Pranjal Pandey recent took to Instagram and shared how went through a drastic weight transformation and shed 86 kilos. A certified nutritionist and wellness coach, Pandey keeps sharing snippets of her weight loss journey on her Instagram profile.
Some time back she shared five fitness truths that she had to learn and accept during her weight loss journey. “These are 5 things I didn’t want to acknowledge that were hindering my progress,” Pranjal wrote in the caption.
Here are 5 fitness lessons to lose weight faster:
- Calorie is king: If you’re not loosing weight ,you aren’t in a deficit. No matter what you say. A calorie deficit = weight loss. Plateaus are different story though.
- Rest is necessary: 7-8 hours of sleep daily. You tear your muscles in the gym and proper rest and nutrition makes them. If you don’t rest, the fatigue builds up until you get sick.
- Nutrition sources matter: 30g of protein supplements ≠ 30g of animal protein. If you’re only getting your nutrition from packaged foods instead of whole foods it will harm your body in the long run.
- Cosistency is important: Motivation fades but discipline makes you do things that need to be done. Fitness is a long game and you will get results if you keep showing up, on a daily basis.
- Be patient: You will have setbacks and not everything will go according to plan. Life happens but you should always get back on track. Often it takes a long time for substantial results to show up. Till then, it is important to keep going at it.
Always seek the advice of your doctor with any questions about a medical condition and consult them before starting any new fitness routine.
