Fit in the spring – with strategy and homeopathy to a feel-good body
With the first spring-like days of the year, common sense also returns: “Get off the sofa and into your running shoes – now it’s time to slim down!” If it were that easy … A holistic lifestyle change and homeopathy can help you to achieve your wish fulfill.
Unfortunately, obesity has become a problem in our society. And because it affects so many of us, we just can’t let go of the topic of losing weight. So every year we reach for the best tip, the most promising diet, with the aim of finally feeling good. We want you to make it and finally be able to successfully master this big project. You can read here what is important.
1. Who are you losing weight for?
“Well for me! For whom else?” you are now thinking. But actually that is not so obvious. Some try to lose weight because the doctor has recommended it, others do it for their partner and still others go on a diet because everyone is doing it. This approach will not work in the long run. Because this is about you. You have to want it. The best way to find out whether you really want to lose weight for yourself is to make a list of the reasons that make you want to lose weight and then check whether it is actually your own will that is driving you.
2. Check eating habits
Many people have the impression that they don’t eat that unhealthily but still gain weight. Portions are often too large or “the little things” that we quickly forget, such as unhealthy snacks in between. In order to be able to better assess what you really eat and drink every day, it makes sense to keep a food diary. Alternatively, you can take a picture of everything you eat. It is important that you are honest with yourself and eat and drink exactly as you do during the two months. This is the only way to get a realistic picture. Self-deception will not help you in this case.

3. Set goals
If you don’t know what you want, you’ll never get there. Think about what you want to achieve and write down your goals. It is important that you do not simply say: “I want to lose weight” but formulate specific goals for yourself, e.g. E.g.: “Every morning when I get up I do 3 x 25 sit-ups in 10 minutes.” Set yourself a maximum of three goals at the beginning and don’t set them too high. Once you have internalized and achieved these small goals, you can set more. So it takes longer until you see the first successes, but you will be significantly more successful with this technique than without a strategy.
4. Healthy, balanced diet
If you want to lose weight and then maintain your weight, then you have to get used to a type of diet that is absolutely suitable for everyday use. If you forbid yourself anything sweet and watch the others eat pizza at Italian restaurants, you exclude yourself and will not be happy in the long run. So if you manage to adopt a lifestyle that mainly includes healthy eating, sport and exercise, then a 3-course dinner with a glass or two of wine and brunch on Sunday are no problem.

5. Exercise and sports
Sport and exercise are part of a healthy lifestyle. However, the majority of people move far too little in everyday life. Sport is not only an absolutely important unit for the calorie balance. The combination of strength training to build muscle and endurance training such as running is the ideal mix to get fit. Running has the advantage that you can follow your developments extremely well. Endurance is ideally trained and with the help of running intervals, even beginner runners quickly achieve their first successes.

6. Get support
Such a lifestyle change is not a rush job. It can take three to six months for you to get used to changes and incorporate them into your daily activities. In order to see initial successes during this time, you can get support. For example, homeopathy can help you in a natural way. The homeopathic medicine Fucus vesiculosus D6 is a remedy that helps your body to boost its metabolism. Acupressure can also help you with your weight loss project. Just ask a therapist for advice on the different methods.
7. Motivate yourself
Sport hasn’t been your thing so far and you find it difficult to stick with it? Then get someone on board who wants exactly the same thing as you. You can find running groups on the internet that meet regularly and provide helpful tips – free of charge. Furthermore, you stay motivated by telling yourself every day what you have achieved so far and why you want to continue pursuing your goal. What do you promise yourself? You deserve to lead a life in which you can stand by yourself and feel completely comfortable.
