The struggle for weight loss is real. A lot of routines are tried out, some failed while some worked, some are failing, starting over and refusing to give up. While we read/hear every other day that food is 80% while exercise is 20% a lot of people still get confused. Before you know what is happening you are doing one and forgetting the other. That is when you hear people say “I’ve tried everything and nothing is working for me :(” 

The whole truth is, this whole thing is not magic. Eating right and doing things you like and maintaining your regular exercise routine is key. It takes time and commitment. Along the line you might feel the urge to take a break one day, then two days, oh maybe I can start all over next week or maybe I should just wait till next month so I can have a fixed time… you’ll find yourself on the side again. So if you’re going to start again, here are things you should know. 

Forget About Diets...
Many think that to diet you simply fill your cart with veggies and eat as little as
possible. In the long term, most diets fail and leave you with nothing but unwanted weight and a heap of disappointment. If you’ve been eating a certain way your entire life, the worst thing you can do is completely switch up your dietary routine. It will confuse your body, make it hard to stay dedicated, and worst of all – you’ll probably be miserable.

Your Liquid Intake Is Important...
Water! Drink! If you can't drink then make your flavored water. Adding your favorite fruits into a jar of about 2 liters and pour water then drink. You can try finishing that by the end of the day. It’s a fun way of taking it more liquid. Play around with it. Make things simple.

Join A Group...
You just can't do this alone without motivations from other people. Join people who want to achieve the same goal as you. It helps you to be up and doing. When you read/hear someone say “omg I just dropped some pounds and I’m feeling amazing” you’ll know it’s about time to tell people about yours too :)

Breakfast is a BIG...
We hear and read about it every day yet some people will skip breakfast in the name of not wanting to be fat. You don’t fast to lose weight, you eat to lose weight. You just fasted for hours and your body is empty believe it or not. 

Make Good Use of Your Internet...
If you can't be browsing (if you don’t have time) for more info sure you can download a fitness App from the Play Store. There are loads of them that can help achieve your goal. I just got one “Pumpup” from the Play Store and it’s pretty amazing. I love it because I get all I need to keep going, from motivations, to eating right and exercises. 

Make Things Simple…
This is what I’ve learnt overtime. When you take things overboard it looks like work and it appears to be difficult for you as the days go by. Make it simple, just play around it, feel free and be happy for yourself. Don’t do anything when you are in a bad mood, you’d be surprised how far you’ll go and when you achieve that body, it will be effortless and you might wonder how got through it.
