Tania, who has lost 32 kg, shared in her July 13 Instagram post five things she considers non-negotiable when working towards weight loss from home. Weight loss is often associated with strict diets, intense workouts and long hours at the gym. But sustainable progress can also come from building simple, consistent habits that fit into everyday life.
If you’re postpartum , some nights won’t be perfect, and that’s okay,” she said. She also warned against drastically cutting food intake in an attempt to lose weight. “You can’t expect to lose weight and tone up when you’re eating less than a good chunk of protein daily or if you aren’t eating at all. Stop skipping meals! “The best workout time is the one you can consistently show up for. Stop waiting for the perfect schedule, make movement fit your life, not the other way around,” Tania added. Strength training is another key part of Tania’s routine. She recommends challenging yourself with weights and gradually increasing the load as you become stronger. Tania also considers hydration an important part of her daily routine. She follows a simple body-weight -based approach to setting her water intake. “Ensure you are properly hydrated. The final non-negotiable on Tania’s list is sleep. particularly for new parents, she believes people should prioritise recovery as much as their circumstances allow While getting adequate rest can be challenging. “Aim for as much quality sleep as your season of life allows.
“The pro, minimum 30g protein 3 times a day is always my goal!
Getting enough protein is one of the most important parts of her routine, according to Tania. Ensure you are putting real protein before processed proteins,” she said. “If you’re serious about weight loss and muscle building, this is non-negotiable,” she added. “Lift as heavy as you can while challenging yourself, every time!” she said, addressing a common concern about women becoming ‘bulky’ from weight training. I aim to drink half my body weight in ounces of water,” she said.
