10 SIMPLE HABITS TO HELP LOSE WEIGHT
10:05 PM
This is basically how I lost a huge chunk of belly fat and ways you can too.
Disclaimer: I am not a dietician, nor was I trained to do anything else except teach an indoor cycling class, so please, I am an indoor cycling instructor and I’ll cut it there, everything is solely based on MY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE. I also hate diets. I really can’t. If you wanna know how I did finally get rid of a big insecurity then read on. ALSO, MY BELLY IS STILL NOT FLAT. I sometimes bloat. I still have a bulge most especially when I sit, but it’s way better now than it ever was before, but I still have a long way to go in getting those abs. I’m not gonna b*llshit you saying it was a breeze, help me, it wasn’t. Exercise wasn’t the hard part, it was eating clean.
- Substitute cow’s milk to almond milk. I am that kid who drinks milk every single day. The moment I met Almond Milk, everything changed for me. I got hooked so my fridge is all filled with it. I never actually did think this was going to make a huge difference, but it did, so I’ll keep going. Also, you gotta remember “if it’s not your mom, it’s not your milk.”
- I trained 4-6 hours a day. Before becoming an indoor cycling instructor, I trained for about a month and it really played a huge part but I also think that the mental and emotional stress I was put into was part of why I lost SO MUCH WEIGHT —however that was like, 6 months ago, so what I did to maintain is to workout at least 3-4 times a week (because I have to teach hahaha). Cardio is key, strengthening workouts too. For it to work, you gotta spend at least 45 mins for cardio (no stoping).
- Cut milk tea, coffee, etc. LIES! I surely did lessen my milk tea intake though, well basically I cut off drinks, not that I ever was a fan of coffee too but cutting drinks from your life helps. If you can’t completely cut them out, substitution is key. I have my matcha tea here, so when I was addicted, I used to make my own matcha milk tea, which I believe was an inch better because it didn’t have as much sugar.
- Don’t drink sodas, Iced Tea or beer. Was never and will never be a fan of beer *pukes out carbs. With soft drinks though, I’m too frugal to order from a restaurant. I will take a sip from my dad’s or my boyfriend’s glass once in a while but since I’m alone 70% of the time, soft drinks? Not an option.
- Make breakfast smoothies. It’s not very nice of you to skip breakfast, Sally.
- Keep substituting. Eating yogurt instead of ice cream. :(
- Hydrating instead of munching on everything I see in my room. Nuff said.
- Cook your own meals. I wanna know what I put inside my mouth, and preparing it is something I do most of the time considering that I work from home.
- Don’t eat so much rice. Never really was a fan of rice so this came easy, especially since I don’t know how to cook them. I cup a day is enough, or non at all.
- Eat veg. Well ya, salad is nice until you get hungry 5 seconds later.
I still drink once in a while, very rarely. I eat trash and torture myself with a good workout. Try not to deprive yourself from anything or starve yourself either. Take it day by day. I’ve had nights before where I starve myself because somebody said I gained too much weight, but yes whatever, I hope you achieve the weight you desire, just stay healthy, that's all. These are just tips IF YOU WANNA lose weight, no way am I suggesting that you do. Getting the wrong idea here goes to show the level of comprehension skills one's at. Bye.
