How to Lose Body Fat
Losing body fat is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. A healthy body fat percentage can help reduce the risk of various diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Here are some effective ways to lose body fat:
1. Consume Fewer Calories. The first step towards losing body fat is to consume fewer calories than your body needs. This can be achieved by reducing portion sizes, avoiding high-calorie foods like fried foods and sugary drinks, and increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits.
2. Increase Physical Activity. Regular physical activity can help you burn calories and lose body fat. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, every day.
3. Strength Training . Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, can help you build muscle and lose body fat. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, so increasing muscle mass can help you burn more calories, even at rest.
4. Reduce Stress Levels .High levels of stress can lead to the production of the hormone cortisol, which can cause the body to store fat. Practicing stress-reducing techniques, such as meditation or yoga, can help reduce cortisol levels and promote fat loss.
5. Get Enough Sleep .Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, leading to increased hunger and decreased metabolism. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep per night to promote healthy weight loss.
Remember that losing body fat takes time, and it's essential to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Follow these tips consistently, and you'll see significant improvements in your body composition and overall health.

My Personal Goal Progress and Steps to Achieving Them: Part 2, Fat Loss
Hello there. For today’s article, I decided to talk about what my personal goals are and how I plan to go about reaching them.
I’ve realised that I’ve made a lot of content on creating goals, but I haven’t shown how it works for me with real life examples. Maybe showing this little insight in my life will help you manage your own goals better.
My Goals for 2022-end
* Read 6 books
* Lose 5 inches off my lower waist
* Get rid of acne scars
* 20 Medium articles by the end of the year
* Go back to playing tennis
* Be able to read the language I’m studying fluently
Losing 5 Inches of my Lower Waist
I have a skinny-fat body where the rest of me is lean except for this weird fat ring I have around my belly (I call it my Saturn ring LOL). I know it’s fat and not a medical issue because I’ve gotten it checked out. My gynaecologist had asked me to lose 5 kg for my health.
Here’s what I’m doing to reduce the waist line:
* 2L water everyday
* 10K steps everyday or a yoga workout on days when it’s too hot to be outside
* Eating mainly protein and low carb
* Calorie deficit (1800 calories - this is NOT for long term, only for two weeks and it’s adequate for my height)
* Green juice once a day (spinach, peach, celery, blueberries)
* No alcohol or processed foods or unnatural sugar
* Only one slice of bread in a day
* Lots of vegetables - sweet potatoes, carrots, beans, aubergine, zucchini, peppers, broccoli - often as a stir fry with some sort of protein - boiled eggs, tofu
* Dessert, if I’m craving, are grapes or yogurt

"Shaming and bullying fat people does not motivate them to lose weight!!" Ok but also... shaming and bullying people is bad, full stop? Even if it DID lead people to lose weight, that's not actually a valid reason to be cruel? Fatness is not some curse we need to throw whatever works at

Salmon & Vegetables
Includes: broccoli, beetroot, potatoes, lemon
over 20g of protein
lots of fibre and micronutrients
source of healthy carbs and fats
if you struggle with veggies, try sprinkling some cheese on them
plant-based option🌱: replace the salmon for some tempeh/tofu pieces
Follow for more inspiration 🫶
