I need to start using this rule again after holiday season 🫡

I weigh myself every day to see trends where my weight is going and if I need to change something… Unfortunately so many people weigh themselves only every once in a while and end up feeling frustrated when seeing higher number on the scale. Some of them even end up quitting because they’re not understanding that they are actually making progress. If this is you, please don’t be that person and learn to use the scale only one way to measure your progress 🫡

Today January 10th is Quitters Day. 80% of people who made New Year resolutions have already been quitting by today. If you are one of them, please watch this whole video to learn different way of thinking and setting goals 🫡

Steps Challenges are making the difference!

Happy birthday dad wherever you are ❤️ Today you would turn 72. You are still my biggest motivation why I must start my own workouts even in a days when I don’t feel like it. I promise you that I will keep doing everything I can to maintain my health.

Most people think they need to flip their entire life upside down to lose weight. No more carbs. No more sugar. No more fun. Meal prep for hours. Workouts every day. And sure, you might see fast results if you go all-in. But here’s the catch: If it’s not something you can stick with, those results won’t last. In 12 months, you’re back where you started—if not worse off. The truth? You don’t need to change everything to make progress. Here’s the secret: Focus on 1-2 small changes at a time. For example: • Add 20-30g of protein to each meal. • Go for a 15-minute walk after dinner. These might seem small, but they add up over time. And because they’re simple, they don’t feel impossible to maintain. The problem with thinking short-term (1-3 months) is that it usually involves extreme changes. Strict diets, intense routines, and a lot of stress. But if you think long-term (6-12 months), it’s the slow, sustainable habits that actually win. The goal isn’t just to lose weight—it’s to build a lifestyle you can keep for years. So ask yourself: What’s one small, manageable change you can start today? Drop it in the comments. I’d love to hear it ❤️ #healthyhabits #sustainableweightloss #fatlosstips

You’re not alone. Let’s face it, January’s hype fades and reality hits hard. But here’s the silver lining: every day is a chance to reset. Forget the missed workouts and the takeout binges. What matters is what you do now. I’ve put together 9 simple steps to help recalibrate your year. From tweaking your diet to upping your steps, these changes are small but mighty.

Social events used to stress me out. Big time. My “strategy” was simple: ❌ Don’t eat before to save calories. ❌ Overdo it on food and drinks because I was starving. ❌ Wake up the next day feeling guilty and punish myself with a crazy workout or by restricting food. I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I just lacked willpower. But here’s what I learned: This cycle wasn’t working. In fact, it was making everything harder. Here’s what I do now: 1️⃣ Eat Before the Event This was a game-changer. I have something light before heading out—a mix of fruits, salad, and protein. It keeps me full and makes it so much easier to enjoy the event without eating everything in sight. 2️⃣ Drink Water Between Alcoholic Drinks One glass of water after every drink. It’s simple, but it helps in two ways: staying hydrated (less hangover 👌) and naturally slowing down my drinking. 3️⃣ Eat Slowly and Enjoy the Food When I eat slower, I actually enjoy what I’m having. It also gives my body time to realize it’s full before I’ve overeaten. 4️⃣ Treat the Next Day Like Any Other This was the hardest shift for me. No punishment. No crazy workouts. No starving myself. Instead, I eat like nothing happened. And guess what? That one event doesn’t derail my progress. Here’s what I’ve realized: Social events are part of life. It’s not about skipping them or stressing over every calorie—it’s about managing them in a way that feels good and keeps you on track. This mindset shift changed everything for me. And it can for you too.

2 things I’d start doing if I wanted to drop 5-10kgs without restricting foods 👇 1️⃣ Plan Ahead + Regular Eating Windows: The secret to consistency? Planning. If you’re not preparing ahead, it’s no surprise when you find yourself mindlessly snacking in the afternoon. Sound familiar? Focus on the meals you struggle with the most. For most people, that’s breakfast. • Prep overnight oats the night before. • Try scrambled tofu for a quick, protein-packed start. • Personally, I prep my smoothie the night before to save time in the morning. And it always has at least 40g of protein. One more tip: Stick to regular eating windows. Think breakfast between 6-8am, lunch 12-2pm, dinner 6-8pm. This helps regulate hunger, digestion, and energy levels. 2️⃣ Prioritize Protein and Fiber 🥩🌾: Here’s where most people fall short: It’s not about eating ‘some’ protein—it’s about hitting your target. Aim for 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Actually track it. Trust me, this has been a game changer for me and my clients. And don’t forget fiber! Aim for 14g per 1000 calories you eat. Fiber isn’t just great for digestion; it keeps you fuller for longer. What’s the difference between eating ‘some’ protein and hitting your protein goal? ✅ Better muscle recovery ✅ Staying full longer ✅ Boosting your metabolism It’s not about cutting out foods—it’s about adding habits and nutrients that support your goals. Rather than focusing on restriction, build a lifestyle that’s easy to stick to long-term. 📌Save this post for when you’re ready to improve your nutrition.
