A look in the mirror prompts many of us to start actively working on improving our figure in the New Year. However, far fewer of us successfully reach our desired goal. Do you want to finally be one of them? We offer you 5 tips on how to do it.
If you’ve ever started losing weight, you’ll know that you’re most motivated in the morning. Over the course of the day, we gradually abandon the goals we set – a full lunch and dinner are replaced by fast food and sweets, and instead of exercising, we do nothing in front of the TV. Start slowly and gradually. If you put too much on your shoulders, it is much easier to give in to the temptation to postpone the whole process until later, or to give up weight loss altogether. Plan your diet carefully, think about how many times a week you exercise and set specific days. Ideally, you should keep a daily log so that you can keep track of what’s coming up today. Whenever you meet one of your small goals, you can cross it off the list.
Feeling hungry causes nervousness and frustration. Don’t let it take you by surprise and always have something small on hand to effectively chase it away. Nuts, chopped vegetables or fruit are ideal. Don’t overstretch yourself when exercising. A few days of muscularity will certainly not convince you to practice it ever again.
Convince a family member or a friend to take up weight loss with you. Start going to the gym together, jogging, organising trips and hikes. In addition to supporting each other, you’re guaranteed to gain new hobbies and unforgettable experiences together.
A person develops a habit for a new activity quite quickly – you only need to do it regularly about 28 times. While the beginnings of weight loss aren’t easy, if you persevere, it will definitely get better. Gradually, you’ll even get so used to your new lifestyle that you won’t even want to go back to the old one. The same goes for weight; isn’t that exactly your goal?
You’ll achieve the results you want mainly through an ideal diet and plenty of physical activity. Read articles or publications on healthy food and lifestyle. Take inspiration from themed cookery books. You will get a much better overview of the necessary vitamins and nutrients that are essential for maintaining solid health. Don’t forget that it’s not only our bodies that need wholesome nutrition, but also our brains. You can learn about the positive impact of carnosine in the publication by Professor Katarina Horáková entitled How to have a healthy brain at any age.
