Does HIIT help you lose weight?

Hi! Welcome back! So we all wonder, does HIIT really will help us lose weight? Yes, HIIT helps you lose weight!! But .. what is HIIT? How does it work? Why do I have injuries from HIIT? Why does my back hurt? Why am I always fatigued? There are answers to all of these questions here. 

HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. It is combined with cardio and body weight exercises sometimes they include weights too. If you just do cardio you'll lose weight but will you tone up? No. If you fo body weight exercise along with cardio you'll lose weight and tone up at the same time. 

Surprisingly it burns more calories than cardio and you wont get bored of running on treadmill. It also burns calories while you are at rest. Yes ! Suppose you did a HIIT workout one day and you rest the next day, you'll burn fat even on your rest day! 

But .. 

Can you do HIIT every single day in order to lose 10 kilos in 2 weeks ? 

NO !!! 

because HIIT is heavily designed to burn more calories and jumping exercises are included. Burpees are included. Doing it everyday will tire your muscles out. You'll feel sick, fatigued and you'll have no more motivation to workout. Most of the fitness experts say that your HIIT shouldn't exceed 50 minutes a week. Whether you do it once 50 minutes or you divide it for 2 day workouts. I advise you to go for divided HIIT. Doing HIIT for 50 minutes straight is dangerous too. Especially if you are a beginner. 

Also please include atleast 2 rest days in a week. Resting /stretching will help you relase your stress and will help your muscles to recover. And ! You'll lose weight easily if you include rest days. Your body needs rest honey. 

When I first discovered HIIT, I used to do 30 minutes of HIIT  everyday. But after doing HIIT (with jumps) twice, I got tired and bored. So I did a hiit with no jumping exercises and lost upto 10 lbs in a month!

Some of the best youtubers whose HIIT workouts are awesome are:

Does a vegan diet help you lose weight ?

 Hiyaa!! Welcome to my blog! I hope you are having a wonderful day, if not then its okay. Its okay to be tired of your life.  Its okay to feel what you're feeling right now. Trust the process. I am sure you'll feel better after some time.  

So, We all have seen skinny vegans at some point of our lives promoting veganism and we all have wondered if going vegan will actually help

our weight loss. But mind it, if you opt for veganism you have to take care about all the multi vitamins you're taking and whether you are getting all the nutrients that are required for our body or not. 

I opted for a vegan diet in the beginning of 2020 and let me tell you, it was BAD. I did not consult a doctor or took any of the multi  vitamin tablets needed or any other supplements these people take. I suffered. A lot. 

I only did it for like 10 days and did not even did it properly. Some day I had honey or a yogurt that wasnt from a plant based milk and someday I had so much craving for meat and many more. Also I wasnt getting proper nutrients and thus my hair started falling badly by the end of those 10 days. 

Apart from that I also plateaued on my weight and my skin was worse than ever. I am not saying that you shouldnt opt for a vegan diet or all vegans are insane. I am just saying that dont make a mistake like I did. Consult a specialist or your doctor. Take proper supplements needed and then continue with your diet. Take care and I hope you succeed.💓

Can you lose weight without working out?

 Hey there! Welcome! I am so happy that you are here to seek guidance. So many people hate working out and seek for losing weight without working out or choose fad diets which then to lose skin and skinny fatness. 

Yes, you can loose weight without working out but then these disadvantages follow. And you won't see the results you want without working out in anyway. So in my opinion you should workout if not 40-45 minutes atleast for 10 minutes everyday. You can do yoga if you dont like to jump around.

Yoga is the best low intensity but best workouts that you can do to lose weight and improve your flexibility and tone up at the same time. If you've read my earlier posts you must be knowing that I took on the Chloe Ting  14 day summer challenge and after completing that challenge I was so tired and fatigued. I hated working out so I chose yoga as my saviour. I found Boho beautiful on YouTube. Her workouts are of an intermediate level but as I had the experience of yoga I was able to do it with some difficulty only. But dont worry she also has beginner level workouts. I'll link them down below. If you find her workouts very tough, you can switch to psychetruth workouts. 

