Weekday warriors!
So your diet is exceptional from Monday morning to Friday evening. But what’s happening over the weekends?
So it is essential to reflect on your days and meals to check if you have tried everything diligently to lose those extra kilos.
But don’t you deserve cheats! You have worked so hard all week long!
This is why nutrition should be a ‘lifestyle change’. The moment you look at your meals as a ‘diet’, you are doing it wrong. Watch this:
An average plate in a restaurant is around 800 calories and very dense, much more than ten years back. So try to make your regular food 'healthy' and not tag it as a 'diet' food.
Lack of Cardio
If you are determined to lose those last few pounds, adding moderate-intensity steady-state cardio for long hours can be significant.
Once you have reached an ideal body fat percentage, your body will refuse to lose any more weight. This is healthy and protective for you. But if you wish to go a little under your ideal body fat percentage, add some cardio- Start with as little as 20 minutes three times a week!
Moderate intensity would mean an intensity of around 5 out of 10. Additionally, this kind of cardio is also effective only when done for sustained hours, like around 20 to 50 minutes at a stretch.
This form of 20 to 50 minutes of sustained cardio per week can be a game-changer. In addition, pump up your NEAT (non-exercise activities) game and aim for 7700 steps every day.
None of these points are helpful?
Hope this helps,
