We've got some great lifestyle tips that aren't as difficult to follow as you may think.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some have nothing to do with food or exercise!<\/p>\n<p>Remember, fad diets and &#8220;miracle cures&#8221; usually aren't effective, especially long-term.<\/p>\n<p>But using time-tested principles of weight loss does work.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the facts about simple weight loss principles can help you reach your goal weight in no time!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>These 7 principles of nutrition are always true, no matter what your diet consists of!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VbVfzew6JPE?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Lifestyle Weight Loss Principles<\/h2>\n<p>Adopting simple lifestyle habits increases your chance of reaching your ideal body weight, as well as reducing the risk of weight regain.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>Getting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/exercise-and-sleeping-patterns\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">right amount of sleep<\/a> is a simple lifestyle change you can make to maximize weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>Getting recommended amounts of sleep is one of the best ways to keep your hormones, and thereby hunger levels, under control.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep can also improve your mood, improve mental focus, reduce your risk of accidents, and give you the energy needed to stay active.<\/p>\n<p>Set a regular bedtime and allow yourself at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.<\/p>\n<h3>De-Stress Daily<\/h3>\n<p>In your daily routine, have a go-to stress-reduction strategy that keeps your stress levels under control.<\/p>\n<p>Ongoing stress is a risk factor for weight gain. It can also alter your hormones and increase cravings for junk foods.<\/p>\n<p>Find a stress-relieving activity that you thoroughly enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>It could be spending time reading, getting a massage, taking a hot bath, gardening, or going for a walk outside.<\/p>\n<p>You might also try yoga, tai chi, or meditation!<\/p>\n<h3>Take a Break From Sitting Every Hour<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4519030\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that sitting down too often is a risk factor for chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself sitting down too much, take activity breaks about every hour to get your body moving.<\/p>\n<p>Climb stairs, go for a quick walk, do wall squats or pushups, or do jumping jacks to keep your blood pumping and your metabolism high.<\/p>\n<h3>Have Your Hormones Checked<\/h3>\n<p>If your hormones aren't balanced, whether you have low thyroid hormone, low estrogen, or other hormone irregularities, it can diminish your weight loss success.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor can check your hormone levels using a simple blood test.<\/p>\n<p>Getting treatment for hormone problems can make weight loss much easier!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\"

Busy \u2014 But Not Too Busy!<\/h3>\n<p>Keep yourself busy with activities (preferably active ones) to avoid eating because of boredom.<\/p>\n<p>Involve yourself with kids' activities, fun family outings, outdoor chores or hobbies, exercise groups, volunteering, your career, or other activities that prevent you from having too much downtime.<\/p>\n<p>However, avoid an overly busy schedule by taking time for yourself to destress, unwind, and relax!<\/p>\n<h3>Weigh Yourself Every Day<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4380831\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that weighing yourself every day can improve weight loss, as it keeps you accountable for moving toward your goal.<\/p>\n<p>While you won't notice a huge difference in the number on the scale each day, get into the habit of daily weigh-ins anyway and record the results!<\/p>\n<p>If you notice a body weight trend in the wrong direction, make additional lifestyle changes to get back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Weigh yourself at the same time each day to obtain the most accurate reading.<\/p>\n<p>Aim to lose about 1-2 pounds each week until you reach your goal weight!<\/p>\n<h3>Only Eat When You Feel Hungry<\/h3>\n<p>Before eating anything, take the time to listen to your body's hunger cues.<\/p>\n<p>Are you eating because you're truly hungry or because you're bored, tired, stressed, or feeling emotional?<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself eating for emotional reasons, stop what you're doing and try another stress-relieving strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Examples include taking a hot bath, going for a walk outdoors, getting a massage, meditating, doing yoga, sitting in a hot tub or sauna, or listening to music.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

