[Love Pulse]

 

The desire to stay fit, eat healthy, and get in shape is something that we all have. But seldom does this desire reflects in our actions. We come up with excuses blaming our busy lifestyle, lack of time, and so on. So, is there a way to improve our lifestyle, eat healthy, and start exercising often? The answer is yes. Here are a few tips which will get you on the right track with ease.

Get Professional Help

What works for one person might not necessarily work for you. The lack of results is what makes most of us give up within a few days or weeks. Instead, consult a professional and get guidance from them on how you could lose weight, embrace a body-positive attitude, and embark on a healthy lifestyle journey.

You could start by following reliable blogs and websites which have been around for a while and has well-researched articles. The Health Constitution blog shares tips on fitness, well-being, and home exercises and has won numerous awards in Australia over the past five years. Getting advice from credible sources will ensure that you do not harm yourself in the process of shedding that excess pound. A weight management expert will help you understand the health goals for your body type and guide you towards reaching them.

 

Have Achievable Goals

It is important to have a healthy BMI score. If you are overweight by around 50 pounds, it is natural that you want to shed that entire weight. However, this change cannot come overnight. Starvation and crash dieting can help you lose around 10 to 15 pounds with the GM diet and other such crash diets. But it is hard to keep up the diet plan for long. This would lead to weight gain again and take a hit on your motivation.

Instead of aiming for a crash diet and instant weight loss, have a sustainable plan. While the long-term goal should be to reach your ideal BMI, target losing one or two pounds a week. As your body's metabolism increases while you try to lose weight the healthy way, you would soon reach your ideal weight. As the goal is easy to achieve, you will stay motivated.

 

Get Ample Sleep

There is a stronger link between your sleep and weight loss. Lack of sleep is one of the primary reasons for weight gain. People who are not well-rested tend to gain more weight and binge eat than their well-rested peers. Stop staring at your phone, computer, and television at least an hour before bedtime.

The blue light in electronic gadgets makes it difficult for you to fall asleep. Have a bedtime routine, and make sure you hit the bed at the same time every day. This applies even for the weekends, where most people wake up late and sleep late, which takes a toll on the body's circadian rhythm and leads to stress, disturbed sleep, and weight gain.

Switching to a healthy lifestyle cannot be an overnight change. Making drastic changes to your diet, exercise, and sleep routine can do more harm than good to your body. Instead, make a slow and steady switch and increase your goals as you go ahead. That way, you will be able to lead a healthy life and have sustainable weight loss.
