Here's How to Lose Weight in 1 Month
Set Up a Realistic Goal
When starting a weight loss journey, pace of weight loss should not be your top priority. It should rather be sustainability and healthfulness.
Set both short-term and long-term goals. Short-term goals refer to the goals you hope to achieve in the near future. Long-term goals are more like big picture goals that we might set for ourselves.
Understand Your Health Status
A very big step in weight loss is first to know what is the end goal you are looking forward to and how many kilos lighter you need to be.
You can have the help of a qualified nutritionist in this aspect. You could also calculate your BMI in Possible’s BMI calculator and understand your health status
Pay Attention to Your Diet
While many would start with an intensive exercise regime first, we suggest you rather understand your dietary needs first.
The ideal weight loss ratio for sustainable results is 70% diet and 30% exercise.
Eat More Whole Foods: Your diet should be primarily composed of whole foods – fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
These foods are nutrient-dense, which simply means they are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber, while being lower in calories.
Watch Your Portions: Well sometime it’s not about the food it’s about the portion size. Be mindful of serving sizes. Refrain from overeating, for example, by starting small and eating more frequently during the day, rather than consuming large amounts at once.
Stay Hydrated: Our body is made will 70% water element, now you can understand staying hydrated is how much important.
Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to overeating. Aim for drink at least 3-4 litters of water every day.
Understand What Diet Suits You
There are tons of diet plans on the internet and nutritionists. It’s your job to find out what suits you. You can get help from nutritionists.
You may think that the Indian diet may be the best for weight loss. But unbeknownst to you, there are some serious shortcomings to the Indian diet.
Get A Detailed Diet Plan
This goes a long way not just in weight loss but also in weight management. We have a general diet plan lasting for a month drafted by a Possible nutritionist keeping the nutrient requirements in mind.
However, there are many variables to be considered while drafting a weight loss diet plan. This is just a general one but we suggest you consult a nutritionist for a detailed one suited to your physiological needs.
Do Physical Activity
There is no shortcut for burning calories- you have to exercise. In a day, aim at burning at least 300 calories which can be done by 30 to 45 mins of high-intensity exercises like jogging, cycling, or running.
If you are working out in the gym then 45 mins of workout in the gym will help you burn the required calories between 300- 600 calories per day.
Take Adequate Sleep
Sleep plays a significant role in weight management. Lack of sleep can affect your hunger hormones and increase cravings for unhealthy foods.
- Sleep Duration: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day.
- Sleep Environment: Create a conducive sleep environment by keeping your room dark, quiet, and cool. Avoid screens and heavy meals before bedtime.
Keep Tracking the Progress
It’s equally important to keep track of progress. While you may be following the diet plan diligently.
For convenience, you can use progress-tracking applications (apps). It would be easier for you to track and be informed.
Take Some Cheat Meals but Responsibly
Cheat days are long awaited in any weight in a month plan but it is important to cheat responsibly. Cheat meals will help you to speed up the process.
When you take a cheat meal your body suddenly feels a difference as they got used to with the regular controlled diet.
