I haven’t achieved this, but adopting new habits to replace old habits. Old habits like not good portion control can be replaced with better habits like exercising. Trying to make this happen
You need to change the foods you eat forever. If you eat a low fat / high protein diet with no refined suger you will lose weight slowly and stay at that weight.
A fun fact is you don’t actually need to eat the amount of food, or the calories. Try to change your eating habit, e.g, reduce the amount and see how you feel.
1- eat healthy (mostly unpacked food) 2- exercise 2-3 days a week 3- stop eating or eating very little after 18-19:00 4- check weight everyday in the morning (so I can adjust how much I eat in the day accordingly) That should be enough 😀
Excersise every day, and start building up my workout routine. Also mix it up! I could change up what I’m doing in my fitness routine every couple days.
By maintaining your new lifestyle choices to the point where it then becomes your “normal” lifestyle. Reverting to your old ways of eating etc will take you back to your “old” lifestyle that you obviously wasn’t happy with...
"Just" eat less calories than I burn each day. Get regular schedule to eat, to avoid snacks and one time over eating. Choose healthy if possible. Get others in your house to help you
Food is the medicine. I mainly eat plant based delicious meals and recently joined this “ Rawk the year” program because it provides the structure and loving accountability that I desire. All these are strategies. But we first have to be clear about our why and clear any limiting beliefs around our body and weight. I firmly believe that our body listens to our thoughts. If they are negative and self deprecating all the time, then it may be a challenge to lose weight. Just my two cents!
Adopt a healthy diet that you can sustain forever. Make sure it’s not something that feels like a sacrifice. Exercise and be patient. Slow progress is better than no progress.
Don’t overwhelm yourself or think too big. Make small incremental steps that are attainable within your day to day living and sustainable long term. The slow progress makes the biggest long term impact, like running water.
