But it’s even harder when you don’t know where to start successfully losing weight.
Here’s a great checklist I put together just for you that will help you see right away what you need to adjust so you can start losing weight successfully.

👉🏻 What is the BIGGEST reason you want to lose weight?
👉🏻 Is your plate balanced with 25% proteins, 25% carbohydrates + 50% vegetables?
👉🏻 How big or too small are your portions? [quick portion control guide for women: 1 palm-sized portion of protein, 1 fist-sized portion of non-starchy vegetables, 1 cupped-hand-sized portion of carbs, 1 thumb-sized portion of healthy fats]?
👉🏻 Do you really need “that” snack when you’re not hungry?
👉🏻 Do you drink 2L of water a day to keep your body hydrated and eliminate toxins?
👉🏻 What is your weekly alcohol consumption? More than 10 units per week is too much.
