Using A Holistic Approach To Weight Loss

I sometimes get asked point blank what it means to use a holistic approach to weight loss. Although I cannot cover everything in detail here I can address the main ideas.

First of all a holistic approach will take into consideration every aspect of the individual. This includes the existing lifestyle, physical, emotional, and mental. That means that the individual is always the focus of the program. In other words, the program must be flexible enough that it can easily be modified to fit the needs of anyone.

A holistic approach is a healthy approach. Although a complete transition into a healthier lifestyle may take awhile, the fact that the individual is not asked to make drastic changes suddenly makes the process easier to stick to. Because of that most people find that incorporating the gradual changes is a painless process and the end result is a healthier lifestyle that results in weight control and a healthier and happier person.

Not only are the weight issues addressed but so are the causes for the weight problem. By addressing and resolving the root causes the problem can be eradicated. The individual learns about himself and how to best meet personal needs while staying healthy and fit.

A holistic approach is what I consider to be the best way to maintain weight and overall health.
