Here Are Six Lifestyle Changes That Helped Me Drop 25kgs (55lbs)

Many of you may have ‘weight-loss’ as your new year's resolution.

I did too, for years, and it never worked.

Here are six lifestyle changes that helped me drop 55lbs (25kgs).

You probably haven’t tried #4.

+ Added some pro tips to help you.

1.?Little bit every day

I hit the gym right before going to uni every day.

This helped me make exercising a habit and not a chore.

Also helped me sleep better as I wouldn’t party until late so I can wake up to hit the gym.?

???? Pro Tips:

? 30min of anything > 2h of burning out

? doing it happily > cribbing?

2.?The lazy butt’s guide

Do fun stuff only.

I stopped hitting the gym when I got bored.

How can you wake up to do something that you don't enjoy? So, find things that you do.

From yoga to CrossFit to low-impact strength training, I’ve tried it all in the past 8 years.?

???? Pro Tip

YouTube has a lot of amazing content for free.?

3.?F*ck the diet

I’m a foodie.

My cousin is one too, and she went on a 9-month long diet w/o exercising only to get flabby skin and gain her weight back once the 'diet' ended.

It took me 2 years to lose weight but without any diet at all.

Sustainable diet > yo-yo diets

???? Pro Tip

You *know* what's healthy and what isn't (think - fried, oily, creamy, highly processed).

These basics are all that matter to start with.

4.?You *can* eat what you want

Moderation is the key.

People go on a diet only to hop back. A healthy diet needs to be the one that's healthy *forever*, not for 6 or 9 months.

Get on a diet you can sustain because your body isn't a trash bag.?

???? Pro Tips

2 pieces of chocolate > an entire bar

Drinking soda monthly > weekly

Enjoying the pie your grandma makes >>>

Enjoy your holidays ffs.

5.?Calorie counting

I don’t do this anymore as I'm not looking to lose weight, but it helped me get to know what I eat better. I realised so much of the food I ate back then was garbage.

Get to know your food.

The app I used -?@MyFitnessPal?

Everything is okay in moderation (as long as it's legal).

???? Pro Tip

Is what I tell you next.?

6.?Choose nutrition > calories

My gym trainer told me to stop having fruits because of sugar.

My friends recommended me keto.

Somebody told me nuts are too fattening.

Everybody shits on carbs.

This is BS.?

???? Pro Tips

Choose vitamins and nutrition that lead to good health. Choose health over aesthetics.?

Lastly

Weight loss isn’t as difficult as people make it sound but it definitely changes you as a person.

It makes you:

• disciplined
• committed
• dedicated

But it also makes you value the one thing which should be a #1 priority for all of us - your health.

???? Last pro tips

?? Eat your cuisine. It's what you're used to + is more sustainable.
