Losing weight can be a difficult task. It takes hard work, dedication, and time. However, sometimes you need a little help to get over the hump.
1. “Weight loss graph is never a straight line graph”
Human body is not as same as a machine. This means it might not always respond to a workout the same way. Following a good diet and regular exercising might still result in a weight plateau.
2.It's ok to have a cheat meal but not a cheat day.
One might often go overdrive when they get a cheat day from their nutritionist or trainer. However, overeating or eating unhealthy in abundance can hinder your progress. Furthermore, it can be hard to go back on track after a day full of eating unhealthy foods.
3. “It's ok to miss workout sometimes but never more than consecutive days”
Similar to eating properly and only taking cheat meals and not days, it is essential to follow a workout routine. Missing workouts instantly affects your state of calorie deficit. Furthermore, it can be difficult to go back to a routine if you don't follow a workout routine daily or at least 5 times a week.
4. “Your worst enemy is neither fat, not carbs, it's guilt”
Don't fall into trap of guilt. Sometimes it is okay to make mistakes, we may have skipped training but we have to just leave it behind and try to start our next session as soon as possible.
5.Control your emotional eating
We don't always eat simply to satisfy hunger. All too often, we turn to food when we're stressed or anxious, which can wreck any diet and pack on the pounds. Do you eat when you're worried, bored, or lonely? Do you snack in front of the TV at the end of a stressful day? Recognising your emotional eating triggers can make all the difference in your weight-loss efforts.
Stay motivated folks!
