Am I concentrating on the wrong things?

[Anonymous]

Currently I am 2 stone overweight. I really want to lose weight and have tried to before but I can never stay motivated for long enough. I normally focus on doing intense workouts and restricting my diet, I'm wondering if this is why I can't stay motivated? Would it be better to change my ways and maybe instead of focusing specifically on losing weight, I should focus on having a healthy lifestyle by making small changes to my diet and daily routine? Any help would be really appreciated

Yesyesyes.
A healthy lifestyle over diets always.
That way you'll lose it right and keep it off. Because its a practice, not a diet.
Just try and incorporate veggies and fruit as much as possible. And whole grains.
Avoid meat, dairy, added sugar.. (im vegan so i may be biased, but its made me the healthiest I've ever been) But you aren't ingesting cholestoerol or bad fats by avoiding animal product. But, go lean meat if you do, lean light meat.
Try mostly whole foods basically. Whole grains, whole veggies and fruit, and protein. Which good lean sources of protein are in veggies and grains. Quinoa, tempeh, nuts, etc.
And drink a lotttt of water. Dont get any sugar from your drinks. Dont do soda or alcohol when you can.

Also, probiotics.
Take them, drink them.
I love love love kombucha. Especially ones with chia seeds added.
Its a nutritional drink with active culture.
A healthy gut aids weight loss.
