In 2019, how to lose weight (and keep it off!

)
1. Make it a way of life

Make slow changes to incorporate it with your present lifestyle when implementing a fresh diet
and training program. Evite "fad" or "extreme" diets in the short term because you may bounce
back. Think about it! You'll likely discover yourself struggling if you force yourself into a
"chicken and broccoli" diet or some sort of juice cleanse. Restrictive diets will make your body
more anxious about the foods you want, which may eventually lead to binging.

Instead, take quick and processed foods off slowly. Start buying healthy, nutrient-dense foods
you're enjoying. Find out what's working for you! A lifestyle you can say, "Hey, I can handle this
long-term and appreciate it!”.

This was NOT long-term sustainability! I looked good, but I felt mentally and physically awful.

2. You don't have to stick to the gym

There's so much weight loss! To make it happen, you don't need to sign up for a gym
membership. Find what you like and fit in with your lifestyle! Have fun with that! Various ways
of sweating and burning calories:

 Yoga (frequent or warm)

 Martial arts (Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, etc.)
 Circus or acrobatics

I do a blend of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and gym for myself! Whenever I can, I go to the BJJ courses at
night after work, then I add morning gym sessions to my program if I can squeeze them in. It's
worked for me! I strongly suggest that you try various stuff and see what you like!

3. Set your own weight loss objective

That's a clear must! With a goal, you can't just begin something fresh blindly. Figure what you
want to accomplish in order to understand what to do! Whether it's looking aesthetically better,
feeling stronger physically and mentally, or competing in a sport. Once you're set to an end
objective, you'll be more driven every day to work towards it.

My 2019 diet and training objectives are to enhance my strength, stamina, and explosivity. I
want to concentrate on my BJJ practice and use my gym workouts as a manner to complement
my physical shape. As far as diet is concerned, I will concentrate on eating healthy, well-
balanced meals intuitively.

4. Don't count on the scale

I know, this article is about loss of weight and I'm telling you not to depend on it. There's a
reason for this, and that's because your progress isn't always accurately represented by the scale.

Probably before you heard it: muscle weighs more than fat, and it's true. Your weight also
fluctuates constantly depending on the moment of day, whether you ate or not, how much water
you drank, month time (ladies, you understand what I'm talking about), etc. It will only haunt
you to rely on the scale as the mean for your advancement.

Instead, take pictures of progress, measure yourself, or keep your lifts recorded. Focus on how
you look and feel progressive changes! You're feeling leaner? Do you gain muscle? Will your
lifts become stronger? Concentrate on what matters to you.

5. Don't do cardio hours

Lastly, the answer isn't always cardio. I suggest cardio improve your cardiovascular, strength but
too much can burn off your muscle. Find a nice equilibrium between training for cardio and
resistance. Another excellent way to burn fat is high-intensity cardio, also known as HIIT cardio.
You can do a 30-minute killer circuit instead of spending an hour on the treadmill that will leave
you soaked! Start incorporating some kind of resistance training into your program if you're not
doing it yet. You can use bands of weights or strength! Do anything that makes you feel
comfortable!

I hope that these tips have been useful! May 2019 is a wonderful one for us all! Cheers for good
fresh beginnings! If you've got your own tips or tricks, I'd love to understand!
