Are you on a weight loss journey? Be it for health or medical reasons, losing weight is not easy. The internet is flooded with information on what to do and what not to do. While calorie deficit and regular exercise are crucial for weight loss, there may be something that's holding you back from your fitness goals. Fitness coach Lessie, who has over 4.5 million Instagram followers, has shared 7 rules one can follow during the fitness journey. In her 28-day weight loss challenge, she follows these rules, which give miraculous results. What are they? Let's take a look. No soda (Pic courtesy: iStock) The first rule of the challenge is to eliminate soda. Yes, that's right. Sodas, including sugary beverages, are the biggest culprit behind weight gain and metabolic issues. Even diet sodas, which are advertised as calorie-free drinks, are linked to increased cravings and bloating. You can replace soda with water or herbal teas. No sugar There is not much point of going on a calorie deficit and then consuming added sugars. Consuming refined sugar leads to blood sugar spike and crashes. These energy crashes can wreak havoc and lead to cravings. By removing added sugar from your diet, you will be able to stabilize your appetite, improve digestion, and support fat loss. Instead of eating sugary treats, munch on whole fruits; however, remember moderation is key No coffee People on a weight loss journey tend to load up on coffee to curb hunger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo While moderate coffee consumption isn't harmful for most people, too much caffeine can cause a lot of issues.
