Successful Weight Loss in Kingston WA

The amount of fad diets and articles online about weight loss is almost insane! (try googling it and see how many results come up!) Despite what the media will tell you, there is no magic pill or fad diet for healthy, long-term weight loss. The best approach is healthy eating and lifestyle changes along with increased activity. (And it isn't limited to taking in fewer calories than the calories burned!)

A large part of successful weight loss is boosting the body's natural metabolism, which is how well your body converts the food you eat into energy instead of being stored as fat.

Two main factors influence your metabolism: The amount of work your lean muscle mass does, and the balance of hormones from your thyroid and pancreas. The muscles of your body use the most energy of any tissue to do work. By increasing your activity, even for just a 30-minute walk, you give your body's metabolism a boost for the rest of the day. Also, there are also some natural supplements we use to balance and control the hormone levels in the body as a supplement.
