Health & weight management are extremely broad and complicated concepts to understand and implement.
But, I’m here to make things simple for you.
Here are 3 extremely simple and actionable steps that you can start with right now to get in better shape and optimize your overall health.
Those tips do not demand extreme changes to your lifestyle and can yield exponential results.
- Weigh yourself every morning on an empty stomach.
Studies have shown and proven that people who measure and track their progress on a daily basis are 120% more likely to achieve their goals than the ones who don’t.
Tracking your weight on a daily basis and just being aware of your progress can help you immensely with managing it.
Plus, it is a huge motivator when you can see that you are making progress, as visible progress is not always clear to the naked eye.
Now, don’t be too hard on yourself on the days that you wake up heavier, as sometimes it can be water retention in the body.
But, if you wake up heavier multiple days in a row, that’s a sign that you actually gained weight. So manage your nutrition accordingly.
2. Track your movement using a smartwatch or a fitness watch
Being healthy is not always about training hard and extreme diets.
Most of the time it’s about just moving your body around and cleaning up your nutrition.
But, the main problem is that in today’s world most of our work is done while sitting down on our computers every day, or in meetings… Which demands little to no movement.
This is extremely unhealthy for the body, as we are created and made to move.
That’s why, to help you know if you are moving your body enough, every single day, get yourself a steps tracker, or use a smartwatch and aim for a minimum of 10K steps per day.
Even if you do not have time to go on walks or runs, simply move around the office, take calls while walking, etc…
3. Incorporate superfoods within your nutrition
I am not telling you to stop eating your favorite foods or stay hungry all day.
All that I want you to do is add to your daily nutrition system 2 or more of the following superfoods:
- Leafy greens ex: Spinach, Kale, Collard greens.
- Olive oil (measure based on your calories)
- Wholegrains ex: oats, quinoa, brown rice.
- Broccoli (most people hate it, but nothing can beat it)
- Fruits (very important)
- Organic butter (measure based on your calories)
- Healthy & lean protein ex: chicken breasts, lean meat, diet tuna.
The foods stated above will help you cover all of your basic food intake for the day like your proteins, carbs, fats, and fibers.
Now kindly keep in mind that optimally everything has to be calculated, if not, no worries… Just use them moderately and don’t go overboard with anything.
I have used the same strategies on myself and all of my clients to get in the best shape of our lives.
Of course, that is not everything, as I’ll need to write a whole book to cover everything.
If you want to learn more, send me a message with your question or what you would like to learn more about and I will gladly help you.
Plus If you need a calendar to help you manage what I spoke about above, let me know through message and I’ll send it over to you.

2 年Abed, thank you for this helpful article. I’m a living testament to the weigh every morning. Whenever I’ve gotten into trouble with my weight it has been those times when I stopped paying attention. It is true, what is measured is what gets the attention. I’m now back to weighing every day and I am loving the effects!
