The Ugly Truth About Balancing Your Diet
Can you drop 10 pounds in two weeks? Sure, probably. Should you? Most likely not.
Unless you are morbidly obese and being strictly monitored by your doctor, extreme weight loss is an unhealthy goal and can lead to real damage to your body.
Why am I opening with this? Because I want to convey the importance of not only losing weight, but losing weight in a healthy and sustainable way. It’s not enough to shed a few pounds. If you don’t do it the right way, you risk gaining the weight back… or worse.
In order to stay healthy and in order to maintain long-term weight loss, you have to balance your diet and make sure you are getting everything you need to nourish yourself and stay healthy. Below, I am going to discuss four tips with you for keeping your diet balanced and your body healthy during your period of weight loss.