Boho beautiful is great! Her yoga workouts made me sweat and I loved it. I took her new year challenge and that gave me a good burn and I toned up a little bit. So I'd suggest that if you dont want to like workout workout you can do any physical activity you like. Like walking your pet or dancing or biking or hiking or swimming. Literally anything you like. Cooking even helps. Trust me you feel iffy before but after working out your body and mind both feel amazing. 

I hope you understand what I am trying to say and I  hope you start working out in some manner. Okay bye ! Love you! ❤

Does eating 1000 calories a day help you lose wieght weight?

 Hi, Welcome back! So, I ask you how many calories you eat in a day and you say that you dont know then you are my best friend from that day! Don't, just don't count your calories. It ruined my progress and my mind. I used to count everything I ate and be sad about how much I ate that day. 

Trust me, an app doesn't know what you need. An app doesnt know what your body needs that day. An app doesnt know that you had a bad day and and you really want to eat that ice cream that is lying in your fridge that you bought last week. 

SO! HEAR ME OUT! Please dont get into the mess of counting calories and macros and micros unless you are body building ofcourse! Eat what your mind tells you to. Listen to your body. Yes this sounds cheesy but your body ofcourse tells you what you need and what it doesn't. Your body wont thank you if you count every gram of food you eat. It will thank you if you ate what its asking for. 

The app that you downloaded  for free is ruining your life. Is taking away your happiness ! Now is being happy more wonderful or being miserable is. I say throw away the app or less aggressively uninstall it. Eat enough. Eat intuitively. Eat with all your attention. If your body really wants chocolate eat the chocolate. Just be aware that you are eating it and enjoy it. Then when your craving stops you also stop. If you practice this way of eating you'll lose weight and be happy at the same time! And NO eating 1000 calories isn't enough. It will help you lose weight but it wont be healthy and as qualitative as the 2000 or more calorie lifestyle! Okay bye for now, see ya next time ! 

Any suggestions? Drop down in the comment section. Bye ❤

Is hating yourself okay?

 Hi! Welcome back!! I am so happy you're back here. By this time, we should be like good friends right? Also tell me, do you love your self ? Your body everytime? Well to be honest, I dont. I sometimes can be like YASSS girl look at that butt and smack it and some other day I cry about how I look or how fat my arms are or how big my belly is or how jiggly my thighs are. So is self love effective like all the time? No ! I feel that it's okay to love your body sometime and call on it sometimes. 

Trust me sometimes that motivates you to achieve  something you've always wanted! Like my jiggly thighs. I know my thighs jiggle and I can think of working more on them, for them to be not to be do jiggly! I am not saying that jiggly thighs are bad but if you really want your thighs to be toned, then you'll have to work on them right . If you want to grow  that booty then you'll have  to work on them! You cant get everything on a golden platter. But! A lot of self love is VERY important too. Telling yourself that you love you and every part of you, will stop yourself from crying over it and will give you confidence.

Even if you don't grow that booty after a week, you'll have the confidence atleast that one day you will grow a booty because I am working for it! Right?! Do you agree with me on this topic ? I wanna know how you feel. Tell me. Okay so bye for now and always remember there's always people who love you no matter  what and they love you selflessly , no matter how you look, how you feel! So take an oath of loving your body now!  Dont wait for your body to become a certain shape and then love it. No! Say you love it right now ! Dont just say it though. Mean it ! Kkk bye ♡ 

These are some of the youtubers that help me love my self: 

The most favourite one is Linda sun ofcourse. I love LOVE LOVE her and almost every post of hers makes me cry.

