Digital Desk: Losing weight is essential for some people in order to
maintain a healthy lifestyle and lower their risk of numerous disorders.
However, it is a difficult path that involves devotion and endurance because
losing those extra kilos necessitates a comprehensive approach that includes
food adjustments, frequent exercise, and the adoption of lasting habits. It's
also difficult because it requires breaking long-standing behaviours, fighting
temptations, and dealing with disappointments. But what if we told you that you
don't necessarily have to resort to fad diets and strenuous exercise to lose
weight?

Yes, you read that correctly! If you aren't ready to commit to a
strict weight-loss regimen, you can begin by adding some basic practises that
may help you drop those excess lbs. Neha Sahaya, a nutrition and wellness
specialist, posted on Instagram, "If you are lazy to start your weight
loss journey but are still unhappy with your weight, then try these simple
tips."

She also stated that these suggestions will help you set your
attitude and motivate you to begin your weight-loss journey. Here are some
pointers from Sahaya.

*Drink water before and after
your meals: The expert suggested consuming water 20 minutes before and after your meals. “You must drink water
even before your snacks,” she said.

said that having water before a meal can disrupt the stomach acid and having it
immediately after the meal can impair digestion. “This is because the stomach
needs to be 75 per cent full and 25 per cent empty for biles and enzymes to be
released,” he said.

dinner can be beneficial for you, Sahaya said. “If you wish to do it after your
breakfast too, that’d be great.”

However,
Awasthi mentioned that walking immediately after a meal is not a good idea.
“50-100 steps is absolutely okay. But ideally it should not immediately as the
body will find it difficult to digest food and will instead focus on energy
expenditure and increasing blood flow while walking. But if you take a walk
30-45 minutes after a meal, then a 15-minute walk is suitable,” he said.

*10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups: Sahaya recommended doing 10 push-ups and 10
sit-ups throughout the day. "Eventually, you'll find this super simple and
be able to do it more easily." "Always wear a watch to keep track of
time," the expert said.

*A cup of vegetables before lunch and dinner: According to Sahaya, a cup
of vegetables should be consumed before lunch and dinner. "This will form
a mesh in your intestine, slowly raise your blood sugar levels, and your
stomach will be half full."

help to buffer glucose levels, and that if a meal is balanced, a bowl of
veggies "is not really the key to fat loss unless you have a condition
that requires it."

*Make your dessert healthy: While
craving something sweet is natural, indulging in bad desserts might derail your
weight-loss efforts. "If you're craving a dessert, toss some dates or
strawberries in a bit of chocolate sauce and you're set," Sahaya said.

In conclusion, Awasthi stated
that "while these are some factors that help fat loss, sleep, relationship
with food, stress management, and having a health coach to guide you on what
works best based on your bio-individuality" are also important.
