Diksha says she invested heavily emotionally and physically sacrificing a lot on a regular basis to achieve the body of her dreams
Weight loss is a constant work on your body that not only needs tweaks in your diet and workouts but also intense mental strength. The same was proven by a highly dedicated and consistent youngster Diksha, a nutritionist who clearly knew how to achieve her weight loss goals.
According to Diksha, who lost 28 kg, she invested heavily emotionally and physically, sacrificing a lot on a regular basis to achieve the body of her dreams. She totally eliminated unhealthy habits, reduced the intake of her favourite foods, and adopted a healthy lifestyle.
An integrative health coach, Diksha has shared her incredible and inspiring journey, where she also talks about making such practical sacrifices.
What sacrifices did Diksha make for her weight loss journey?
According to Diksha, she lost weight consistently by eating just home-cooked meals, which she made using interesting recipes and a dedicated workout regime. Explaining her weight loss journey on Instagram, she explained the five realistic sacrifices that helped her lose weight.
Let go of the need to see fast results
There is no instant weight loss remedy. Diksha said the key to a healthy body is being slow and steady, which is the only way to go if you want to lose weight and maintain it as well.
If the weight loss process becomes too fast with the help of an extreme diet, the probability of gaining it back is higher.
No sugar
It is important to have a balanced diet but make sure to cut off harmful foods like sugar. However, too-restrictive meals are also harmful in the long run.
Diksha said she did not give in to the cravings too frequently and that helped her slow down cravings, making her progress fast. She advises creating a plan for your meals and indulgences and, whenever possible, swapping the cravings for healthier alternatives.
Eat early dinners
“This one took time. I had to train my mind and body to ensure that eating by sunset was right for me. I did crave food while sleeping for a few days but once my body had adapted to this new lifestyle, there was no going back,” she wrote on Instagram.
Diksha said if she was forced to eat late dinners due to some social commitments, she would feel heavy and uneasy while sleeping.
Crave perfectionism
According to Diksha, you must not settle for anything less than perfectionism. “This should have been first on the list. This is the first thing to let go of when trying to lose weight or improve your health overall.”
Punishment loop
“I gave up on the idea of punishing myself for eating a piece of cake on my birthday by running for two hours on the treadmill and instead inculcated a wholesome relationship with food and my body,” she wrote.
According to Diksha, she understands her body’s needs more than 80–85 per cent of the time and that is when her body also supports her by metabolising the food quickly when she indulges in her favourite foods.