How to lose 5 kgs or more in a month (Easily)

  Hi!! Welcome back. I am so happy and thankful to you for coming back. So I'll be sharing my story of how I lost almost 25 kilos in a year and 5 kilos in my first month.  I was so bummed out after my university exams and I felt very heavy and unhealthy, so I decided to lose weight. Yeah I know, I just want to tell you that losing weight did not make me happy. So, I just Googled out randomly an Indian diet plan to follow and saw one or two videos and decided to eat exactly as the video prompted as it looked easy. Let me tell you I wasnt sure that I would lose weight because the diet plan included everything. I got to eat roti, sabzi and dal everyday but I was deprived of rice but that was okay for me because I am not a huge fan of rice anyway. I used to eat 2  wheat bread toasts for breakfast and my dal roti and sabzi for lunch and in dinner I used to eat upma or poha. I know they are breakfast options but I like them anytime. My beginning was very healthy but my breakfast wasnt that nutritious.. I know and let me tell you it got worse. I'll talk about that in some other post but now on to the "healthy diet". I used to drink my tea with sugar and milk and used to eat 2 rotis for lunch. I was happy, I was losing weight. But along with that I did some yoga too. I did 20 minutes of yoga for losing weight, I'll link that video down if I can. I felt even lighter when I did some yoga and stretches. I don't think I drank enough water back then but it was all going wonderful and I was very happy, my parents also noticed a bit difference in my body and my figure. Now back to some advice, if you want to lose weight,  you cant hop on some crazy diet and lose weight. I mean you will lose weight like that but it won't be sustainable . The moment you drop out you'll gain all of it back or more. If you really want to lose weight, you have to opt for a sustainable and fulfilling diet plan that helps you to lose weight and get your nutrients in at the same time so you dont lose hair and your mind. I would suggest eating intuitively, eat everything you want but control your portions and eat with all your senses. Put your phone aside and concentrate on what you're eating. That way you'll get fuller easily and you will know that you're full so that you can stop. Drink atleast a gallon of water everyday and be active. It isnt necessary to workout or go to the gym, you can walk your pet or you can dance and shake your bubbly butt or just your usual household work. Just dont be lazy. Believe me if you bring small changes in your lifestyle you'll become healthy and happy or if you want to lose weight you'll lose it the correct way! Okay bye for now. See ya next time!!

How to start exercising and get the body you have always wanted

 Helloo there, welcome back! Today I'll tell you about how you can start exercising and not hate it. So if you've read my earlier posts you'll know that I started a journey back in 2019 and I've lost around 50 lbs. So in the beginning I did yoga as I mentioned in my last post. I did that and only that for about a month and lost 9 lbs. So if you cant do burpees and pushups you might wanna hop on to yoga. It is a real burner and it makes you feel light and confident. Then after a month I DISCOVERED blogilates. I started doing her 10 min or 12 min workouts. I did them for a week or so and then stopped. I just want to say that Cassey the queen is not a problem .. I am the problem! I just get bored easily. So I started googling and came across Chloe Ting. She wasn't this famous back then. I came across her 14 day summer shred challenge and started doing it. And I'll just say OH MAN. Her workouts killed me like literally I used to be drenched in sweat. I workout early in the mornings and oh man I used to wake up cursing her(No offence) But yeah .. I hated it! Still I did them  and on my final day of the challenge I measured myself for the first time in 6 months. I ofcourse didnt remember where I had noted down my measures but I had an image of faint 33 inches waist. So I measured myself and it was 31 inches! YAY ! So overall the progress motivated me to go on and on. It wasnt all the motivational videos I watched and the results of other people I watched. The 2 inches that i lost were staring at me and Saying that if you stop working out. BITCH we'll come back and this time with our kids! So I did not stop. But let me tell you I stopped Chloe Tings workouts. Yes because I hated them. I love chloe ting but I wasnt ready to die every single day. Oh yes ! I totally forgot that during her challenge I did light stretching or yoga in the evening. So I dropped her challenge and switched to yoga again. And now I am proud of myself for being in the place I am right now. So just cling on to something that makes you happy and doesnt kill you. Unless you like being killed! Just move your body in some or the other way  trust me you'll get better results. Always remember.  Its 70% diet and 30 whole % of your exercise! Okay bye for now. See ya next time!
