When you break it down there are two key points to weight loss; energy goes into your body and energy goes out. Here are a few natural tips to help both parts of the equation work in favour of losing weight.

Put the right energy in for healthy weight loss = Healthy eating

We all want to make healthy choices, but what’s healthy for you? One consideration is the amount of energy your food provides. If you are trying to lose weight, a diet that meets your energy needs is important. Consuming energy dense foods (such as dried fruit, chocolate and concentrated fruit juices) can tip the balance from giving you the right amount of energy, to storing it as fat. Consider snacking on fresh fruit which is less energy dense than dried, dilute juices with water and look for treats without added sugar. The amount of energy you consume however is only a part of the story… Food choices that promote healthy blood sugar balance can also help weight loss. Choosing high protein foods like nuts, fish and eggs instead of carbohydrate dense foods such as bread and biscuits, can help promote healthy blood sugar levels. For personal advice on healthy food choices consider seeing a Naturopath, who can give you individualised guidance on healthy eating.

An appetite for healthy weight loss with Garcinia

The amount of food we consume is also important, both for maintaining a healthy weight, and losing weight. The key is to eat the appropriate amount of food for you, it’s simply not healthy to over-eat or under-eat. People have used the herbs Garcinia quaesita and Garcinia Cambogia to naturally help weight loss by modulating their appetites. It’s the hydroxycitric acid (HCA) that provides the appetite inhibiting action. Fusion Weight Loss has been standardised to HCA and Garcinol –which amplifies the weight loss action of HCA by 45%.

Energy out for fat burning = Activity and exercise

Activity and exercise is vital for weight loss. Activity burns up energy from your food, and sustained ‘chat pace’ exercise also burns body fat (the type of exercise during which you can comfortably breathe and talk, like a long slow jog for example). Weight-bearing exercise also helps build muscle mass, an active tissue that increases your metabolism, supporting weight loss.

Burning energy with Green Tea and Green Coffee

Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) and Green Coffee (Coffea canephora) contain thermogenic compounds which help transform fat into energy. They can actually help boost your metabolism and influence fat burning**.
