Steps To Lose Weight Naturally.
Losing weight can be a challenging journey, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Whether you’re trying to lose a few kilos or make a significant change, the best way to lose weight requires a combination of healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and a positive mindset. In this blog post, we will explore the most effective methods for losing weight and help you on your journey to a healthier you.
1) Start with a Plan.
Even before you start your weight loss journey, it’s important to set goals and create a plan. Start by determining how much weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Keep in mind that a slow and steady pace is more sustainable in the long term. Next, take a look at your eating habits and identify areas where you can make changes. Try to eat more whole foods and limit processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Finally, make a plan for physical activity and stick to it. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
2) Keep a Food Diary.
One of the most effective ways to monitor your eating habits is to keep a food diary. Write down everything you eat and drink, including portion sizes. This will help you to identify patterns in your eating habits and make changes where needed. You can also use a smartphone app or website to track your food intake, which can be a convenient and efficient way to stay on top of things.
3) Eat More Protein.
Protein is essential for weight loss because it helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied. Aim to include protein in every meal and snack, such as chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products, and legumes. Eating protein can also help to preserve muscle mass, which is important for maintaining a healthy metabolism.
Now this doesn’t mean gulping down those chemical-filled protein powders from the market, natural sources are the best.
4) Reduce Your Portion Sizes.
One of the most common reasons for weight gain is eating too much food. To avoid overeating, it’s important to reduce your portion sizes. Use a food scale or measuring cups to ensure that you’re eating the correct amount of food. You can also try using smaller plates and bowls to make your portions look larger.
5) Drink Plenty of Water.
Drinking water is important for weight loss because it helps to flush out toxins and boost your metabolism. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and more if you’re exercising or in a hot climate. Avoid sugary drinks, such as soda and juice, as they can add a lot of calories to your diet.
6) Get Plenty of Sleep.
Getting enough sleep is important for weight loss because it helps to regulate hormones that control hunger and metabolism. Aim to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, and avoid using electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, in bed.
7) Exercise Regularly.
Exercise is essential for weight loss and in fact, the most important factor, because it helps to burn calories and build muscle. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Choose activities that you enjoy, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga, and make them a regular part of your routine.
8) Find a Support System.
Having a support system can make all the difference when it comes to weight loss. Find a friend or family member who also wants to lose weight, and work together to achieve your goals. You can also join a weight loss group or an online community to connect with others who are on the same journey.
9) Be Patient.
Always remember that Rome was not built in a day. Losing weight takes time, and being patient with yourself is important. Celebrate small victories along the way, such as losing a few pounds or fitting into a smaller size. Remember that setbacks are a normal part of the process, but never give up.
Conclusion with few basic understandings.
In short EXERCISE, EXERCISE & EXERCISE. Nutrition is equally important but is still secondary. The reason: When a person does exercise regularly, he will burn the extra calories, his hormonal health & metabolic rate will improve, and his muscles will build up. Now all these aspects are equally important to losing belly fat, since fat cannot be reduced from a single part of the body, and as far as belly fat is concerned, this will be the last to go.
Exercise is emphasized because it is the only healthiest way to lose fat.
Belly fat is the last to go because the construction of the human body is made in this fashion, every important body part be it the brain, heart, or lungs is protected by a bone structure, but what about the energy-generating system? What protects the stomach, the intestines, the liver, the kidney, and numerous other organs that are in the belly area? Now the only protection in this particular area is fat cells, which help to minimize external impact, and also act like cushions. So fat cells not only provide energy but also protect important organs.
Now to reduce body fat, directly burning out calories is only one aspect, and nothing works better than Exercise, (Mostly cardio exercise works great and the results show within no time.) Let us also understand the other aspect, which is burning body fat when an individual is not exercising.
The metabolic rate of individuals, age, sex, hormonal health, muscle mass, clean and healthy gut, digestion, and absorption of food. Nutrition, eating a balanced meal, etc. all come into play.
As far as good muscle mass is concerned, to develop a good quantity of muscle mass, individuals have to do some sort of weight training, even bodyweight exercise also does wonders. Good muscle mass means a good quantity of blood flowing through the entire body that will happen when the heart pumps out more blood, So we can see that the metabolic rate also increases, and this results in fat burning even when the person is resting. (The heart needs energy to continuously pump out, and it will burn more and more fat cells to derive the required energy.)
Now to the point of nutrition: High protein content in food helps in building muscles, and if the food is high in fibers, then individuals do not feel hungry so easily, resulting in less intake, again the fat cells provide the required energy by the system. High fibres also help the digestive tract to remain healthy, since these push out the post-digestion waste from the human system.
Products from Sheer MADness help to a great extent since these are rich in all the essential Amino acids to build Muscle, Flaxseed in these products is high in fibers, which can swell up to seven times. Hence a person doesn’t feel hungry and doesn’t eat junk thus forcing the fat cells to burn to provide the energy the human system requires. Apart from proteins and fibers, these products are laden with numerous microminerals, Omega 3 fatty acids, and Numerous Vitamins including Vitamin E (From Almonds).
Hence, we say Sheer Madness means – Complete nutrition.

Now, here are Few Facts before I finish:
These are the same lines from my book “Great Health Comes from Exercise & Nutrition”
a) Everyone is an individual, so what suits me, may or may not suit the next person.
b) If a person has a medical condition, a doctor’s advice and prescribed medication will only help.
c) While buying any protein powder from the market read the labels carefully, and Watch out for various codes, and words like Anti-caking agent, and INS 551( Also known as Silicon dioxide), All these are Laboratory made chemicals, and although approved by regulatory bodies think twice, will you consume a spoon of Silicon dioxide? And Silicon dioxide is just one product, there are numerous others like BHA ( Butylated hydroxyanisole ), BHT ( Butylated hydroxytoluene ) and the list of lab-made chemicals goes on and on with various codes, that we generally ignore.
Hence read the labels especially the ingredients list of the product before buying.

d) Exercise is the key to fitness, we should always keep in mind that exercise and nutrition are two sides of the same coin and always go hand in hand. So only nutrition will not help you attain any goals till it is not supplemented with Exercise.
e) Excess of anything is wrong, it can be the best nutrient-filled superfood, but one should consume only recommended quantities.
f) Regarding health, fitness, and nutrition, remember that Rome was not built in a day. Your discipline and consistency is the key.
g) It’s not only Exercise and protein that builds muscles, there are numerous other factors like a healthy gut, numerous macro and micronutrients, your body type and DNA, the amount of rest the body gets, the lifestyle an individual lives, and on and on it goes. Out of all these, exercise and nutrition are within our control, and one should focus on these two primary aspects.
