Guidelines for Success
Hydration: Aim to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. You can also add herbal tea or lemon water for variety.
Mindful Eating: Focus on eating slowly and savoring each bite. Avoid eating while distracted (e.g., watching TV or on your phone).
Portion Control: Use smaller plates, measure servings of high-calorie foods, and be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.
Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night, as sleep deprivation can lead to cravings and reduced willpower.
Meal Prep: Prepare meals and snacks in advance to ensure you have healthy options available, even on busy days.
Consistency: Follow this plan consistently, but also allow for some flexibility. It’s okay to enjoy a small treat occasionally, as long as you stay within your calorie and nutritional goals.
This plan provides a balanced approach to weight loss, including a mix of nutrient-dense meals and varied workouts. Adjust portion sizes and exercise intensity according to your fitness level and energy needs.
