The Healthy Diary Podcast

Podcast Shownotes

We all know someone, whether they’re a friend, a colleague or a family member, who seems to just stay thin without any effort. No matter what they eat or what they do, they maintain their weight naturally. Let’s be honest, it’s frustrating to watch while you’re going on diet after diet and unable to maintain your weight loss. 

I used to be that person who tried everything and couldn’t keep the weight off, but now, after developing healthy skills and habits, I maintain my weight effortlessly, without tracking calories, diet restrictions or exercising like crazy. 

Research shows that there are specific habits that naturally thin people have. One of the most important things that will help you learn and develop these habits for yourself is your mindset. To be a naturally lean person, you need to think and speak like a naturally lean person. 

Say No to Diets
Naturally thin people don’t follow strict diet protocols. Instead, they focus on consuming real, nutrient-dense foods without severe restrictions. They tend not to cut out food groups or practise extreme dieting practices but focus more on fostering a healthy relationship with food. They enjoy their food!

Listen to Your Body
One of the most powerful skills you can learn on your weight loss journey is to listen to your body’s hunger cues. This means eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you feel full. This is something that a lot of women struggle with but, from experience, I can tell you that this is a skill you can learn. Paying attention to what your body is saying is essential for sustainable weight management.

Prioritise Whole Nutritious Foods
Research tells us that naturally lean people mostly cook at home and centre their meals around a source of protein. Doing this means that you know exactly what is going into your meals and your food intake is more nutrient-dense. It’s also important to strike a balance between nutritious choices and occasional indulgences to feed your soul, which is something naturally lean people do.

Planning, Planning, Planning
Successful people plan. So to be successful at maintaining your weight loss, it’s important to plan your meals and incorporate meal prepping into your routine. Planning ahead reduces decision fatigue, saves you time and sets the tone for a week of healthy eating.

Consistent Meal Choices
Eating the same meals consistently helps you reduce decision fatigue and prevent unnecessary overwhelm. By sticking to a few favourite meals, naturally lean people simplify their food choices and focus on nourishment.

Start with a Balanced Breakfast
Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating later in the day. Naturally thin people understand the importance of a balanced breakfast rich in protein to kickstart their metabolism and maintain energy levels.

Stay Active Throughout the Day
In addition to planned physical activity, naturally thin individuals engage in fidgeting and incidental movements, boosting calorie expenditure. Think about how you can stay mindful of daily movement to contribute to your overall well-being.

Incorporating these 7 habits into your lifestyle can pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable weight management journey. By adopting the practices of naturally thin people, you can nurture a positive relationship with food, prioritise nourishment, and enjoy effortless weight maintenance.
