Spent a high-calorie weekend? Fitness coach shares 5 tips to get back on track for faster weight loss
During a weight loss journey, it's natural to occasionally indulge in a cheat meal or enjoy a high-calorie weekend. While a single indulgence won't derail your progress, it's important to get back on track promptly by returning to a calorie-deficit diet and staying consistent with your strength training routine. Fitness coach Mahtab Ekay, who keeps sharing weight loss-related tips and hacks on her Instagram profile, shared a post on May 25. Mahtab, in the post, noted down 5 tips that can help us to bounce back to routine faster, after a high-calorie weekend. Also read | Fitness coach shares 10 weight loss cheat codes to drop 20 kg in 3 months: Drink water before meals to no sugar A post shared by Mahtab Ekay | Online Fitness Coach (@fitbymahtab) One day won't ruin your progress. Think about what made it fun, maybe it was spending time with loved ones, celebrating, or enjoying tasty food. It's all part of life. Just move forward and get back to your routine. Don't skip meals or eat way less to 'fix' overeating. If your daily goal is 1,700 calories, go right back to it. Cutting calories too much can lead to more overeating later in the week. Eating more than usual can cause bloating or water weight gain. Start the next day with a big glass of water and drink at least 2-3L water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Add high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, peppers, berries, apples, pears, oats, quinoa, whole wheat bread. Fiber helps with digestion and reduces bloating. You don't need extra cardio to 'burn off' the extra food. Instead, focus on walking 8-12k steps and doing your regular workouts. Strength training 3–4 times a week is still the best way to build muscle and lose fat.

Were you too strict during the week? Did you skip meals before an event? Next time, try including foods you love during the week, so you don't feel deprived, and eat a high-protein meal before events to avoid overeating.

Fitness coach who dropped 9 kilos, shares 10 calorie deficit hacks that can help in faster weight loss
Mahtab Ekay is a fitness coach who went through a drastic weight transformation and dropped 9 kilos. The fitness coach keeps sharing snippets of her weight loss journey, and tips and tricks for faster fat loss on her Instagram profile. On May 7, Mahtab shared a post noting down 10 hacks about calorie deficit that can help in faster weight loss. A post shared by Mahtab Ekay | Online Coach for Women (@fitbymahtab) This means eating fewer calories than your body burns. It's that simple. It has sugar, yes, but it also has fiber and nutrients. The extra 20 pounds you want to lose isn't from eating too many apples. Also read | Weight loss coach who dropped 7 kg shares 5 things to avoid doing to lose weight faster It's no better or worse than unfasted cardio for fat loss. What matters is being in an overall calorie deficit. Do what works best for your schedule and energy levels. Starting your day with 30+ grams of protein can help you feel fuller and reduce cravings throughout the day. But if you're someone who feels sick eating breakfast, know that it's not a deal breaker. Your overall calories and protein matter most. They're not a replacement for vegetables. Get your greens from real food, your body will thank you. As long as you're in a calorie deficit, you can enjoy them guilt-free and still see results. Calories and protein are enough to get results. It just limits your eating window. If you eat more calories than your body burns within that window, you'll still gain weight. Both can work. Low-intensity cardio is easier to recover from and doesn't leave you feeling drained.

Fitness coach shares 13 fat loss cheat codes to lose weight faster: 'Water matters more than you think'
Mahtab Ekay is an online fitness coach, who 'helps busy women lose 20 pounds (9 kg) or more without giving up their favourite food'. She has herself shed over 55 pounds (24.9 kg). In an Instagram post on May 5, Mahtab shared tips for faster weight loss. Also read | Want a flat tummy? Fitness trainer shares 5 tips to help lose belly fat: 'Avoid drinking your calories' Water plays a significant role in weight loss. Here's what a fitness coach has said. (Representative picture: Freepik) According to her, you should drink plenty of water throughout the day to boost metabolism and include protein in your every meal to build muscle and reduce hunger. In her post titled 'Fat loss cheat codes I know at 28 that I wish I knew at 18', Mahtab wrote: 'Make sleep part of your fat loss plan' 1. If you're not seeing results, it's probably a consistency issue, not your metabolism. 2. You don't need to work out every day. 3–4 solid sessions with a plan > random daily workouts. 3. Include 20–30g of protein in every meal. This helps with fat loss, muscle gain, and cravings. 4. Sleep is not a luxury. It's part of your fat loss plan. 5. You can't 'burn off' a weekend binge. One meal doesn't ruin progress, what you do next matters more. 6. Carbs are not the enemy. Balanced meals and calorie intake matter more than cutting rice or bread. 7. Water matters more than you think. Aim for half your body weight (pounds) in ounces daily. 'Walking is underrated' 8. You don't need to track carbs and fats perfectly. Calories + protein = 90% of the results. 9. Intermittent fasting isn't magic. If it works for you, great. If not, skip it. 10. Walking is underrated. A 20–30 min daily walk helps with digestion, cravings, and fat loss. 11. Fiber is your friend. Aim for 25–35g daily from real food. 12. You don't need a perfect meal plan. Just 2–3 go-to meals you enjoy and can rotate. 13. The best plan is the one you can stick to. Not the most intense one.
