Hi everyone,
Weight gain can happen due to a lot of reasons and there are times when everything about your perfect figure goes wrong. People who are generally blessed with a nice figure get panicked and all stressed out when they gain weight. But there is nothing to worry about and you can get back in shape easily if you want. In today’s post, I will share 10 tips that you can follow to get back your beautiful, old figure.
Eat More Fiber and Lean Protein
Eating fibre-rich food and lean protein helps you to get back in shape really fast. Try to add oatmeal, quinoa, amaranth etc in your diet. Eat loads of salads with fish or meat protein. Foods that have a higher protein to calorie ratio helps you to get back to your older version.
Be Slow but Steady
You can set a strict diet and exercise routine for yourself on the very first day but probably after three to four days, you will fail to stick to the routine. Start off with simpler goals in the beginning. You can cut out the sugar intake and exercise for thirty minutes daily in the first week. Once you get habituated you add more to this. Your body gets time to be prepared and disciplined and you stick to the plans better.
Control Your Portions
You can lose weight without following a very strict diet. Just controlling your portions is important. People with good figure often take their physic for granted and eat a lot without thinking about the result. This leads to weight gain. Just check what you are eating and this simple thing can bring the change. Put the right amount of food on the plate and stop taking second helpings. Also, do not eat the usual amount if you feel full midway. If you keep these simple things in mind, you will achieve your goal fast.
Do Not Set a Strict Target
Setting a target like “I will lose 10 kgs in a month” won’t help you at all. Do not follow a goal-oriented regimen. Your sole goal should be a healthy lifestyle and fit body. Once you stop over thinking about a strict diet, stop feeling too guilty about a cheat meal and stop stressing out about no weight reduction in two days- the process becomes easier and more effective.
Find a Workout You Love
Everyone does not have to follow the same exercise routine. When you do what you love, you do not get bored or tired. You look forward to the workout session every day. You can dance, practice zumba, do cycling, skip or even run.
Join Group Activities
Working out together with your friends can be fun. Join a gym or workout activity centre along with some of your friends. Working out with others instead of doing it alone can be super motivating. You get into a healthy competition, never get bored with the sessions and encourage each other to maintain the routine.
Add Weight Training
Weight lifting is a great way of toning your muscles and it helps you gain muscle and strength. Your confidence goes up and you start feeling stronger. Often weight loss makes you feel weak. Weightlifting turns your weight gain into your strength. Add weight lifting to your workout sessions and you will love to see the change in your body.
Sleep Enough
Sleeping enough is very important when you want to lose weight. We do not sleep less because there is too much work. Often we tend to sleep less because we stay away late at night scrolling through our social media feed and watching Netflix. This affects our digestion a lot and there is a lot of bloating. Go to sleep one hour after your dinner and sleep for around 708 hours.
This routine will give you a fitter, slimmer body.
Stay Away from Fad Diets
Fad diets are quick fixes at times but won’t help you to lose weight in long runs. If you want to lose weight steadily and maintain it, fad diets are not going to work. Opt for healthy eating and maintain the diet as much as you can. You may eat cheat meals at times; you can have desserts at times but mostly try to eat home-made healthy food. This helps in maintaining your body and loses the weight without being too stressed.
Keep a Log
It is important to keep a log of what you are eating and how much you are exercising. This gives you a clear idea of your routine and you can change or improve that too. Counting calories actually stops you from overeating every day. If you have dessert on a day, you can work out a little extra on the next day. Also, you can modify or increase the repeats of the workout session which becomes easier when you keep a tab.
Follow these rules and you will get back in shape soon!
