I want to share my weightloss tips with you. Before I go on, pls note that in achieving weightloss, your work is 80% on your diet and 20% on exercise. 1. Water Drink lots and lots of water, at least 3 litres daily. Water helps to curb hunger, make us eat less and rejuvenates the skin, hence making us look younger among other health benefits. 2. *Diets* *Food to do away with* Junks, bread, carbonated drinks, fried food, beverages, food high in carbohydrate. *Food to reduce to once in a while and also has to be in little quantity and with lots of veggies* Rice, Yam, Wheat, swallow food and all these should not be eaten as dinner. U can also do away with it completely depending on how fast you want to achieve your goals. Also reduce your red meat, opt for fish or white meat. Make a food timetable weekly from the following meals. Unripe plantain Potatoes Vegetables Garden egg Egg Oats Beans Moimoi Bean cake fried in Palm oil Smoothies made with fruits that aid weightloss (research online) Fruits- frulits high in calorie shouldn't be eaten past 12 noon e.g mangoes, oranges, watermelon, pineapple, apple etc. Make vegetables with fish or chicken your dinner most times. Garden egg and cucumber with fish, egg or chicken are also good for dinner. In addition, you can make Sunday your cheat day when u can eat ur rice but it has to be in little quantity and taken with lots of vegetables. Eat eggs, u can add it to your main meal or make it ur snack instead of snacking on junks. Maize lovers like me will want to know if they can eat corn this season...Yes, you can but it shouldn't be more than one medium size and not to be taken everyday. 3. *Exercises* Start with Jogging for at least 20 mins daily, if you can't jog, skip...get a skipping rope and skip that fat off you. Like Jogging, skipping also burns a lot of calories. Furthermore, depending on the part of your body u want to shed faster, Google exercises that burn those areas faster and add them to ur Jogging or Skipping. For skipping or jump rope as some people call it, start with 100 daily, add 20 each day. Then, for the first one month, rest after every 3 days of hardworking...by the second month, make your rest days strictly when necessary. *Time to work out* You can work out at any time u are comfortable with. Although, morning workout is the best but don't let your busy schedule deprive you of working out. Most of my workouts are done in the evening/night depending on my duty. 4. *Teas/Drinks that can help your journey* Before I list them pls note that even if you take a little of these drinks daily and you don't work on your diets, forget it, you won't see results. Green tea Lemon with warm water and ginger Black tea e.g Lipton. *Habits to do away with* Skipping breaskfast - When you skip breakfast, your body reacts by storing excess fat from your next meal. Ur brain be will assume u are starving and that you might skip dinner too. NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST EXCEPT FOR SPIRITUAL PURPOSE. *Eating late night meal* When can you eat late and go to bed, your body won't be able burn it off due to reduced activities at night. This us the leading cause of belly fat. At first, eat dinner by latest 8pm, later reduce it to 7pm then to 6pm. Your body will thank you. *Snacking often* Even while you are at it, don't snack often. Good snacks for weightloss are garden eggs, cucumber, nuts but has to be in little quantity cos most nuts have high calories, other fruits of it is not past mid day, coconut, boiled egg, avocado are also good snacks. *How long does it take??* Set your goals, don't compare your journey with another. It took me less than 4 months to loose 20kg. My determination level might be different from yours but I know if I did it, you can also do it! Don't focus too much on the scale, focus on your hardworking and your clothes will be your constant judge. Just check your weight monthly to see your monthly progress. Note that it is a journey to forever. A journey to healthy lifestyle and keeping fit. Also, note that you didn't all those weight in a day so don't expect magic. You have to work, be patient and be persistent. *The 3 Ds and 1 A that worked for me. *Determination* *Discipline* You have to learn how to say no to some food even if it's free or surplus. I can't go to Owanbe and eat rice, you serve me rice, I say NO and ask for vegetables or salad and water. *Dedication* No pain, No gain. *Anger* I was annoyed that I looked older than my age. I was annoyed that I couldn't wear clothes I like because of my stature. I wanted a change in my life, I wanted to become a new person and here I am today. These aforementioned 4 things got me where I am today and I am never going back to that old ME! *Cheers to healthy lifestyle* *Written by Nurse Adeyoriju Ayodeji Olayinka*
