"I want to lose weight, I don't know where to begin."

Start here.

1) Eat more whole foods. Start to incorporate more fruits & veggies into all of your snacks and meals. You don't have to fully "eat clean", just start to include more. Whenever you have the choice to choose between a whole food or processed food, choose the whole food.

2) Drink more water. Plain water. Not juices, not coffee, not tea, just water. How much more? Just more. Don't worry about the technicalities. Try to drink more water throughout the day.

3) Be more active. Walk when possible. Stand when possible. Take the stairs when possible. Sure taking the stairs this whole week isn't gonna do much for your weight. But keep that up for a year? For two yours? You bet it makes a difference. A huge difference.

4) Pick up an exercise & do it consistently. Exercise does not mean the gym. It can be anything. A jog, a dance class, a martial arts class, cycling, hiking, wall climbing, yoga, aerobics, anything. Pick your favorite. Make it a thing that you do x times a week.

5) Sleep more. Lack of sleep can cause you to crave for foods you usually don't crave for or be hungry at times you usually aren't hungry. Sleep is the best natural supplement out there. 6-8hrs daily, consistently. It's better than any supplement out there in terms of long term health and weight loss.

6) Strive for consistency, not intensity. Harder is not better. Consistent is better. It's not better to go 100% only to last 3 months and burn out. It's better to go at 20% but last the whole year. Consistency reaps results, and aids sustainability. After all if your goal is to lose weight, I assume you wanna lose it forever. Right?

Losing weight doesn't have to be some complex diet meal plan or some complex exercise routine that you must stick to at all times. It's changing habits one at a time. It's finding the balance between what your body needs and what your heart wants.