Weight Loss Principles<\/h2>\n<p>Adopting the following diet weight loss principles is a surefire way to drop weight and maintain your goal weight for life.<\/p>\n<h3>Consume Coffee or Tea<\/h3>\n<p>Drinking unsweetened coffee or tea can enhance weight loss for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/coffee-benefits\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">numerous reasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee and tea (without added sugar) are very low-calorie drinks, but the caffeine in them gives you a quick energy boost.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30335479\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies<\/a> show that caffeine helps reduce body weight, body mass index (BMI), and body fat.<\/p>\n<p>It also enhances athletic performance and gives you the energy needed to get through intense or long-lasting workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid drinking caffeine late in the day, however, as it can keep you up at night and make it difficult to get a good night's sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Drink Water Before Meals<\/h3>\n<p>Many people don't drink as much water <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/the-power-of-water\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as they should<\/a> to stay healthy and reduce the risk of weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>Increasing your water intake can enhance weight loss, as doing so helps you feel full without the extra calories.<\/p>\n<p>If you drink water before meals (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23826600\/#:~:text=Drinking%20500%20mL%20of%20water,an%20easy%20to%20implement%20intervention.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies<\/a> show that drinking about 2 cups of water before meals is beneficial), you're likely to feel full sooner and eat fewer calories at mealtime.<\/p>\n<h3>Consume Less Bread<\/h3>\n<p>Reducing your carbohydrate intake is an effective weight loss principle for many people, which is why limiting bread can help you shed excess body weight.<\/p>\n<p>Eliminate white bread from your diet entirely.<\/p>\n<p>If you do keep bread in your meal plan, choose whole-grain bread that's higher in fiber.<\/p>\n<p>Additional fiber-rich starchy alternatives to bread include black beans, pinto beans, lentils, peas, corn, sweet potatoes, brown rice, wild rice, and quinoa.<\/p>\n<p>To further reduce carbs for weight loss, boost your intake of non-starchy vegetables (spinach, cucumbers, mushrooms, bell peppers, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, zucchini, tomatoes, etc.).<\/p>\n<h3>Eat More Protein and Fiber<\/h3>\n<p>Protein and fiber both fill you up without extra calories and enhance calorie expenditure, as well as fat-burning.<\/p>\n<p>Protein helps you build and maintain muscle mass, keep your metabolism high, and help your body recover properly after exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Choose protein-rich chicken, turkey, fish, seafood, very lean red meat, eggs, tofu, or seitan.<\/p>\n<p>Dairy foods, legumes, nuts, seeds, and nut butter, as well as low-sugar protein bars and shakes prepared with <a href=\"https:\/\/store.fitmotherproject.com\/collections\/weight-loss\/products\/superfuel-protein?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protein powder<\/a>, are also excellent sources of protein.<\/p>\n<p>Good sources of fiber include whole, plant-based foods. Examples include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes.<\/p>\n<p>Include protein- and fiber-rich foods at each meal and snack whenever possible to reach your goal weight and maintain it for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4896\" class=\"elementor elementor-4896\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-26833fd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"26833fd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29736be\" data-id=\"29736be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-863d091 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"863d091\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e8d132 elementor-hidden-mobile_extra elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"3e8d132\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c0e816 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0c0e816\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"167\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/banner-img-superfuel.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4897\" alt=\"\" \/>\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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ede787 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0ede787\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"69\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/banner-arrow.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4886\" alt=\"\" \/>\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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6d75d8\" data-id=\"c6d75d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07280d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"07280d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><u>Meet SuperFuel. <\/u> The <em>Delicious Protein Shake<\/em> Packed With 40+ Energy-Boosting Vitamins & Superfoods (Designed For Busy Women)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb10a2f elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-widescreen elementor-hidden-tablet_extra elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bb10a2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"167\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/banner-img-superfuel.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4897\" alt=\"\" \/>\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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38c36d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"38c36d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a busy women, it\u2019s challenging to stay consistent with healthy eating.

