Our No Nonsense Guide to Losing Weight In The New Year
Want to lose weight in 2021?
Then let’s get real
Losing weight and getting back in shape are among the most popular resolutions year after year.
Why?
Because so many people can’t seem to keep them.
A whopping...
80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February
Only 20% of them make it past February, and who's to say they won’t sputter out somewhere in the middle of the year.
The most important thing in setting goals is having the perseverance to stick by it and see it through to the end.
And if your goal is living healthier and getting back in shape this 2021, then keep your eyes peeled.
We at Better Body Co., spoke with several experts on weight management who have reviewed the science surrounding weight gain and loss to explain:
- what to eat and avoid
- how much exercise you need and which workouts work best
- as well as their tips for making these moves a part of your new, well-balanced life in the New Year.
Without further ado, here’s our no-nonsense guide to weight loss in the year 2021:
Go Mediterranean
Even though the keto diet has been raved about by athletes and celebs…
The Mediterranean diet is the only diet that has been proven in trials to promote weight loss and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
This meal plan includes using olive oil rich in healthy omega-3 fatty acids as your main cooking oil, and loading your plate with fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein like fish and chicken, with the occasional piece of red meat.
This means no processed foods, and reduced salt, sugar and trans fat.
All in all, the perfect diet for women who are trying to lose weight and lower inflammation in their body to follow.
Carbs are your friend...sugar isn’t
Carbs aren’t all evil.
Carbohydrates have really gotten such a bad rep for being the “culprit” for weight gain.
But what we need to understand is that there are complex carbohydrates and ancient grains that can really help us not only lose weight, but increase fullness and lower appetite.
The right carbs can help in decreasing your cholesterol and stabilizing your blood sugar, both pivotal in weight loss.
These “good” carbs include whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans.
The “bad” carbs, or refined carbs (including refined grains and starches like white bread, white rice, pasta and mashed potatoes) contain a lot of sugar, so tread lightly.
Workouts are all equally good
All workouts are created equal.
Should you be focusing on high intensity interval training (HIIT), training for a marathon or getting on the bodyweight bandwagon to torch the most calories and fat?
Well, the answer is neither.
The best exercise is one that you enjoy, and one that you will actually do.
We could tell you a thousand and one workouts, but they won’t work if you don't actually do them.
So find a few you can stick with in your life for weeks, months and years — not just the first week of January.
(Don’t become one of the 67% of gym membership holders who never go; at around $60 a month on average, that’s wasting $720 a year.)
Just. Get. Moving.
The 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans suggest a minimum of:
- 150 minutes (2.5 hour) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week (walking briskly, playing doubles tennis, raking leaves)
OR
- 75 minutes (one hour, 15 minutes) of vigorous-intensity activity (running, a strenuous fitness class, carrying groceries up stairs), as well as muscle-strengthening activities (resistance training and weightlifting) two days a week.
However, if you are really keen on getting back into shape, you would have to work up to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week, or 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity.
To get started, try taking a 10-minute walk five times a week, shooting for 50 minutes a week, and building on from there once it becomes a habit.
Don’t skimp on the sleep
If you want to really lose the weight for good, you need major lifestyle changes.
That includes getting enough sleep.
Missing the daily recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleepytime has been linked to higher obesity rates.
The lack of sleep can not only affect your dietary choices, the fatigue can make you want to move less, resulting in less physical activity.
In fact, people who sleep six hours or fewer per night on average consume about 300 extra calories the following day.
Be mindful of what you eat
It might sound simple, but being mindful matters.
If you slow down and take a step back and look at what you’re piling on your plate, you often realize you actually could have done without that extra bear claw during lunch.
A good exercise to start with is keeping a food journal to take note of what you’re eating and watching portion sizes.
Did you know that one serving of bread is actually just one slice?
Or one serving of pasta or rice is just half a cup?
And a serving of cheese is only two ounces, or the size of a domino?
So start paying attention in 2021, and you might just lose weight yet.
P.S. Starting the new year on a quest for a healthier you can be daunting.
