Smart Nutrition Adjustments
Create a Calorie Deficit
Prioritize Protein
High-protein diets help preserve muscle and promote satiety. Include lean proteins like chicken, turkey, eggs, tofu, fish, and legumes in every meal.
Cut Processed Carbs and Sugars
Refined carbohydrates and sugars contribute to water retention, bloating, and fat gain. Avoid soda, pastries, white bread, and sugary snacks.
Increase Fiber Intake
Fiber supports digestion and helps you feel full. Add vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains to your meals.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water can reduce bloating and prevent overeating. Aim for at least 8–10 glasses of water a day. Add lemon or cucumber slices for extra detox benefits.
Cardiovascular Workouts
Engage in 30–60 minutes of cardio daily. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is especially effective for torching calories in less time.
Strength Training
Building muscle boosts your metabolism. Full-body strength workouts (with weights or bodyweight) 3–4 times a week are recommended.
Core-Focused Exercises
While you can’t spot-reduce fat, strengthening your abs can enhance your core definition as overall body fat decreases. Try planks, bicycle crunches, leg raises, and Russian twists.
