Nutritionist Eric Dankwah shares 3 steps to lose weight permanently.
Weight Loss Tips: People often undergo a massive weight loss but not many are able to sustain it for long. Gradually, they put on some of their weight back. So, what should one do to maintain the weight and stay away from extra fat? Nutritionist Eric Dankwah says Consistency and discipline are the keys.
The nutritionist explained why people need to build healthy habits to maintain their weight. He listed three healthy habits one must follow to continue to be at their ideal weight, and it includes clean eating and exercising 4 days a week.
“Weight loss is important but not gaining the lost weight is more important. That is why always make sure that the things you do to lose the weight are practical and sustainable,” Dankwah said.
He wrote in the caption, “Focus on building habits not reaching a number on the weighing scale because if you do take shortcuts and do crash dieting to lose weight the number will never sustain.”
He therefore listed three healthy habits essential for permanent weight loss:
Be physically more active
Make sure you take 7k to 8k steps every day which will help you stay in shape
There is no compensation to workout
Make a routine for yourself and workout 4 days a week to keep your body and health in check
Abs are made in the kitchen and I as a nutritionist am telling you that it’s true
Have a balance of healthy eating and junk
He concluded by saying, “80% of the time eat clean healthy and 20% eat what you think is junk and you will be fine
These are habits I developed over a period of time so if it takes you time it’s totally okay but start working on it today
