She captioned the clip: “What things are holding you back from achieving your goals?! Let me know.”
“These are the five things I would never do on my weight loss journey as a registered dietitian,” she said at the beginning of the clip.
Courtney then noted that she would “never skip social events.”
‘The first thing I would never do on my weight loss journey is skip social events. Skipping social events can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can increase your risk of chronic disease, weaken your immune system, and even increase your risk of death.
“By throwing yourself into social situations, you build the confidence you need to navigate social life,” she explains.
Her next tip for people who want to lose weight was to stop seeing themselves as a ‘victim’.
The dietician said that you should try to ‘reframe your thoughts’ when you start to feel sorry for yourself.
“I would focus on being able to nourish my body with healthy and nutritious foods because nourishing your body is a gift, not a punishment,” she added.
Recently, the expert, who lives in Pennsylvania, gave viewers tips on how to accelerate their weight loss via the video platform.
In addition to not skipping social events and not playing the victim, Courtney noted that you shouldn’t “save” your calories. That means not skipping meals throughout the day and then binging on them for dinner.
She said, “I would never save my calories. I would never eat small meals or no meals at all at the beginning of the day to save my calories for later in the day. In fact, research supports that your biggest meal of the day should be breakfast.”
The health expert noted that skipping your last meal is actually “more beneficial.”
She then suggested that people who want to see the number on the scale go down should always have a plan and stick to it.
She explained: ‘Random recipes lead to random results. Without a plan, it’s so easy to make impulsive decisions that can actually derail your progress.
“I always try to plan meals and snacks ahead of time so I can stay consistently on track.”
Finally, the content creator said she would never step on the scale every day.
‘Many dietitians may disagree with this, but I advise against weighing yourself daily.
“I find that it creates unnecessary stress and an obsession with numbers, and I choose to focus more on my energy, improving my mood, improving my lab results… because these are real indicators of success,” she said at the end of the video.
