I plan to share a more detailed post about my weight loss journey later, but for now, I wanted to keep things light and easy. Think of this as a cozy chat over coffee—no pressure, just helpful little tips to get you started. ☕
A Little About Me
- I’ve struggled with my weight for years—sometimes skinny, sometimes overweight, often in between.
- I used to lack the confidence to commit to a lasting healthy lifestyle (you know the cycle: lose weight, gain it back, repeat).
- But recently, I shifted my mindset: instead of punishing my body, I started caring for it. After all, it’s the only one I’ve got!
Important: Always check with your doctor before making health changes—what works for me may not be safe for you!
3 Easy Tips That Helped Me
1. Try the “Waterful” App
- It tracks your daily water intake and rewards you for hitting goals.
- Features an adorable cheering octopus—because hydration should be fun! 🐙
- Seeing a streak of “100% days” keeps motivation high.
2. Add Healthy Fats
After seeing a TikTok (yes, really!) about early aging, I researched foods that boost skin health and aid weight loss. My favorites:
- Avocados
- Tuna (I eat it raw with avocado—so good!)
- Chickpeas, nuts, full-fat yogurt, and olive oil (sometimes as a shot—no shame!)
Remember: Moderation matters—even healthy fats have calories.
3. Keep Meals Simple (But Delicious)
I focused on meals with:
- Healthy fats + fiber + protein (research what ratios work for you!)
- Minimal prep time—no “cardboard-tasting” health foods here.
- Flexible bases like corn tortillas or brown rice, loaded with fresh toppings.
My Go-To Ingredients
| Fiber | Protein | Healthy Fats | Antioxidants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brown rice | Eggs | Avocados | Spinach |
| Oats | Greek yogurt | Nuts | Black pepper |
Bonus: Many foods (like avocados!) cover multiple categories—efficient and tasty. 🌟
