I am often faced with clients who tell me they are not losing weight as fast as they want to or expected to for the effort they are putting out. The frustration is real and can lead to returning to old eating habits. My first response is usually, "if you go back to eating the old way, you are likely to regain all the weight you have lost thus far. We don't want that."
I have been thinking a lot about eating habits for weight loss lately. A recent Salt Lake City client suggested that the reason that she was having trouble implementing the nutrition recommendations I had given her was because of her ingrained eating habits. She has a habit of eating late at night once her husband has gone to bed and can’t seem to stay away from the kitchen.
Have you ever found yourself munching from a bag of chips while checking emails, when suddenly you realize the bag is empty? This is called mindless eating. When you think about it, we set ourselves up for these events. This means we can prevent them from happening if we are aware of our own pitfalls.
