When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, achieving set fitness goals and managing our nutrition, it’s important that we put our health and wellbeing at the forefront, and focus on fuelling our bodies with fresh, nutritious whole foods that we enjoy. Here at Fernwood, we love food, and believe a healthy lifestyle is all about balance. Read more about making friends with food here.
When it comes to weight loss, we know that energy balance plays an important part. The idea is that when you take in more energy than you expend, you will likely gain weight. While when you take in less energy than you expend, you will likely lose weight. There are multiple factors that can affect weight such as:
- Diet
- Macro intake
- Exercise program
- Resistance and strength training
- Sleep patterns
- Stress
- Hormones
