Also, watch portion sizes and try to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day to boost your metabolism.
Avoid eating processed foods
Ready-to-eat meals and highly processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, salt, and sugar. Try to avoid these foods and focus on fresh, natural ingredients instead. Cook your own meals to control the ingredients.
Increase your physical activity
In addition to a healthy diet, regular exercise is an important part of weight loss. Choose activities that you enjoy and can stick with over time, such as jogging, swimming, biking, or taking dance classes. Try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
Drink plenty of water
Water[6] is an important part of a healthy diet and can also help with weight loss. It helps boost metabolism, detoxify the body, and improve satiety. Drink water regularly and reduce your intake of sugary drinks such as soda and fruit juices.
Set realistic goals
It is important to set realistic and achievable goals. While quick weight loss can be motivating, it’s also important to consider long-term sustainability. Make sure your goals are appropriate for your individual needs and body type.
