Eat protein

Proteins are the building blocks of the human body and you must eat good sources of protein on an everyday basis.

Protein foods

Chicken, egg whites, nuts, seeds, legumes, lentils, soy and soy products, milk and dairy products are all healthy sources of protein you can bank on.

Physical activity

Exercising for only one hour every day and being physically inactive the rest of the day is not going to help with fat loss as well as weight loss.

Avoid sitting

For every 30 minutes of sitting, either walk or stand straight on your feet, (without leaning) for three minutes. It helps in breaking long hours of sitting.

Create calorie deficit

Eat foods rich in fibre (whole, grains, fruits, veggies) and protein. They are filling in nature and keep you full for longer, thus reducing your overall calorie intake.

Right mindset

Focus on getting fitter, having less body pain, better mobility, flexibility and falling sick less often. See how well your clothes fit you and how active you feel throughout the day.

Increase step count

Walk while talking on the phone, participate in virtual fitness challenges or compete with someone to see who completes 10,000 steps first.

Sleep 7-9 hours

Focus on quality and quantity of sleep. Avoid drinking alcohol as it prevents you from getting deep sleep. Create a comfortable and cosy environment in your bedroom so that it is sleep-friendly.

Drink water

Drinking sufficient water is an imperative for staying hydrated as well as fat loss. It can hydrate you and also reduce cravings for soda or other sugar-laden beverages.

Eat without fear

Eat homemade foods as far as possible, and eat without fear and guilt. Fat loss or weight loss do not come above your health nutrition needs.
