1. Set Realistic Goals:

                                   Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.

    Example: 

                      "I want to lose 5 kg in 3 months."

2. Eat a Balanced Diet:

•     Limit sugary drinks, fast food, and processed snacks.

3. Hydrate Adequately:

•     Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.
•     Water helps with digestion, metabolism, and satiety.

4. Exercise Regularly:

•     Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week.
•      Include strength training exercises 2-3 times a week to build muscle.

5. Get Enough Sleep:

•     Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

•      Poor sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and fullness.

6. Manage Stress:

•     Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

         Grilled, baked, or in salads

3. Fish: 

       Salmon, tuna, or tilapia

                       Weight loss takes time; focus on progress, not perfection.

15, Limit Added Sugars:

                      Read labels and reduce intake of sugary drinks, desserts, and processed foods.

Example:

1. setting realistic goal:

              "I'll lose 1-2 kg per month" instead of "I'll lose 10 kg in a week."

2. Sticking to a routine:

                Exercising 3-4 times a week, every week.

3. Celebrating small wins:

                "I completed a 30-minute workout today!"

4. Not giving up:

                 Continuing healthy habits even when progress is slow.

Remember, patience and consistency lead to long-term success!

16. Stay Active Throughout the Day:

                     Take the stairs, walk to work, or do household chores to boost daily activity.
