What is My Philosophy when it comes to Midlife Weight Management and Health?
I think it is important to lay out the principles that underpin my work with mid-lifers when it comes to approaching weight loss and management. Check out my video and learn my 5 key principles. I have summarised in text below too.
The principles are summarised as follows, but do watch the video for a more thorough explanation:
The 'Mindful' approach, i.e. a conscious monitoring of what we do and don't eat, does not work over the long term for 9 out of 10 of us.
Energy in versus energy out matters, but we are all different and being too extreme in our approach (as advocated by many diets) can have negative consequences
Adopting a more 'mindless' approach to our food through designing our food environments to nudge us to mindlessly eat less is proven to be a n effective approach.
Research shows that we tend to consume 80% of our food within a 5 mile radius of our home, therefore we don't need to change the world - just our key food zones within this radius.
our overall aim is to restore a sense of enjoyment and relaxation around our food habits. Less 'shame,' 'secrets' and 'splurging.'
