How to achieve healthy weight loss
She wrote in her caption, “This is the ultimate fat-burning guide that will make you the version of yourself – achieve a healthy weight loss and keep it off too!”
Losing weight shouldn’t feel like a chore, and it shouldn’t feel so restrictive that you hate every second of your diet and workout and then give up. Hence, Raksha’s habit-based weight loss methods could help you burn calories and lose fat without feeling restricted and on a diet.
How to lose weight in a healthy way
She has listed her ‘8 recommendations to lose weight and end this year strong’. Here’s what she said in a video:
1. Eat till spaciousness
Eat until you feel like your stomach is still snatched and light even after you have finished your meal.
2. Drink water from a glass
Keep sipping even when you are not thirsty because you are not supposed to reach thirst in the first place.
3. Take a magnesium glycinate 400 mg
It is my favourite (thing to take) every night before bedtime. Correct your vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 levels with a doctor’s help.
4. Add ghee to all your carbs
On your roti and to your rice (add ghee) and fry the potato and arbi—this reduces the glycemic index and your portions because you get fuller faster.
5. Walk for no reason
Let there be no timing, no speed benchmark… just walk!
6. Add seasonal vegetables
Beetroot, peas, cabbage, turnips, spinach, cauliflower — they deliver nutrients to your body so it feels climate-proof and safe, and it is in safety that you lose weight and not in survival.
7. Strength train at least once a week
Do full-body training, no explosive movements.
8. Do the 4-7-8 breath work
Every morning on rising (do this), so you find presence in your body and make healthy decisions from your presence in this moment.
