Do you want to lose weight naturally in four EASY steps? This pro guide will help carers lose weight naturally in the best way possible.

Losing weight can be difficult but with our pro tips and guidelines, you can do it comfortably in four simple steps that are recommended by experts and give FAST results.

Let’s not waste any time and get going towards those four EASY and simple steps, which will ensure results quick.

In short, you need to do the following to have the best chances of losing weight naturally:

  • Appetite Control
    Right Nutrition
    Correct Exercises
    Consistency

Appetite control is controlling your craving and desire for food. This is a crucial element in how you can lose weight naturally. A pro tip is eating small meals (but the right meals) or healthy snacks throughout the day. This will not only help you lose weight naturally will also help you control your appetite.

In order to have the right nutrition, you must eat the right things to lose weight naturally. A rule is to avoid the following foods if you are serious about quickly losing weight:
It’s simple; you have to completely cut off (for faster results) or limit the four whites things in your diet:

  • Sugar
    Salt
    White Flour
    Baking Powder containing foods

The next step is to exercise. Exercise boosts up your weight loss journey.

It really benefits in boosting up your metabolism and assists in having a healthy, strong, toned body, clearer skin, increases your stamina, makes you happy, and much more. Mixing a set of these exercises would be really excellent in combination with running for a proper cardio experience.

The very last step is consistency. It is to adhere to your goal and do not go off the track no matter what happens.
To stay consistent, set small goals every day and achieve them, this way, you will feel accomplished and slowly, being on track will become easy,

It would be very difficult for me and others carers to follow these rules.

We carers just don’t get the chance and time to sit down and eat healthy meals and often a mars bars is a way of treating yourself.
I do all the cleaning will have a mars bars as a treat.

My caree wants to eat unhealthily chips/fried food, if I was to eat healthy then would mean cooking 2 separate meals adding to my burden and there are arguments.
It is often easier to give in and eat chips than having arguments about me being a health freak.

Nutrition, I am sure if you checked vitamin levels you would find many carers deficient in vitamins and minerals, don’t have the money or the time to eat healthily.

Exercises, no money to go to the gym or get a personal trainer, often too exhausted to do exercises.

To actually get outside and go for a walk/run impossible if our caree cannot be left on their own.

Consistency, again if our carees are more ill than usual, or we are trying to battle with the NHS or social Services any planning goes out of the window, trying to set and keep goals just impossible.

It is a lovely idea having fit and healthy carers but just not possible, looking after often multiple carees 24/7/365, just leaves us drained and exhausted unable to eat healthy and exercise.
It is a viscous circle, if we were able to eat healthily and exercise, we would be fitter and probably be able to care better but we just don’t and can’t.

If we weren’t caring and shattered all the time, we would be able to live a normal life!

The number one “pro tip” should be to speak to your doctor or a qualified health professional before making dramatic changes to your diet and/or exercise routine because you could otherwise be endangering yourself.

Not just considering that many of us have either diagnosed health problems or underlying (brewing) but we have a very diverse age demographic within this community alone (young adults up to 80’s/90’s?) and I believe there are even a small number of centenarian carers out there (frightening!) so please be careful!

And personally if it means anything, I think it helps if you want to do something for yourself, not because somebody else thinks you should… because they aren’t the ones which have to be motivated to stick with it as a meaningful life change, you are

Best wishes and stay safe

Yes was going to suggest that talk to your GP first.

And often they can do Exercise on prescription, free gym for so many weeks.

Or cheap/free swimming.

Sometimes they can give you free membership to a well known diet club.

All part of trying to make Britain healthier.
