And the #1 tip from Rachelle Wood Nutrition for Weight Loss is:
Today, #1: Live a wholeheartedly healthy lifestyle and remember that health is a process which requires daily dedication.
Healthy living isn’t an overnight process – it’s a lifestyle choice. So, choose to be healthy: to exercise regularly, eat more vegetables, fibre and good-for-you foods instead of junk, drink lots of water, and be excited about being healthy!
Remember,
You must desire to be healthy before becoming healthy!

We’re into the top 2! It’s time to get excited about being healthy!
Today, #2: Eat a healthy, balanced diet full of whole, live, natural foods.
Avoid processed and pre-packaged foods, artificial sweeteners and white products.
Eat organic food more often and support your local farmers.
It’s important to eat a balanced diet for optimal health. Organic produce is better for you and full of fill-you-up fibre so you’ll stay full longer on less food. Pre-packaged and processed foods never give you the nutrients that you need to stay and be healthy – they’re just a quick fix that will leave you hungry again soon.
And, as always, support your local growers and get out to your local farmers’ market. You’ll get to meet one on one with the people responsible for the food you eat, so you can be confident in its nutritive value and help out people close to home at the same time.

We’re moving into the top 3 tips, hoping to get you motivated, informed and ready to live healthy!
Today, #3: Engage in some form of physical activity everyday.
Include strength training and cardio in your routine.
Supplement with a metabolism booster to increase energy and if you exercise 5 hours per week consider taking CLA.
It’s important to exercise every day, whether it’s a 20 minute walk or run, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or a fitness class. Exercise will improve your weight loss results and get your body in great shape, giving you more energy and confidence.
Balance your routine with both strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Strength training is important to help build muscles (which can burn calories when you’re not working out!) and give you better tone and definition to your muscles. Cardio workouts will help your entire cardiovascular system – your heart and circulation can get stronger.
If you’re exercising more than 5 hours a week, talk to Rachelle about taking a CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid) to improve results. Don’t take any supplements without first talking to your Registered Holistic Nutritionist or health care provider.
Get out and get moving!

We’re getting through the top 5 now.
Today, #4: Drink more room temperature water, 8-10 glasses per day will do.
Our bodies need a lot of water to properly flush out toxins and keep us moving. It’s important to drink good quality water so consider getting a water filtration system for your home (as simple as a filtered water pitcher, or whatever best suits your needs). Bring a reusable water bottle with you when you go out and fill up when you get the chance, and keep drinking!
Room temperature water is more ideal than cold water, as our bodies are a much higher temperature than the water we’re drinking so it can be a bit of a shock to our systems.
Make a habit of drinking room temperature water when you first wake up in the morning to get a good start – and keep it up throughout the day!

Today, #5: Increase your fibre consumption by including more whole grains, beans, legumes and vegetables in your diet.
Fibre is important for keeping your digestive system in top form. Gradually increase the amount of whole grains, beans, legumes and vegetables you eat regularly to make sure you’re getting the most from all of your foods.

Today, #6: Supplement daily with a health food store grade multivitamin and essential fatty acid (Omega 3-6-9), flax seed or hemp seed.
It’s difficult to live a busy life and get the proper amounts of some vitamins and essential fatty acids. The best way to ensure you’re getting everything you need is to take a high quality multivitamin and an essential fatty acid supplement every day. This way, you can be confident that your body is getting everything it needs as you live a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise.

Today, #7: Aim to eat 5-6 small meals per day or every 3-4 hours.
Never skip breakfast as it starts up your metabolism for the day.
Research has shown that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast can make you sluggish, and may make you more hungry throughout the day, causing you to eat more calories than you need.
Eating small amounts frequently keeps your blood sugars, digestion and metabolism at optimal performance throughout the day. Your digestive system will work better, and you’ll feel better for it.
If you don’t regularly eat breakfast now, start off with something small in the morning. Try a piece of fruit with yogurt, or a muffin with a glass of milk. After your body adjusts to having food in the morning, you can gradually add in things to have a complete and balanced breakfast to get you off to a good start. Have healthy snacks throughout the day between main meals, and try to eat at the same time each day.
