Losing weight is not an easy feat, especially if you lack the motivation (which is usually the case)- we completely understand. Do not be worried, this is not an unrealistic hyper-positive clickbait. We have five easy steps for you to remember: losing weight is a journey, not a destination.
Forgive yourself: Starting a diet can be very hard in the beginning; refraining from binge eating your favorite snacks, all of a sudden can be confusing for the body too. You have to forgive yourself every time you have a breakdown and munch on those junkies. It is completely fine; we are all humans after all.
Accountability: The next step is a very underrated method, try to keep a friend around who will hold you accountable. Ask a close friend or a relative to keep all unhealthy snacks out of your reach, even hide them if possible and maybe keep track of your diet chart and whether you are following it responsibly. If you want, you can also try being part of a weight loss community because support is crucial to staying strong.
Having a fixed goal is very important for weight loss: No goal is unattainable. You do not need to have a holier-than-thou reason to lose weight. You want to look pretty, that is why you want to lose excess weight. You want to live healthily, that’s why you want to lose weight. Whatever that reason is, it should be ideal enough for you to stay strong and firmly dedicate yourself to the dieting process.
Refrain from Impulse Purchases: A proven way to stop yourself from impulse buys is by having a fixed grocery list full of healthy meats and fats already written down, before you go to the market. You can always prepare this list beforehand by keeping a note of what you enjoy eating most and how you will incorporate the keto diet into your daily life through the ingredients.
Build a Workout Regime: Last but not least, exercising can be challenging but it is very important to do so alongside maintaining a diet. For this reason, try to find a workout that you love even if it means dancing classes or aerobics. Keep your workout clothes laid on the bed before you go to sleep so that you can wake up and be mentally prepared. It’s always easier to exercise more if you love your workout routine even if it involves kickboxing or yoga!
