To help you lose those excess pounds, you require much more than just food and lifestyle adjustments. Few people are aware of this, yet how you approach your path of self-transformation or betterment determines how successful you will be. Rujuta Diwekar, a nutritionist, recently posted three mentality shifts on Instagram that are necessary for us to adopt in order to make our weight loss and fitness journeys "healthy and happy."
If one meal gets messed up, don't mess up the whole diet. Rujuta says, "Stop being angry and disappointed in yourself. You don't need to give up your diet for the entire day just because one meal went wrong. You can get on track with your next meal. That's the only way to repair things."
There is no all-or-nothing rule for exercise.
"Even if you cannot do a full 60-minute exercise, it does not mean you don't exercise at all. 20 to 30 minutes of exercise is of no use. This attitude prevents us from losing weight. So, next time, remember that it doesn't matter how long you exercise. The best workout is the one that gets done."
Don't fish for compliments
Diwekar advises against asking other people how they think you appear physically since you can become discouraged if they say something unfavourable. She said, "Remember, this is a journey and not a destination, so support yourself, be loving and forgiving on this journey to achieve good health!"
