Title : 3 simple, yet profound steps to losing COVID weight

Abstract:

It’s natural to look for comfort and pleasure during stressful and uncertain times like COVID. And the easiest way for us humans to find comfort is through food. That’s why it’s no wonder that so many people have gained weight over the last couple of months. In this lecture you’ll learn how excess body weight impacts your health and why it’s an underlying cause of chronic disease. We’ll talk about the 3 main changes you can make to your diet from your next meal which will lead to healthy and sustainable weight loss. We’ll discuss why willpower is a short-lived commodity and why focusing on it during weight loss doesn’t work. You’ll get tips on what to master instead and how to get over any vulnerable moments which you may experience. We’ll close with tips on how to avoid pitfalls and the most common mistakes anybody can make when trying to lose weight
