Ultimately, it\u2019s all about habits, and seemingly tiny behavior modifications are more impactful than any fad diet in the book.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Habits Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As someone who works with clients every single day (and who has lost weight myself), I know it\u2019s our <em>behaviors<\/em>, not certain foods themselves, that hold power over our weight. Otherwise, I\u2019d be able to hand any client a meal plan and they\u2019d follow it flawlessly, no problem.<\/p>\n<p>However, many of us start our weight-loss journeys with the baggage of long-established habits and thought patterns. These patterns affect our relationships with food and our bodies\u2014and ultimately our overall health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/men-women-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Why Do Men Seem To Lose Weight More Easily Than Women?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What many of us don\u2019t realize, though, is that these patterns are simply the results of a repeated of triggers and rewards.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an ice cream commercial we saw on TV one night after dinner may trigger us to grab dessert. The sugar boosts \u2018happy\u2019 chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, and before we know it, we find ourselves mindlessly eating ice cream on the couch every night.<\/p>\n<p>Though these small, seemingly simple habits can be tricky to unravel, rewiring them makes a massive difference in our weight-loss long-term.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Focus On The Triggers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, if you want to lose weight, I suggest you think not about the foods that trip you up, but the <em>behaviors<\/em> that sabotage you.<\/p>\n<p>If you sacrifice sleep to watch Netflix, hit snooze every morning, or lack an outlet for managing stress, you put yourself in a position to make some pretty questionable food choices. From there, it\u2019s all downhill.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>So, if you eat ice cream every night, don\u2019t focus on the ice cream itself, but why you eat the ice cream. When you consider the ice cream commercial and \u2018happy\u2019 chemicals that have essentially hijacked you, everything changes. Suddenly, you can see your nightly ice cream as a trigger-related habit, not a reflection of crummy willpower.<\/p>\n<p>And once you understand the <em>why <\/em>behind these behaviors, you can start to break them down.<\/p>\n<p>If hitting the couch after dinner makes you feel like you need a bowl of ice cream, skip the couch altogether and go for a walk or read a book. Or, make yourself a cup of tea, instead.<\/p>\n<p>Address the trigger, change the behavior!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Top 10 Habits For Successful Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though we all have unique goals, schedules, and relationships with food and exercise, there are a few basic, healthy habits we can pretty much all benefit from. Here are 10 to start working on.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Add Fruits &amp; Veggies To Every Meal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every time you eat\u2014whether it\u2019s just a snack or a full meal\u2014make sure to include a fruit or vegetable. Produce is high in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/fiber\/N-cp99ju\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fiber<\/a> and water, takes time to eat, and fills us up. Plus, by adding produce to every meal, we leave less room on our plate for not-so-healthy foods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Incorporate Healthy Fats<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to fruits and veggies, start adding healthy fats\u2014like avocados, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/nuts-trail-mix\/N-cp99lk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nuts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/nut-butters-spreads\/N-cp99ls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nut butters<\/a>, hard-boiled eggs, pre-portioned guacamole cups, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/seeds\/N-cp99l6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chia seeds<\/a>\u2014to your snacks and meals. Though old school diet culture told us to fear fat, it\u2019s vital for our brains and bodies\u2014and also helps us feel full and satisfied.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Switch To Smaller Plates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Research shows we tend to fill up our plate\u2014and finish our helping\u2014regardless of the size plate we use. Switching to smaller plates means you\u2019ll automatically cut down portions\u2014and still feel satisfied that you got to eat everything on the plate!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Order From The App Menu<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Given the outrageous size of certain restaurant portions, I often encourage clients to stick to the appetizer menu when eating out. Often, you\u2019ll be served enough to be satisfied, but not over-stuffed. Side dishes and the kid\u2019s menu are fair game, too!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Consider Grocery Shopping Online<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you find yourself easily-tempted at the grocery store\u2014and end up loading your cart with sandwich cookies and the like\u2014try ordering your groceries online. It might help you avoid the impulse buys we often make when strolling up and down the aisles.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Drink Water Before Meals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most of us walk around dehydrated, a sensation we often mistake for hunger. To address the issue (and avoid unnecessary snacking), pre-game each of your meals with a tall glass of water.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Make An \u201cAfter Dinner\u201d Rule<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you eat a healthy, balanced dinner that includes vegetables, healthy fats, and quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-powders\/N-cp99j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein<\/a>, you should feel satisfied enough to make it \u2018til bedtime without a snack. In my experience, most of the calories we consume after dinner are simply reactions to triggers like commercials or habits. Usually, they\u2019re mindless and empty. If you find yourself wanting to eat out of boredom, get up off the couch and do something else.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. Incorporate Sprints<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most of my clients totally phone in their workouts, falling into the habit of jogging or working out at a generally slow, steady pace. By adding one-minute surges to your workouts (I recommend at least two or three of them), you\u2019ll elevate your heart rate and force your body to work harder. In the long run, this extra demand only increases your results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>9. Walk And Talk<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To cut down on the time you spend sitting each day, make a habit of standing and walking around when you talk on the phone. Get yourself a headset or a pair of headphones, and every time the phone rings, get up! Stand or pace until you hang up. Every bit of extra movement helps.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>10. Try A <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/you-can-meditate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Meditation<\/strong><\/a><strong> App<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This habit works double-duty by helping us become more aware of our thoughts and habits! Plus, meditation also helps us manage stress, which is often a trigger for emotional eating. Start with just five minutes of meditation per day. Soon, you\u2019ll feel better able to observe and understand your relationship with food, triggers, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Making Healthy Habits Stick<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just like the not-so-healthy habits we develop, healthy behaviors need to be triggered into action until they become part of our routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/carbs-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How To Eat Carbs And Still Lose Weight<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where to start? First, make a list of habits that might be holding you back\u2014like eating in front of the TV or running to the vending machine mid-afternoon. Then, identify a healthier habit that addresses it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you choose which of these healthy habits to focus on first, set up a system of reminders to help you make them happen. Set reminders or alarms in your phone to fill up your water bottle throughout the day or put a post-it notes on your snack cabinet that ask if you\u2019re <em>truly<\/em> hungry.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of these positive triggers, you\u2019ll be on your way to drinking more water, cutting out unnecessary nighttime snacks, and more in no time.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
