Diet/ healthy routine kickstart?

Question

Ok so I've gained a little bit of weight lately. I'm 5'6 and usually 150lbs. But for the past year I've been super stressed with work and a break up and am at 180. Any tips and pointer for getting back on track? I know the most important thing is my mindset & im working on it!

Answer

Dont drink your calories, drinks with high sugar and caloric value are usually overlooked. Drink lots of water. Add weight training into your routine. Cardio is great, but muscle burns more fat so it's super important to add some weight or at least body resistance training. Small but frequent meals. Don't do anything drastic. It should be a consistent lifestyle change not a diet, if it's a diet it temporary and way too easy to yoyo back if you can't maintain it.

Answer

Log your food. Lots of good apps like myfitnesspal. Helps you know where you are at. You have to have a calorie deficit to lose. Make small changes, make new recipes so you can have portion controlled yummy food and not be tempted for take out. I use dietbet to wager on weight loss and it helps keep me accountable, give me a push cause I don't want to lose money

Answer

Keep things simple. Eat smaller portions and move more. Try not getting bogged down with lots of details like which vegetables are good or bad just think as much vegetables and fruits as possible. Your weight is 80% diet so clean your diet and start doing an exercise you enjoy and can continue to do and you should see slow steady results.

Remember it took a year to gain the weight you won't loose it overnight. Good luck on your journey.

Answer

Good for you girl! I'm in the same boat :) I'd say: start drinking lots of water. Eat whole wheat only (avoid white breads, white pasta, white rice etc) and eat LOTS of veggies and fruits. And even if working out seems impossible, your health can improve a lot if you only work out for 5 minutes a day!

Also, take some time for yourself to destress. Treat yoself ;)
