On March 26., Mahtab shared a post addressing how we can make our weight loss journey easy and fast. “If I was trying to make losing weight as easy as possible, I’d start doing these 7 things today,” she wrote.
Have veggies for breakfast
Fill your breakfast with veggies, protein, and fat. This will keep you full for 4–5 hours, reduce sugar cravings, and prevent snacking or binging later.
Fiber with every meal
Add a fiber source to each meal. Aim for 25–35g daily. Great sources include apples, pears, edamame, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, oats, and whole-grain bread. Also read | Weight loss coach shares 5 game-changing habits that can make weight loss fast and smooth
No smacks with carbs
Avoid snacking on carbs. Save sweet cravings for dessert after a main meal instead of eating them on an empty stomach.
Set small goals for every day
Set a daily step goal and break it into smaller chunks. For example, a 20-min morning walk, two 20-min walks after meals, and a 30–40 min evening walk with your family or friends can help you easily hit 10k steps.
Hydrate
Drink more water. You need half your body weight in pounds in ounces of water daily. Easy hack: get a big water bottle, fill it in the morning, and sip throughout the day.
Add more protein
Double down on your protein. No need for fancy recipes—just build on what you’re already eating. Add egg whites to eggs, use cottage cheese in sandwiches, or eat a full chicken breast instead of half.

Have your favourite dessert
Have your favorite dessert daily (if you want it). Pick one dessert you love the most, enjoy it every day, and skip the rest of the sweets.