Sugar-Sweetened Foods and Drinks<\/h3>\n<p>Consuming too many foods and drinks sweetened with added sugar can take a toll on your weight loss efforts, and your waistline, which is why reducing these foods is one of the most important weight loss principles you can adopt.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce or eliminate regular soda, sweet tea, sugar-sweetened sports drinks, and other sugar-sweetened beverages, as well as candies, cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, and other sweet treats.<\/p>\n<p>While you don't have to eliminate desserts entirely, limit them as much as you can during and after your weight loss journey.<\/p>\n<p>Choose fresh fruit, 100% fruit juice, dried fruit without added sugar, water, coffee, tea, or protein shakes instead of sodas, diet sodas, and sweets.<\/p>\n<h3>Eat Dairy Foods or Plant-Based Alternatives<\/h3>\n<p>Consuming dairy foods can enhance weight loss, as well as fat loss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3847755\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that dairy food consumption is linked with reductions in body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, abdominal fat, hip circumference, and waist circumference.<\/p>\n<p>Aim to eat dairy foods or plant-based alternatives about three times daily.<\/p>\n<p>Choose milk, plant milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheese, or shakes made with whey-based <a href=\"https:\/\/store.fitmotherproject.com\/collections\/weight-loss\/products\/superfuel-protein?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protein powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Dine Out Less Often<\/h3>\n<p>Dining out at sit-down or fast-food restaurants too much can hinder weight loss, as it's difficult to know exactly which hidden ingredients are in the foods you order.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5453830\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that frequent dining out at restaurants is associated with higher body mass indexes (BMIs).<\/p>\n<p>If you do eat out at restaurants, don't do it all of the time and make nutritious choices when ordering from the menu.<\/p>\n<p>Order fresh fruits or vegetables, as well as protein-rich foods, at each meal.<\/p>\n<p>Don't order soda, lemonade, or sweet tea.<\/p>\n<p>Steer clear of fatty cuts of meat, processed meats (hot dogs, salami, regular bacon, ham, sausage, etc.), fried foods, white bread, white rice, gravy, and other white sauces.<\/p>\n<p>Limit or avoid sugar-sweetened condiments like barbeque sauce, ketchup, honey mustard, sweet relish, and many types of salad dressings.<\/p>\n<p>Order sauces and dressings on the side.<\/p>\n<h3>Nix or Limit Alcohol<\/h3>\n<p>Alcohol can be part of your lifestyle if it's important to you but limit or avoid it as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol adds unnecessary empty calories to your meal plan, and it might make you crave junk foods.<\/p>\n<p>Many types of alcoholic mixers, such as soda and lemonade, are sweetened with added sugar.<\/p>\n<p>If you do drink alcohol, limit your drinking occasions to once weekly if you can, and choose wine, light beer, or alcohol mixed with club soda or other calorie-free mixers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"3479\"

Activity Weight Loss Principles<\/h2>\n<p>You probably already know that keeping your body moving is crucial for effective weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>The following specific strategies can enhance weight loss effectiveness, improve muscle-to-fat ratios, and reduce your risk of weight regain.<\/p>\n<h3>Be Consistent<\/h3>\n<p>Consistency is key when using exercise as a weight-loss principle.<\/p>\n<p>If you don't have much time for workouts, make it a priority in your schedule anyway, even if you have just 20 minutes to exercise on your busiest days!<\/p>\n<p>Work out every day (or nearly every day), preferably at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on Cardio<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/how-much-cardio-to-lose-weight\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cardiovascular exercise<\/a> is important for your heart health, and it's also one of the highest calorie-burning workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Begin with just 15-20 minutes of cardio daily and work your way up to longer or more intense workouts as you get into better shape.<\/p>\n<p>Choose cardiovascular exercises that you most enjoy, such as power walking, cycling, aerobics classes, jogging, or using an elliptical, rowing, or stair-climbing machine.<\/p>\n<h3>Resistance Train Regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Skipping resistance training can hinder weight loss, as well as fat loss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/free-weight-workouts-for-women\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strength training<\/a> is an excellent way to reduce muscle loss, improve muscle definition, and increase your body's metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>While weight training is one of the best ways to strength train, you can also use resistance bands or even your own body weight as resistance!<\/p>\n<p>Aim to strength train at least 2-3 times per week and work all major muscle groups.<\/p>\n<h3>Find Workouts You Enjoy<\/h3>\n<p>If you don't enjoy working out, you're less likely to stick with it long-term.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it's important to choose workouts that you love.<\/p>\n<p>Any type of exercise is better than not exercising at all!<\/p>\n<p>You might enjoy swimming, cycling, roller blading, or stair climbing.<\/p>\n<p>Using an elliptical or rowing machine is another great option.<\/p>\n<p>So is weightlifting, aerobics classes, kickboxing classes, yoga, Pilates, dancing workouts, or adult sports leagues.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

