THE SECRETS OF A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

THE SECRETS OF A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY   

Do you want to lose your extra weight? DO you want to be healthy & live a happy life or you just want to be thin? I think that during this lockdown period you must have acknowledged that there are many more things in life than just to be thin. The perseverance of life is much more. We all have to decide that we want to be healthy & happy or just want to be thin.

If we really want to lose weight then we have to change our habits and build new good habits. Instead of torturing our self to lose 5 kg of weight in 2 weeks, which again comes back after 2-3 days is

worthless. We have to choose the right way so that the lost weight doesn't return.

The weight loss journey will successfully reach its destination if the
lost weight never comes back. To lose weight in a way that it becomes sustainable. For this, we have to make simple changes in our life.

So let's start

Build good habits
                                    

• Food is very essential for health & happiness. It is the most important element of life, therefore, choose food that is local, seasonal &traditional.
•  Always find something from the kitchen to eat. Don't search for the latest superfood rather look for locally grown food and enjoy them while they are in the season and eat them in traditional & time-tested ways.

       

                    

• Don't incline yourself towards processed and packed food it will ruin your health & immunity, try to eat least of them.
• While you are eating make sure, you are eating in a fixed place.
• Sitdown and then eat.
• Give proper attention to the food.
• Be grateful for what you have on your plate and don't waste the food.
• Always offer a prayer of gratitude before eating.
• Exercise should be an important aspect of your life, without exercising you can't, attain good health.

• Do a 30-minute exercise daily or 1 hour every alternate day.
• Do strength & stretching exercises to buildup your stamina and stability.
• Be active and don't sit for more than half an hour. After every 30 minutes of sitting, stand for at least 3 min.
• In this lockdown period, people have started sleeping late at night. If you are also doing the same then this is high time that you wake up and start going to bed as early as possible. Sleep by 9:30 to 10 o'clock at night. this will keep you young & beautiful.

                                   

• Regulate the use of your gadgets. Don't keep on checking your phone after every few minutes, leave your phone out of your reach, one hour before going to bed. The lesser time you spend on your phone the better it is.
• A very important thing is, to make time to pursue your hobbies. Do things that give you joy and peace, such as drawing, painting, crafting, photography, singing & reading e.t.c.

If we are 100 kg of weight then we will be 90 kg at the end of the year if we are 55 kg in weight then we will be 50 kg at the end of the year i.e we will lose 10% of our body weight every year.
