Get Your Metabolism Moving
Are you struggling to reach your weight loss goals? It could be due to poor metabolic health. But what exactly is metabolic health? It refers to how well your body processes glucose, the sugar that fuels your body. Poor metabolic health can increase your risk of developing conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and cancer.
How to Navigate Weddings
First things first. You must decide what kind of experience you are “OK” with having. If you decide you want to let loose by taking a break from your regular eating routine, do it. By all means, put on your best outfit and dancing shoes and enjoy. We aren’t here to judge (unless an unfortunate video of your dance moves ends up on social media). The moral of the story, be “OK” with having fun and be “OK” with the consequences.

Changing habits can be difficult! Whether you’re trying to start something new or kick a habit to the curb, it’s sometimes tough to know where to begin.

5 Hard Truths About Fat Loss