Do this for at least 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you're not into HIIT and prefer moderate-intensity continuous training instead, it offers the same advantages for weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>Simply work out for a longer amount of time when choosing moderate-intensity continuous training.<\/p>\n<h3>Exercise with Your Family<\/h3>\n<p>Make exercise an enjoyable activity you can share with your entire family.<\/p>\n<p>Doing so helps you, your spouse, and your kids stay motivated and in shape.<\/p>\n<p>Go for family walks or have younger kids ride their bikes while you jog.<\/p>\n<p>Swim together or go rollerblading, skiing in the winter, or paddle boarding during the warm summer months!<\/p>\n<h3>Try a Sit-Stand Desk<\/h3>\n<p>Sitting down too much can reduce your chance of achieving an ideal body weight.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a desk job or use a computer a lot during the day, consider getting a sit-stand desk.<\/p>\n<p>Doing so helps you sit down less often and burn extra calories

Health Weight Loss Principles<\/h2>\n<p>Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, as getting in the right mindset is a primary key to effective weight loss.<\/p>\n<h3>Set Goals<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most important weight loss principles that will increase your chance of success is to set goals during your weight-loss journey.<\/p>\n<p>Choose your ideal weight!<\/p>\n<p>It might be a weight that you feel most comfortable with, your lowest adult weight, or a weight that puts you within a normal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/assessing\/bmi\/adult_bmi\/english_bmi_calculator\/bmi_calculator.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body mass index<\/a> (BMI) range.<\/p>\n<p>You might also set eating, exercise, sleeping, water intake, or stress-relieving goals, as well as goals for work\/life balance.<\/p>\n<p>Write down your goals in a journal and track your progress along the way!<\/p>\n<h3>Get Outdoors<\/h3>\n<p>Spending time outdoors can do wonders for your emotional health and wellness, so make sure to get outside every chance you get.<\/p>\n<p>Find active outdoor hobbies or simply make it a point to go for a walk, even if it's just a short walk around the block with your dog, on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Make Note Cards<\/h3>\n<p>Consider making note cards that explain all of the advantages you can expect after you reach your goal weight.<\/p>\n<p>Write down things like more energy, more self-confidence, better clothes, a longer life expectancy, and a better overall quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the note cards with you and read them every day, or simply on the days you're struggling to follow your weight loss plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease Up On a Busy Schedule<\/h3>\n<p>If your schedule doesn't allow you to follow a healthy meal plan, exercise daily, get at least 7 hours of sleep each night, or take time to relax, chances are your schedule is too busy.<\/p>\n<p>While it's often difficult to say no to activities, it's important to make time to take care of yourself and your family.<\/p>\n<p>Lighten up a busy schedule if you have to!<\/p>\n<h3>Try Yoga and Meditation<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to improving strength and flexibility, doing yoga can help you mentally de-stress too!<\/p>\n<p>The same holds true for meditation.<\/p>\n<p>Consider doing yoga on days you feel overly stressed or try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/guided-sleep-meditation\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-loss-principles&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guided sleep meditation<\/a> before bed!<\/p>\n<h3>Seek Treatment If You're Depressed<\/h3>\n<p>Depression is a common mental health challenge that affects nearly everyone at some point.<\/p>\n<p>And depression can hinder weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>If you can't overcome depression on your own and it doesn't go away, don't feel bad about asking for help.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor might recommend lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, medications, counseling, or combinations of these treatments to improve your mood and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n<h3>Get In a Weight-Loss Mindset<\/h3>\n<p>Being in the right mindset is half of the battle when it comes to achieving your goal weight.<\/p>\n<p>Find out what motivates you to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>Get in the mindset of daily exercise, dietary changes, and sticking with your weight loss plan long term.<\/p>\n<p>Find workouts and nutritious foods that you love to make your weight loss journey as enjoyable as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a difficult day or week and get off track, don't give up.<\/p>\n<p>Stay in the right mindset and know that weight loss is possible for anyone with the right mindset and weight loss plan in place.<\/p>\n<h3>Have a Strong Social Support Network<\/h3>\n<p>It's difficult to get through life without a social support network of encouraging, supportive family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Surround yourself with people who love you and want you to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Spend time with your family and friends with similar health, nutrition, and fitness goals as you.<\/p>\n<p>If you don't have the supportive social network you desire, joining the <a
