Rapid weight loss inevitably leads to health issues. Proper lifestyle approaches, such as nutrition, physical exercise, and stress management methods, can help maintain optimal weight and health, states Ukrainian nutritionist Natalia Samoylenko.

How to lose weight safely

A safe weight loss pace is just 15% of body weight over six months, so avoid chasing rapid results.

Proper lifestyle approaches with a nutritionist, including diet, exercise, and stress management, can help maintain optimal weight and health.

The nutritionist emphasized that weight normalization should focus on health. The expert also outlined five factors that influence safe weight loss.

Choose the right diet

The term "diet" translates from Greek as "way of life." Therefore, choose a lifestyle and diet that are sustainable and safe for long-term health.

Healthy eating is a continuous process

According to the expert, there is no end goal in healthy weight and eating. Understand that this is a long-term process that should be enjoyable. It's also important for the diet to be both delicious and nutritious.

Prepare yourself

Preparation is key. You might need to consult a doctor, undergo tests, check hormone levels, and assess how ready your body is for this process.

Motivation and inspiration

Reaching your goal will be much easier with a positive attitude. Being inspired by those around you and having a supportive environment will make achieving a healthy weight easier.

Avoid self-criticism

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes people may deviate from their diet or find themselves in situations where they need to eat a cake. Enjoy these moments, but return to healthy eating the next day and continue working towards your goal.

Often, in the quest for results, people impose strict limits on themselves, leading to setbacks and a return to old habits and guilt.

A compassionate approach to your body and health will help achieve long-term results.
