Managing your weight can be a challenge<\/strong><\/span>; we know there are long-term health benefits to eating well and moving our bodies\u2014no matter what the scale may say\u2014but it can be discouraging if you\u2019re working hard and not seeing results. Infuse your weight management plan with these essential tips to boost your efforts.<\/p>\n

If a new weight management program is on your agenda for 2019, check out our Slique in 60 challenge below!<\/p>\n

1. Catch some ZZZs<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Did you know that a lack of proper sleep can lead to\u00a0weight gain<\/a><\/u>? Make sure you\u2019re getting the rest you need by creating a snooze-worthy environment for shut-eye. Diffuse 3 drops of\u00a0Lavender essential oil<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and 2 drops of\u00a0Cedarwood essential oil<\/a><\/u>\u00a0before tucking in for the night, and check out our post for more helpful tips on\u00a0getting a better night\u2019s sleep<\/a><\/u>. Need a little extra help getting a full night\u2019s rest? Try SleepEssence\u2122<\/a>, a combination of essential oils with sleep-enhancing properties and melatonin that is designed to help you get some shut-eye.*\"Grapefruit<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Start your day right<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Kick-start your metabolism with a healthy breakfast! If you\u2019re looking at a weight management success story\u2014with or without essential oils\u2014you\u2019ll find they all have one thing in common: committed, healthy choices. Beginning your morning with a conscious, healthy decision sets the stage for continued positive choices all day long. Try starting with an\u00a0overnight chia bowl<\/a><\/u>!<\/p>\n

3. Stay hydrated<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another way to use Young Living essential oils for weight management is by boosting your water intake. A drop of your favorite Vitality\u2122 essential oil can motivate you to drink more water throughout the day.\u00a0Grapefruit Vitality<\/a> essential oil supports weight management when used in conjunction with healthy eating and regular exercise, has cleansing properties, and can support your lymphatic system*, making it a perfect option for your water bottle. Or you can find your favorite, like\u00a0Lemon<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Lime<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Peppermint<\/a><\/u>, or\u00a0Citrus Fresh\u2122<\/a><\/u>, or create a combination that inspires you to take more sips of H2<\/sub>O all day long.<\/p>\n

4. Beat your cravings<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it\u2019s difficult to resist something sweet or salty, opt for a healthy alternative to candy bars and potato chips. Try these essential oil-infused\u00a0chocolate energy balls<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or\u00a0apple chips<\/a><\/u>, or seek out recipes to swap healthy ingredients into not-so-healthy recipes. Cut down on refined sugars and other bad-for-you ingredients by opting for Einkorn Granola<\/a> for breakfast or a Chocolate-coated Wolfberry Crisp\u2122 Bar for your afternoon snack.<\/p>\n

5. Get up and move<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the best tips for weight management is to keep moving. You don\u2019t need to be a gym rat, but it\u2019s critical to change up a sedentary lifestyle. Opt for stairs instead of the elevator, park on the far end of the parking lot, and take time to stretch throughout the day. If you\u2019re having trouble with motivation, try diffusing\u00a0Citrus Fresh<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or\u00a0Peppermint essential oil<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to help add a little pep to your step. Using essential oils to help your weight management can often be about finding ones with energizing aromas!<\/p>\n

6. Team up<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Everything is easier when you have a support system, and that includes managing your weight. Invite a friend or group of friends to join you on your journey so you can all see better results together by keeping each other on track. Share results, discuss setbacks, and renew your resolve with a group of people who are as motivated as you are. This support network can be invaluable as you go through the ups and downs of your weight management plan as they help you stay accountable and focus on your goals.<\/p>\n

7. Add some Slique\u00ae<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Young Living\u2019s\u00a0Slique system<\/a><\/u>\u00a0is formulated to promote healthy weight management.*\u00a0Slique\u00ae CitraSlim\u2122<\/a>**<\/u>\u00a0includes a proprietary essential oil blend for weight management, which some studies suggest may help support the body in burning excess fat when used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. The proprietary blend may also support the release of free fatty acids, which may help break down fat.* Young Living\u2019s Slique product line also includes\u00a0Slique Essence<\/a>\u2122<\/u>,\u00a0Slique Shake<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Slique Tea<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Slique Bars<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Slique Gum<\/a><\/u>\u2014a whole\u00a0Slique system<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to support you in your weight-management goals!<\/p>\n
