No matter what stage of life you are at, your health should be your top priority and this means even when you are in your 30s. Different aspects of your physical health can see an improvement when you lose excess body weight, such as blood pressure and blood sugar levels, mobility and inflammatory markers. In addition, achieving a sustainable and healthy body weight can also improve your body image, boost your confidence and reduce depression symptoms, while improving the quality of life.
But, not all weight loss methods are sustainable and appropriate. Moreover, dieting can prove to be immensely harmful for your physical as well as mental health. Fortunately, there are some tips and tricks that can help you achieve sustainable weight loss in your 30s in a healthy way. Let’s check some of them out.
Redirecting your focus
Achieving your goals is easier when you improve other aspects of your health instead of your physical appearance and body weight. This means that your desire to be accepted by other and your appearance should not be the only reason for you to want to lose weight because you are bound to lose motivation at some point. You can achieve long-term success if you are motivated by factors like improving your endurance and diet quality, boosting your energy levels and also reducing your risk of disease.
Go for produce
Research has shown that you can promote weight loss with increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables and it is also helpful in maintaining a helpful body weight. A great way to improve your diet quality, promote healthy weight loss and decrease risk of disease is to add more fruits and vegetables to your daily food intake.
Prioritize sustainability over speed
There are endless detoxes and diets that promote extreme and rapid weight loss via the use of low calorie meal plans. While these diets do promote quick weight loss, but they are not a good option when you want to sustain the weight loss because they affect your health, energy levels and your overall performance drastically. Instead, it is better to create a satisfying diet plan that gives your body the right amount of fuel, while also creating a small calorie deficit. This will lead to slower weight loss, but it decreases the chances of your regaining weight and also provides your body with the nutrients it needs.
Don’t forget daily activity
When people are trying to lose weight, they think that you have to engage in frequent high intensity activity. It is true that you can promote muscle gain and weight loss when you do so, but it is unnecessary for reaching a healthy body weight. Rather, you only need to focus on increasing your daily activity. This means that you can increase your step count. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, it is best to slowly increase your daily activity.
Do not follow an exercise or diet program that makes you feel bad because you will not be able to sustain it in the long run.
