Add strength training to your routine

If you’re not already doing strength work in your fitness routine, it’s time to change that. During a weight loss journey, many think you have to do a lot of cardio including cycling and running. There’s a misconception that sweating a lot leads to weight loss. Weight and strength training is very important for a fitness journey.

Consume sufficient fiber

Along with protein, fiber is a diet staple for weight loss. Ensuring sufficient fiber intake makes you feel full and helps you avoid eating too much of the other things during a meal. It is also important for bowel movement.

Some of the best high-fiber foods for weight loss include fresh figs, almonds, flaxseeds, blackberries, baked acorn squash, edamame, bulgur, and raw avocados. We’d say it’s about time to update your shopping list. (Just be sure to drink plenty of water when boosting the amount of fiber you eat!)

Tomato Toast with Charred Corn Butter
Serves 4, 1 starch, 1/2 vegetable, 1 1/2 fat

Ingredients
1 large ear fresh corn, husked
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 small clove garlic, grated (about ¼ teaspoon)
¼ teaspoon salt
4 slices whole-wheat country bread, toasted
4 slices heirloom tomato (½-inch thick), halved
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Ground black pepper for garnish (optional)

Directions
Cut kernels from husked corn. Use a large chef’s knife to scrape the milk from the corn cob into a small bowl; discard the cob. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels; cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most kernels are charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer to the bowl with the corn milk; set aside to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Make tiny changes during your day

Small changes can make a big difference in the long run. Little things like opting for the stairs rather than taking the elevator or escalator, for instance, will help you increase your daily step count and burn more calories. It’s a quick opportunity to get a few extra steps in, and those small changes add up when it comes to contributing to your fitness journey.

Cut back on snacking

Constantly reaching for snacks throughout the day is a surefire way to add unwanted, excess calories to your daily count, along with unhealthy ingredients. Cut down on snacking throughout the days. I am a big snacker as well, and when you’re bored you tend to snack, consuming a lot of calories you don’t need. Many snacks contain a lot of sugar and calories that we don’t need to eat throughout our day.
