Watch your diet:
Fill your breakfast with veggies, protein, and fat. This will keep you full for 4–5 hours, reduce sugar cravings, and prevent snacking or binging later.
Add fiber to the diet:
Add a fiber source to each meal. Aim for 25–35g daily. Great sources include apples, pears, edamame, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, oats, and whole-grain bread. Also read | Woman who dropped 32 kg in 7 months shares 10 things she did for weight loss: ‘Don’t give up soda’
Avoid snacking in empty stomach:
Avoid snacking on carbs. Save sweet cravings for dessert after a main meal instead of eating them on an empty stomach.
Hit 10K steps every day:
Set a daily step goal and break it into smaller chunks. For example, a 20-min morning walk, two 20-min walks after meals, and a 30–40 min evening walk with your family or friends can help you easily hit 10k steps.
Stay hydrated:
Drink more water. You need half your body weight in pounds in ounces of water daily. Easy hack: get a big water bottle, fill it in the morning, and sip throughout the day.
Add more protein:
Double down on your protein. No need for fancy recipes—just build on what you’re already eating. Add egg whites to eggs, use cottage cheese in sandwiches, or eat a full chicken breast instead of half. Also read | Weight loss coach shares 9 tips to lose up to 20 kilos in just 12 weeks
Have your favourite dessert:
Have your favorite dessert daily (if you want it). Pick one dessert you love the most, enjoy it every day, and skip the rest of the sweets.
