Look Beyond Supplements

November 5, 2023

When you take a closer look at supplements, they have a lot more in common with get-rich-quick schemes than a lot of us want to admit. Even when they seem to work, more likely than not it's because you tweaked your diet or started moving a bit more. That's why we need to drop the idea that there's a quick fix to weight loss.

Your journey to a healthier body includes more than taking a pill or trying the latest supplement trend. It's about thinking of food as a fuel for your body to help you get through the day, and treating your body with some TLC. Unlike fame, money, or power, your body is yours and yours alone and it carries the history of your habits and beliefs.

Weight loss supplements sell you on the idea that you don't have to change your habits and beliefs, and that's what makes them so dangerous. This illusion of comfort makes you feel it's okay to have one more snack, skip one more day, be a little less committed. Over time this saps your motivation until one day, there is no cost to giving up--so you do.

When you take a clear look at your daily demands, fuel your body accordingly, and work through it sustainably, the weight will naturally shed as your body adjusts to your new habits and beliefs about who you are and are not, what you eat and what you don't eat.

In the end, those weight loss supplements might seem tempting, but the real deal is a bit more down-to-earth. Choosing to eat well, move a bit, and treat your body with some kindness – that's the secret sauce for feeling good and staying healthy.

No shortcuts, just a friendly journey towards a happier you.
