1. Little bit every day
I hit the gym right before going to uni every day.
This helped me make exercising a habit and not a chore.
Also helped me sleep better as I wouldn’t party until late so I can wake up to hit the gym.

🙌🏼 Pro Tips:
• 30min of anything > 2h of burning out
• doing it happily > cribbing

2. The lazy butt’s guide
Do fun stuff only.
I stopped hitting the gym when I got bored.
How can you wake up to do something that you don't enjoy? So, find things that you do.
From yoga to CrossFit to low-impact strength training, I’ve tried it all in the past 8 years.

🙌🏼 Pro Tip: YouTube has a lot of amazing content for free.
3. F*ck the diet
I’m a foodie.
My cousin is one too, and she went on a 9-month long diet w/o exercising only to get flabby skin and gain her weight back once the 'diet' ended.
It took me 2 years to lose weight but without any diet at all.
Sustainable diet > yo-yo diets

🙌🏼 Pro Tip: You *know* what's healthy and what isn't (think - fried, oily, creamy, highly processed).
These basics are all that matter to start with.

4. You *can* eat what you want
Moderation is the key.
People go on a diet only to hop back. A healthy diet needs to be the one that's healthy *forever*, not for 6 or 9 months.
Get on a diet you can sustain because your body isn't a trash bag.

🙌🏼 Pro Tips:
2 pieces of chocolate > an entire bar
Drinking soda monthly > weekly
Enjoying the pie your grandma makes >>>
Enjoy your holidays ffs.
Everything is okay in moderation (as long as it's legal).

5. Calorie counting
I don’t do this anymore as I'm not looking to lose weight, but it helped me get to know what I eat better. I realised so much of the food I ate back then was garbage.
Get to know your food.
The app I used - @MyFitnessPal

6. Choose nutrition > calories
My gym trainer told me to stop having fruits because of sugar.
My friends recommended me keto.
Somebody told me nuts are too fattening.
Everybody shits on carbs.
This is BS.

Lastly,
Weight loss isn’t as difficult as people make it sound but it definitely changes you as a person.
It makes you:
- disciplined
- committed
- dedicated
But it also makes you value the one thing which should be a #1 priority for all of us - your health.
