It&#8217;s still something I have to be mindful of every single day, but having the key insights that Happy Belly Health provided me has made all the difference.&nbsp;<\/em>\u2014<em> Gina S., Los Angeles<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>How to Build a Better Body Image<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A lot of our clients come to us asking for help fixing themselves, and that makes us cringe, because finding your ideal body size should not be about \u201cfixing what\u2019s wrong,\u201d but instead about becoming the healthiest version of you\u2014regardless of how much body fat that entails.<\/p>\n<p>Still, body image is a big issue for a lot of people, so we take it seriously. In this series of five newsletters, we\u2019ll address the great divide between how we think we \u201cshould be\u201d and what\u2019s actually healthy and possible for each of us.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Point #1: It&#8217;s Good If It Feels Good (Your Body, that Is)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Being happy with your body is about feeling good, having energy, and being healthy. And that\u2019s what we want for you. But what\u2019s right for your body might be different than what\u2019s right for another person\u2019s. Creating your own optimal eating, exercising, and general lifestyle habits means learning more about food, your body, and how the two work together.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there are some general guidelines that seem to work for most people, and they include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cutting waaaaay down on all&nbsp;flours, sugars, and sugar substitutes (eliminating them entirely if possible). Replace with more nutrient-dense, filling foods.\n<br><br><\/li>\n<li>Front-loading your eating with a breakfast that contains ample healthy proteins and fats\u2026 then eating less later in the day. Skipping breakfast or having too much of a &#8220;diety&#8221; meal won&#8217;t work in&nbsp;the long run.\n<br><br><\/li>\n<li>Balancing what you put on your plate at every meal, including a generous helping of green leafy vegetables\n<br><br><\/li>\n<li>Drinking lots&nbsp;of plain water\u2014and a lot less caffeine\n<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Maybe you already know this stuff. Maybe you\u2019re already even doing some of it. But if you want a helping hand, and a lot more detail, we invite you to join us in our Curb Your Cravings Program. More info below on that, and stay tuned for the next email in this series, coming soon!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happybellyhealth.com\/hbh-staging\/curb-your-cravings\/\">CURB YOUR CRAVINGS\u00ae<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lose Weight for the Long Run<\/p>\n<p>Learn to Eat for Nutrition &amp; Enjoyment<\/p>\n<p>Trying to lose weight?
