Essential First Step to Enable Weight Loss

Going Beyond Calories for Weight Loss

Have you ever tried restricting calories (i.e. eat less food) to try to lose weight? How did that go for you?Well, you may have heard that calories aren’t the only important part about nutrition for losing weight. You also know that some type of eating healthy food is probably important along with reducing calories to lose weight.

What I want to share with you today is the essential first step to take to enable weight loss. And it’s not just about less calories— it actually has very little to do with calories!

I’m talking about blood sugar balance.

Blood Sugar Balance for Weight Loss

What do you think of this idea that your weight loss efforts are hinging on blood sugar balance? You may think that it can’t be true, that it’s rather about willpower, or all just about dropping calories. Or you might even say, Victoria— my blood sugar is always normal when I see my doctor!

I want you to know that blood sugar balance really is critical. We can’t lose weight unless we start with supporting blood sugar balance. This is essential for EVERYONE, not just people who already have prediabetes or diabetes. Blood sugar balance is also the most fundamental need in treating PCOS, which is much more a metabolic type of syndrome at the root that has reproductive hormone side effects, rather than a reproductive hormone issue as a root cause.

Because this is so important, I made the YouTube video about weight loss above to literally draw this out for you (whiteboard time!) so that you can see how blood sugar balance and weight management are tightly connected. And not only weight, but also cravings, energy levels, and mood.
