Weight Loss Versus Being Healthier?

As a weight loss coach I get clients coming to me who want to lose weight.  As I standard question, I ask them why they want to lose weight.  The most common answer I get is because I want to be healthier.

Here is where the catch comes in.  People want to lose weight to be healthier…. But it really is backwards.  You need to be healthier first before you lose weight.  Say what!!!

I know it almost seems like the, which came first the chicken or the egg scenario.  But I’ve noticed there are a lot of things us humans tend to try to do backwards. 

If you want to lose weight there are steps you need to take for that to happen.  Lots of people think it’s just eat less and exercise more and that should do the trick. But if you have trying to lose weight for a while now, then you know that just doesn’t really work.  You need to change your eating habits first.  You first need to stop over eating, and you need to start eating foods that are better for your body.  

When you start feeding your body food that is better for your body, you start to get healthier.  When you start to get your body healthier, then guess what?  That is when you start to lose weight.

Although most people are searching for weight loss…. They really need to start with getting better health first.  Weight loss is a side effect of good health.  No need to diet.  Just need to treat and feed your body better.
