended up consuming almost twice the calories I would normally have… but live and learn…

[@soutenu_ninja5678]

This made me chuckle a little.😊. I have an ED 😢. I laughed at myself 😮. Great video tho

Food is the most powerful medicine! Moving from the ideal of being thin equals beautiful to healthiness’ beautiful. I think considering that everyone is a very different beauty, in terms of weight, in terms of size, look. I’ve noticed that women are getting skinny thinner and thinner. There’s also so much information about different diets, and overwhelming and confusing… Its good aware of a good diet is to inspire women to make changes to their diet and also their lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep based on hormone, health, longevity, beauty as well as skin in the future.

[@Edukalebylucie]

Yes, I agree with you, we should prioritize health over thinness!

[@jessicamadrigal4185]

Hey Lucie! I'm a college student (a very busy one at that) and I'm very lucky to be a healthy eater. The only struggle I have is getting full at meals. Sometimes I'm in such a rush I can't finish a meal, or if I do, I'm still hungry or want more. I wish there are quick, easy, healthy meals out there but the only things I can think of are protein bars (healthy ones at least) and oatmeal (which I hate lol). I know you probably won't have an answer for this but do you have some kind of solution for this?

[@Edukalebylucie]

Maybe this video for eating healthy when busy can help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZq2qZ57oLpgr8U best of luck with college!

[@lancegoodthrust546]

What do you think about intermittent fasting? I just finished 2 weeks of eating only every other day. I ate whatever I wanted but now I'm starting with healthier options. Is that considered a "yo-yo" diet?

[@vv-yz3qu]

if you feel comfortable & happy with it it is for you it's okay not to necessarily follow the majority vote or even doctors opinions it's about you

[@Bonnieuxful]

Eat with common sense, like she said💕🥰💕

[@alinap.7298]

Intermittent Fasting is my lifestyle, not a short yo-yo diet. So if you adjust your fasting hours by inly a little, but do not quit, you should be fine with I.F. permanently 👍

I'm not a fan of IF, here's a video I made about it if you want more info! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z52umoRqh7Ofe6c

QUESTION!! How do I lose fat if I like eating a lot and I'm trying to not overeat snacks I like -any advice? however i cant rlly listen to my hunger cues because it takes a long time for me to get hungry after a meal e.g. 10 hours

[@marcellaoreilly2730]

Are you relying on snacks? Or are you eating mindlessly (I.e. reading, scrolling, watching TV?) focus on eating smaller meals throughout the days rather than bigger meals that will curb snacking altogether. Usually snacking is your body’s way of compensating for what you aren’t intaking(more often than not it’s protein and healthy fats like nuts, seeds, oily fish) if you eat smaller portions of these you probably won’t even crave snacks x

[@dqgamingpkxd1146]

​​@@marcellaoreilly2730You know what you're right. I have not been eating healthy at allll and just relying on snacks because its convenient. I'll try my best to eat healthier meals and more balanced meals!

[@marcellaoreilly2730]

@@dqgamingpkxd1146smaller meals like for breakfast could be one egg, 1 or 2 slices of toast Lunch: 2 tablespoons of pasta/ rice or a medium potato, portion of meat/ spoonful of veggies and dinner: portion of meat, spoonful of veggies or salad and handful of nuts. If you fancy a treat go ahead! Don’t deprive yourself either: i.e fun size chocolate bar/ 2 squares of chocolate or a small bag of crisps xxx

​​​@@marcellaoreilly2730Thanks once again, I'm currently following these tips and I have less of an urge to snack and when I do it's in moderation + I'm eating healthier and smaller meals!

I agree with the other comments, focusing on balanced meals instead of snacks is a great first step, and this video can help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH2aiKpjqLSohpo
