I can share with you my weight loss story. I lost 24-25 kgs and around 12 inches from the waist in a period of 8-10 months. And I never went to the gym!
Here are a few pointers:
1. Chuck junk food! All those burgers and chips are not going to help you.
2. Drink loads and loads of water and citrus drinks. Make sure your drinks do not contain:
a) preservatives b) sugar c) caffeine d) alcohol
3. It is not about just reducing your calorie intake! Know the difference between eating right and eating less! Reduce the fat and carbohydrate content in your food, increase the proteins and fibres.
4. Split your meals. Take 5-6 meals a day. Have most of your food in breakfast, a little lesser in lunch, and the least in dinner. In between, to keep your metabolism going, eat healthy salads, sprouts or fruits.
5. Reduce ghee and butter, and replace it with olive oil as much as possible.
6. Eat your meals at fixed times. This simple trick helps a lot.
Now when you have cleaned your diet, Lets talk about exercise:
1. Start your day with a morning walk or a run. Do not opt for jogging. Our body is used to running, it gives you an adrenaline pump when you run, which is highly beneficial. Jogging is just like a forced exercise, running comes naturally to us. I strongly recommend the couch 2 5K plan. Check out the app on windows or android. It teaches you to run 5 kms.
2. Simple things like taking the stairs or walking or cycling instead of driving can help you a lot. Keep that in mind whenever possible.
3. Take out 1 hour time in the day for some High Intensity Cardio. You can watch simple videos from youtube and try different work outs like aerobics, power yoga, zumba.
4. Do not be too hard on yourself. Weight loss takes time. For each person this time varies. But to get the results you really need to stay motivated and dedicatedly continue this routine. Don't be too easy on yourself too. Push yourself to your extreme.
5. After dinner go for a brisk walk for 30-45 minutes.
6. Last but not the least, sleep early wake up early!
I hope this helps you. :)
