Protein Power- Incorporating a variety of quality protein sources will lead to feeling more satiated. We can lose weight on the scale, but if we are lacking protein, we may also be losing muscle. A diet rich in protein is key for maintaining muscle mass, strength, and health while in a caloric deficit.

Sweet Dreams - Quality sleep of 7-8 hours per night will lead to a more regulated appetite, wiser choices around food, enough energy to move your body, and ensure you are recovering well.

Strength is Key - Preserving muscle mass is extremely important while embarking on your fat loss journey. The weight or inches that you are losing should be coming from fat, not our muscle mass. Aim for 2x strength based sessions per week.

Move Every Day - Walking outside each day is going to be greatly beneficial for your physical and mental wellbeing. Increasing your activity through walking, parking further away, cleaning, cooking, and daily living is going to make fat loss easier! Our bodies are made to move.

Stress Less=Live More - Of course stress is a part of life, in fact, not all stress is "bad". Stress becomes a problem when we do not have any regulation or coping strategies. If we do not have tools to manage our stress or emotions this will inhibit our fat loss goals. As well as have a significant impact on our health and wellbeing.

Including mindfulness or reflection based activities daily will be beneficial.
