As a new year approaches, many are considering making lifestyle changes, particularly when it comes to health and fitness.
January often marks a fresh start for those aiming to adopt healthier habits and boost their fitness levels. For those targeting weight loss, fitness coach Lizzy High has shared four straightforward adjustments that could make a significant difference.
Known as Liz Bites Back to her online followers, Lizzy frequently offers fitness advice, and her latest tips could be beneficial as we transition into 2025. Firstly, she advises against obsessing over the number on the scale, as it doesn’t provide a comprehensive view of a person’s health.
Additionally, she discourages dietary restrictions. In the past, she focused on consuming “as little as possible,” but now warns against this approach.
According to Lizzy, restriction like this can lead to issues like hair loss and bloating. Instead, she suggests considering what you can add to your diet rather than eliminate. She emphasises the importance of enjoying your favourite foods while incorporating nutrient-rich options that promote fullness.
Increasing your intake of protein and fruits is also an effective strategy, according to the personal trainer. Lizzy reassured her followers that it’s fine to occasionally indulge, underscoring the importance of progress over “perfection”.
In an Instagram post, she confessed: “I made SO many mistakes when I first started my health and fitness journey. I used to feel embarrassed that I went to such extremes, but I didn’t know any better.
“My job now is to prevent you from making the same mistakes that I did. You deserve better. You deserve to feel and look your best without going sacrificing your life or health. I hope this helps you.”
With over 7,000 likes, Lizzy’s message struck a chord, as supporters voiced their support for her journey.
Comments poured in, with one follower saying: “This is incredible.” Another added: “I needed to read this.”
A third also chimed in with: “Don’t stop eating things you love because of numbers on a scale. You haven’t lost or even failed by going over, because you’re staying consistent every other day, and you’re all doing great.”
