Can meditation help me lose weight?

“I’ve never meditated in my life.

I’ve heard about an interesting study done by a neuroscientist who wrote the book/did the TEDTalk ‘Why diets are making us fat’ in which she found that the only sustainable weight loss was through mindful eating practice.

It seems that other research has also found that cortisol is highly correlated with weight gain and cortisol levels decrease through meditation.

Can I lose weight if I meditate?”

Yes, meditating can help you lose weight.

Meditating can help you discover the root causes of your excess weight and meditating can help you create a plan to change this.

You will need to put this plan into action to see any meaningful weight change.

Meditating can help you along your weight loss journey to maintain focus and make improvements.

Once you understand the root causes it becomes clear how to change.
