The current trend in society is lump everyone into the same category and give them a standards list of tasks in order to lose weight.  Watch your calories, exercise, don’t eat high fat foods, etc.  But, when it comes to weight loss and our bodies, we are all individuals.  Because we are so unique we need personalized weight loss plans that are tailored to our personal needs.  And that it is even truer for women.  A women’s body functions differently than a man’s, and as such she needs a personalized weight loss plan made specifically for her body.  Not only does our genetic makeup affect our ability to lose weight, but our lifestyle and emotional makeup play huge roles as well.  Of course environmental factors can contribute as well.  Figuring out all the influences and triggers can take time and effort.  However, once you get to the bottom of your personal weight loss struggle you and your weight loss coach can create a personal weight loss program that will quickly and easily help you achieve success.

We are all different

It is easy enough to see that we are all created differently.  One person might eat a dozen cookies and barely gain a pound, while another might look at a cookie and gain ten pounds.  This is because people metabolize food differently.

Personalized weight loss

So with all the different programs on the market, the do it yourself plans, fad diets, television shows, not to mention a weight loss center on nearly every corner it is easy to get lost in the cookie cutter mold of traditional weight loss.  However, you want to select a program that is going to give you a personalized weight loss plan targeted at your specific needs.  The plan should include both a meal and exercise program that is tailored to you and your lifestyle and your body.  You may not find the perfect fit on the first try.  You may have to adjust and change your program multiple times to find the right path to success.

Regardless of your personal struggles with weight loss you can achieve success.  The following are some dietary and lifestyle choices that might help you increase your ability to achieve that success quickly and efficiently.

Contact your doctor.

You always want to consult with your doctor before starting any new weight loss program to make sure the program is healthy for you.  Additionally, spending some time with your doctor can help you better know your unique physiology.  You can determine if you have any metabolic imbalances and then by sharing that information with your weight loss coach you can create a nutrition and exercise program personalized to your needs.

Hormonal Imbalance

If you determine that you have a hormonal imbalance you might want to add herbs and supplements to your weight loss program.   Sometimes hormonal imbalance, stress imbalance, or even neurotransmitter imbalances can cause your metabolism to slow down and that makes it harder to lose weight.  However, adding supportive herbs and supplements can help your metabolism to balance out and get you back on track to losing weight.

Eat

No matter how much weight you feel you need to lose you have to eat.  Never skip a meal.  While most people think of losing weight as cutting calories you can only cut so many calories before you become counterproductive.  If you cut too many calories the body believe that it is starving and will actually slow your metabolism and store fat in order to not starve.  The best plan is to eat healthy.  Three meals a day in addition to two healthy snacks each day is ideal.  Foods high in fiber will help you feel full longer.

Exercise

Exercise is an integral part of weight loss.  It doesn’t have to be overwhelming and it may take you a while to find the right exercise that you can enjoy and burn calories.  Don’t be afraid to look outside the box to find the exercise program that works for you.  Not only will exercise help you to burn calories, but it releases endorphins that will help you feel better and it can re-set your metabolism to make losing weight easier.

Get plenty of rest

As odd as it sound rest is a vital part of weight loss.  The body needs a chance to reset itself to function properly.  Adequate amounts of sleep will restore your metabolism, help to alleviate hunger, and give your body a chance to regenerate.  Numerous studies have shown that people who do not get adequate amounts of sleep tend to eat more and struggle more with overwhelming cravings.

Achieving Success

In the end weight loss is individual.  You may struggle, or feel discouraged.  You may reach a plateau and think that success will never come.  You might have moments where your determination falters followed by guilt.  No matter what you’re feeling you can achieve your weight loss goals.  Finding the right personalized weight loss program is going to be the key to your success.
