Healthy Weight Management

You do not need to go through severe workouts or drastic dietary procedures in order to control your weight correctly. Your health will benefit from technology, and it will make improvements in other areas of your health, such as providing additional energy, improving the quality of sleep, decreasing stress and making you feel good about making food choices.

Extreme dieting will make you drop the pounds quicker than you want, but you will feel exhausted, irritable, lose muscle and have insomnia. To lose the extra weight in a sustainable way, you will have to make sure that you are consistent with your way of life.

We focus on helping you make small changes to your lifestyle to really make a difference. We provide Qi Gong, Natural Health Coaching, Lifestyle & Happiness Coaching and other complementary therapies to help you manage your stress, increase your mobility, create healthy habits and feel more balanced.

​

Many diets will promise you fast results by cutting out certain foods, making you eat very little and being very strict. Whilst this can result in some people losing weight in the short term, it is often hard to keep the weight off and keep a healthier weight without feeling deprived or tired.

If you cut down on your calories too much, your body will try to protect its energy. This increase in hunger hormones will make you very tired and want to eat more.

If you’re on a diet, you may start to take an all-or-nothing approach. The incident of skipping a class or having unwholesome food can make you believe that all your effort has gone in vain. Thus, such an occurrence can lead to guilt and a desire to forsake healthy eating habits. Sustainable weight loss must be practical and allow for adjustments.

The goal is to create a healthy lifestyle rather than trying to lose as much weight as you can.

​

The best weight management approaches will focus on creating sustainable habits. Choose one or two changes to make.

Maybe you’ll start by having a protein-rich breakfast, 20 minutes of walking after your lunch and going to bed at the same time each night. These seem simple but can really help. Creating small habits will help you not overthink your choices and make healthy choices easy.

This can also be easily incorporated into a tech-filled lifestyle. Set reminders on your calendar to get up from your desk, wear a fitness tracker to track your daily movement or use a meal planning app to make your shopping easier. Your tech should help you create healthy habits.

PainBeGone aims to help you make small changes to your lifestyle to really make a difference. Our Natural Health Coaching will help you create healthy habits in a way that won’t overwhelm you. Weight management is not just about food but also stress, sleep, movement, mindset and lifestyle.

​

One of the biggest myths around weight management is that eating less will help. However, if you’re constantly under-eating, it can make healthy eating harder. Under-eating or an unhealthy diet can make you feel hungry, distracted and more likely to snack at night.

Choosing foods that are nutrient-dense in low quantity is the best possible method. It’s important to make sure that you have lots of vegetables, different fruits, whole grains, legumes, protein-rich foods, fatty foods, etc. on your plate. The more protein and fibre you eat, the less hungry you’ll feel.

Don’t forget to eat a lot of whole grains, legumes, nut varieties, seeds, olives, yoghurt, eggs, fish, and other rainbow foods. One more thing: it’s very important to eat regularly. Practice

Mindful Eating: Try to eat slower and avoid eating whilst scrolling or working. Be aware of your hunger/fullness cues. You don’t have to eat perfectly, but being more aware of what helps your body will help.

​

Don’t push yourself too much; however, make sure you include exercise in your lifestyle so you feel accomplished.

Walking is a great way to manage your weight. It will help increase your circulation, improve your mood and digestion and help you burn more energy throughout the day. Strength training can be helpful to strengthen your muscles, which will make you feel strong, mobile and healthy.

If you are sitting at your computer for long periods of time, try to get up and move around. Try to stand up every hour and do some hip and shoulder stretches. Try to have walking meetings or some light mobility exercises for a few minutes. This will help prevent you from getting stiff.

Qi Gong can be a great way to get moving without putting strain on your body. Combining gentle movement with mindfulness and body awareness, our guided Qi Gong sessions at PainBeGone will help you feel more balanced, increase your mobility, improve your focus, boost your energy and improve your overall physical and mental wellbeing. This can be a great addition to walking, strength training or any other form of exercise.

​

Stress is often overlooked with weight management but can affect the way we eat, sleep, feel motivated and energised. Many people will reach for easy, tasty foods when stressed and won’t move.

