For anyone who has gone through a weight loss transformation, you know how life-changing it can be. If you haven't had this experience but are considering giving it a try, I'm going to explain to you just how drastically weight loss can change your life.
How You Feel
One of the first things you will notice as you begin to lose weight is you will simply feel better. Annoying things like heartburn and bloating will become less frequent. You won't get tired as easily. Daily tasks will be easier to complete.
For example, I was training a client recently and while taking the stairs at the gym, this individual looked at me and said enthusiastically, "I can take the stairs without getting out of breath!"
Confidence
We've all had that moment of being embarrassed thinking about taking our shirt off at the beach. If not embarrassed, at least not excited about the idea. Think about not only being okay with taking your shirt off, but being excited to show off all your hard work!
Imagine stepping out of the shower and being excited by what you see in the mirror instead of disappointed. Imagine having your clothes fit comfortably and not having to tug at them constantly to make sure you stay covered up. For many people, the confidence that's gained is the most important aspect of losing weight, but there are even more benefits, so let's continue.
Disease and Chronic Illness prevention
As if the immediate benefits of weight loss weren't enough, weight loss, when coupled with exercise, can also help prevent many life-threatening conditions such as colon, prostate, and breast cancer [1] [2] [3] [4], type II diabetes [5], high blood pressure [6], high cholesterol [7], high triglycerides [7], heart attack [8], stroke [9], sleep apnea [10], Alzheimer's [11], dementia [11], and many others.
Disease and Chronic Illness Reversal
You may be thinking, "Well, what if I already have one of these?" The good news is that weight loss, coupled with exercise, can actually help manage or even reverse most of the above conditions such as breast cancer, type II diabetes [5], high blood pressure [6], high cholesterol [7], high triglycerides [7], sleep apnea [10], Alzheimer's [11], dementia [11], and others. This means you'll be able to enjoy how you look and feel for many years to come.
