Weight loss is achieved through a combination of healthy eating, exercise, and a lifestyle change that can be maintained. Here is a detailed guide that will make your weight loss journey safer and more effective:
1.Nutrition
a. Control Your Consumption
Know Your Caloric Needs: Figure out how many calories you need daily and create a caloric deficit (500-750 calories per day, if you want to lose around 0.5-1 kg a week).
Keep a Track of What You Eat: Use apps or journals that show you what and how much you eat.
b. Focus on Quality Foods
Get Your Fill of Protein: Include lean meat, fish, eggs, lentils, and other plant-based proteins.
Healthy Fats: Include avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, but use reasonably moderate amounts.
Go for whole grains: Quinoa, brown rice, and whole-grain bread, rather than refined carbs.
Fill half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables so you get plenty of fiber and micronutrients.
c. Splurge Less on Processed Foods and Sugar
Resist sugary drinks, fast food, and snacks high in sodium, sugar, and unlucky fats.
Drink more water and cut out soda and juice.
2.Physical activity
a.Cardio exercises
Things such as walking, running, cycling, or swimming help burn calories and have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system.
Among other things, achieve a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio each week.
b. Strength training
Build muscle using weight or bodyweight exercises such as squats, push-ups, and lunges.
Once you have an increase in muscle mass, your metabolism increases allowing you to burn more calories even at rest.
c. Increase daily movement
Take the stairs, walk more, or do hobbies like gardening to be on your feet throughout the day.
3.Lifestyle changes
a. Sleep
Aim for 7 to 9 hours of good quality sleep every night. Lack of sleep interferes with the hunger hormones and encourages cravings.
b. Stress management
Practice mindfulness, yoga, or meditation to relieve stress preventing emotional eating.
c. Consistency and patience
Losing weight is a slow process. Focus on a long-term habit rather than quick fixes.
4.More tips