Chronic stress can cause tension in your body. You’ll likely feel tight in your shoulders, clench your jaw, have poor posture, suffer from headaches and struggle to sleep. This is why taking a holistic approach can really help.

Our services at PainBeGone focus on helping you relax and improve your overall wellbeing. We offer Qi Gong-inspired activities, Natural Health Coaching, Success Hypnosis, Energy Healing, Sound & Vibration Therapy and Lifestyle & Happiness Coaching. This will help you reduce your stress, feel more balanced and create healthier habits.

There are some simple ways to alleviate your stress. A few minutes of slow breathing before eating will help you calm down. After work, take a short walk outside, write in a diary before going to sleep or relax without any screens. You don’t have to meditate for ages. Taking short breaks to recover will help your nervous system switch out of overdrive.

​

Getting good quality sleep is essential for healthy weight management. Poor sleep can leave you feeling hungrier, lower willpower, affect your insulin sensitivity and make your workouts harder. You’re also more likely to crave quick energy from sugary or highly processed foods.

Try to get into a routine of going to bed and getting up at the same time. Try to create a relaxing evening routine. Dim the lights, put your phone away and avoid eating heavy meals close to bedtime.

If you’re suffering from pain, tension or stress, then addressing these issues can help with your overall wellness goals. Our holistic services at PainBeGone will help you relax, reduce your pain, increase your mobility, boost your energy and feel more balanced.

Whilst good sleep won’t replace eating healthily and moving, it will make it easier. When you’re getting good quality sleep, you’re more likely to cook from home, exercise regularly, manage your stress and make decisions that align with your goals.

​

Using tech is great! Using a pedometer can help you get moving, making sure you’re drinking enough water and keeping a food diary can help you identify patterns.

Use your data. If you find that you are sleeping better by going out for a walk, then use this information to help. If you’re finding that you’re getting cravings when missing breakfast, then adjust your routine. Use this data to help you understand yourself and not make you feel bad.

Don’t use apps or programmes that encourage you to lose weight quickly. A good app will help you be flexible and make realistic progress.

​

Having support can make weight management easier. Whether you want to speak to a coach, friend, family member, wellness community or professional who understands your goals.

Having someone to hold you accountable doesn’t mean they’re watching you. They’ll help you stay on track, celebrate your progress and help you adapt to a busier lifestyle. A good coach will help you create a plan that works for your lifestyle, preferences and body.

PainBeGone will give you one-to-one support from an experienced wellness coach. We’ll also provide you with personal wellness advice to help you create better lifestyle habits, reduce your stress and boost your confidence. If you’re struggling to find a balance between being motivated and consistent, this can be a great way to help you.

​

The scales are just one way to track your progress and can vary due to many factors such as hydration, digestion, hormones, stress and sleep. If you’re focusing on the scales, you may be missing other improvements.

Focus on how you’re feeling. Are you feeling more energised? Sleeping better? Craving less? More mobile? Less stressed? Having better workouts? Feeling in a better mood? Being more confident with your choices? These often happen before any big changes on the scales.

A sustainable approach to weight management will help you become healthier. By focusing on your wellbeing, it will be more enjoyable.

​

Healthy weight management isn’t about finding the perfect diet or pushing your body to the limits. It’s about creating a lifestyle that helps you feel energised, move, sleep, manage your stress and improve your mental wellbeing. Small, consistent habits that include eating a balanced diet, moving in a way that you enjoy, sleeping better, reducing stress and creating realistic habits will always be better than short-term extreme habits.

If you’re looking to create healthy habits without feeling deprived or burnt out, PainBeGone can help. We provide holistic client-focused services using Qi Gong, Natural Health Coaching, Lifestyle & Happiness Coaching and complementary therapies. Our focus is on making small changes, creating balance, improving mobility and providing personal support. This can be a great resource to help you create sustainable wellbeing.

Your body doesn’t need an extreme plan. It needs consistent care, realistic habits and support. Start small and be flexible.
