The benefits of weight loss go far beyond just looking great in front of the mirror or achieving a certain weight on the scale.<\/p>\n
Weight loss improves so many aspects of your life, from decreasing chronic health problems to improving mental health and enhancing self-esteem.<\/p>\n
While having a number as a weight loss goal can be a good starting point, there are so many more non-scale victories (NSVs) that you can celebrate along the way.<\/p>\n
Strength gains, improved health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol, decreased body fat percentage, and an enhanced sex life are just a few NSVs most people don't think of.<\/p>\n
So instead of just watching the scale, set new health goals along the way in your weight loss journey, because the scale may not always be picking up these huge fitness victories.<\/p>\n
Keep reading to learn more about the many benefits of weight loss that are so much more than what the scale tells you!<\/p>\n

Heart RX will provide you with the natural support to improve all aspects of your heart health – including: blood pressure, healthy cholesterol, and better circulation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Click here to learn more about Heart RX<\/strong>: the powerful & research-backed formulation<\/strong> of 15+ ingredients that improve your heart's health for optimum functioning \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n Losing weight isn\u2019t all about just shedding fat.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also about building muscle and creating a fit, strong body.<\/p>\n Exercise and resistance training will not just help you lose weight but will give your body muscular definition.<\/p>\n Increasing muscle mass will give you a lean, fit physique, and strength training will help you maintain muscle mass while you are trying to lose weight in other areas.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that you burn some serious calories during a tough workout session.<\/p>\n But in addition to that, regular exercise will increase your lean muscle mass.<\/p>\n This in turn increases your resting metabolic rate and further aids in weight loss.<\/p>\n This means that by losing fat and gaining muscle you will burn more calories, even at rest, and maintain your weight loss goals.<\/p>\n \t\t In just 6-weeks on our FOUNDATIONS<\/u> Program, you'll transform your health and body, for the rest of your life!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Sleep affects our bodies and our minds in so many ways.<\/p>\n It plays a role in our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n Exercise and weight loss can help improve your sleep patterns and have you feeling more rested each morning.<\/p>\n In addition, weight loss and improved sleep can form a positive feedback loop that enhances more weight loss.<\/p>\n For example, if you are trying to lose weight, adequate sleep is essential to reach these goals.<\/p>\n Sleep deprivation can alter hormone levels that impact hunger and metabolism<\/a> and increase abdominal fat.<\/p>\n This in turn can have a negative effect on your weight loss goals.<\/p>\n However, losing weight and normalizing your sleep patterns can keep your hormone levels in check.<\/p>\n Plus, if you don\u2019t get enough sleep this can slow fat loss<\/a> even if you are following a good nutrition and fitness plan.<\/p>\n So even if you are doing everything right with your diet and workout plans, you can sabotage this with poor sleep habits.<\/p>\n Find out why sleep is important and how getting enough quality sleep can help you lose weight.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
