Worst Health habits: 1. Not hydrating enough in the morning. Best to front-load hydration as soon as you get up and first hrs of the day. Hydrate in-between meals (better than with meals) and taper off hydration before bedtime. 2. Snacking too much. Every time you put food in your mouth, you spike insulin levels. Better to eat two or three very satisfying meals several hours apart. The old advice "small frequent meals " is the worst for your system for many reasons and also often leads to consuming MORE overall calories. 3. Late night eating. 4. Not prioritizing sleep. This is often the most overlooked factor in weight-loss and sadly one of the most important. 5.Prolonged sitting. Avoid if you can! Sitting is the new smoking, it increaes mortality rate. If you must sit for several hours a day for work, force yourself to get up often to stretch, move your muscles, walk around get circulation going. 6. Drinking sugary drinks. Just empty calories that do nothing for youThe healthiest ppl on the planet only drink mostly water. 7. Caffeine for energy 8. Not addressing stress 9. Too much alchohol
Great content! I just found you and the FMP. Your information is realistic and geared toward women in their older years but still want to get into a fit healthy routine. You also are a great speaker. Thank you!😎
Thank you so much for this insightful video! I realized that I am guilty of some of these bad daily habits without even realizing it. Your content has really opened my eyes to the importance of being aware of our habits and working to change them for better long-term health. I will definitely start implementing your advice and working on improving my daily habits. Thanks again for your valuable insight! 🙏
Sleep is the most difficult aspect of good health for me to adjust. The longest I do in a stretch is 6 hours, 5 is average, however, often now sleep twice in a 24 hour period, so it adds up to 8. Every now and then, I'll sleep for a whole day. If I wasn't fully retired, I couldn't do that. In fact, decades of employment trained me to short sleep, stress, and irregular eating of less than optimal foods (like school cafeteria food! - I was an elementary teacher). Takes time to transition. Sugar was the hardest to lose (lots of candy incentives in elementary school), then wheat, then most non-fermented dairy. They instigate inflammation and inflammation makes (arthritis) pain. Pain avoidance is a major motivator in my world. I'd say it's been a two year journey adjusting my diet so that food is medicine, but I'm always learning. For example, chia is most beneficial when ground and soaked; flax when toasted, ground, and soaked. Years of teaching in different places meant I caught a lot of different bugs, so took a lot of antibiotics to combat them. Once I stopped teaching, I stopped getting sick, but a couple of years after I left school, I started having terrible gastrointestinal issues which twice put me in the emergency room and eventually turned into daily misery so I didn't want to eat. Turned out I had 4 different resistant bacteria living in me that required another round of tough antibiotics to eliminate.. Since then, I've been working on building my own good bacteria via fermented foods, green tea, and a bit of supplementation. I think once my gut is balanced, my sleep will balance out, too. Will be power watching your videos now that I've found your channel. Thanks!
Not sure how I didn't find this channel earlier. I love the videos! I am following many other health oriented channels but this one summarizes all of them and in a logical and scientific approach. Great work!
I really enjoyed everything in this video. Shared with family. Thank you for explaining this in simple terms that will help us to remember most of what you said😊
Great points targeting bad habits. As a person who weight trains three times a week, my bad habit is desserts - looking for something sweet after either lunch or dinner, be it a chocolate bar, ice cream, or a piece of honey cake after that meal, at least 4-5 times a week. We (wife and I) try to supplement it with a mandarine or half orange.... but that craving gets bad sometimes 😆... how do I kick it?
I have issue with eating at night as i work 3 nights a week two of them 2am finish and the other 5am finish i have to eat during the night but i normally eat fuit or yogurt!
We have a bunch of people on our program who work graveyard. The key is to establish an ideal MEAL TIMING schedule that will help your body maintain a healthier circadian rhythm. We prepared this private video for our program members. I want to share it with you as i believe you will find it valuable: ua-cam.com/video/8i0wQgBmKVg/v-deo.html
I notice that when i have a later and bigger meal my sleep is not good. But if i do a light snack 1-2h before bed i sleep well. And concerning wine, if i drink 1 small glass of red wine, sleep better also... but if it is White or beer, i sleep póorly... so i think it depends.
Hey Lindsey, thanks for writing in and great question! Unfortunately, this is a question probably better suited for your doctor as only they will know you and your situation best after delivery. Congratulations to you and thanks for watching! -The FMP Team
Hi @Lindsay start with the perfect plate concept, drinking plenty of water and daily walking, that for sure will help you to. get back on track with your weight 👍
Good information. How about having veggie and wheat bread sandwich or 1/2 a cup of milk late at night around 10 pm because I am too hungry after dinner at 5-6 pm?
Hey Pamela, thanks for writing in and great question! If you are still feeling hungry in the evening after consuming dinner, the easiest way to help combat this is by either eating larger, fuller meals (i.e. combining the calories from dinner + your typical evening snack into one) or ensure you are hydrating even more. This can help keep your stomach lining expanded to ward off hunger. We recommend consuming half your body-weight in ounces + 32 with a max of 150oz/day. And in terms of healthy eating ideas, check out this video: pulse.ly/teigi0ijfy -The FMP Team
Hey Kimberly, thanks for writing in and great question! The peddling is great to burn some extra calories and promote some blood flow. And it's certainly better than sitting still! However, your muscles/bone structure are still compressed when in a sitting position so getting up/walking around every hour is still recommended. -The FMP Team
Okay THATS SIMPLY NOT TRUE! Eating late at night!!! Bull shiet!!! I have worked out (weights & running) ate like Keto WAY BEFORE it became a fad. & i ate mostly late nite 10 pm. I was 97 lb. 10% BODY FAT & 50 years old

Thank you for the video. What about smoking cigarettes?
So, I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I desperately want to lose weight after this baby. When should I start the program postpartum?

@@FitMotherProject I know I can start the diet now and that will help with BF-ing. Do I need to buy anything to learn how to do the diet?
Hi @Lindsay start with the perfect plate concept, drinking plenty of water and daily walking, that for sure will help you to. get back on track with your weight 👍
Nice work! I nixed wine-time 7 years ago, best decision!!

What if you do peddling well you sit?
Hey Kimberly, thanks for writing in and great question! The peddling is great to burn some extra calories and promote some blood flow. And it's certainly better than sitting still! However, your muscles/bone structure are still compressed when in a sitting position so getting up/walking around every hour is still recommended.

And we have children sitting for hours in school
Okay THATS SIMPLY NOT TRUE! Eating late at night!!! Bull shiet!!! I have worked out (weights & running) ate like Keto WAY BEFORE it became a fad. & i ate mostly late nite 10 pm. I was 97 lb. 10% BODY FAT & 50 years old
You lost me when you said the Typical - Generalized no late eating. Misinformation
Great video!
Thank you very much 🙏
