Confused about weight loss? We’re not surprised as the dietary information offered today is conflicting and confusing.
The supermarket shelves are littered with diet products and miracle weight loss shakes. Maintaining a healthy weight should be simple for everyone and we’ve created a resource section that offers real guidance that you can implement immediately.
Side note: There are no shortcuts to success. Health is a lifestyle not a life sentence. If you are looking for a quick fix, then sorry, this information is not for you. But, if you are willing to be open-minded and try new things, we have a resource here that could help change your life forever – Guy
Before you Start… Is your body ready to lose weight?
This may seem like an unusual question but if your digestive system (your gut) isn’t healthy you will struggle to lose weight. An imbalance of gut bacteria arises from the use of antibiotics, lifestyle and bad food choices. Diet soda is a big culprit in destroying good bacteria due to the artificial sweeteners (you can read our thoughts on diet soda here). How can we fix this? Have your gut health checked with any good naturopath before you embark on your weight loss journey.
Our Naturopath Tania explains the importance of gut health here.
