Are you tired of restrictive diets, confusing advice, and endless workouts that don’t seem to work? You’re not alone! As an aesthetic doctor, I often get asked, “What’s the best way to lose weight that actually works?” The answer doesn’t have to be complicated. Let’s dive into some simple, science-backed tips that will help you lose weight, feel great, and achieve your best body—all without stress or extreme measures.
Understand Why You Want to Lose Weight
Before diving into weight loss, it’s important to understand your “why.” Is it to feel healthier, to have more energy, or to look better? Knowing your motivation helps you stay on track and keep your goals realistic. Weight loss should be about improving your overall well-being, not just hitting a specific number on the scale.
1. Start with Small Changes
You don’t need to change your entire lifestyle overnight. Start small. Focus on cutting out sugary drinks, reducing portion sizes, or adding an extra 10-minute walk to your day. Small, consistent changes add up over time and are easier to stick with.
2. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
The first thing to remember is that weight loss is a journey, not a race. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t see immediate results. Small changes over time can make a huge difference. It’s about creating healthy habits that you can stick to in the long run. Start by setting realistic goals—whether that’s shedding a few pounds, feeling more energised, or just being able to climb the stairs without feeling winded. Oftentimes, these goals are not visible overnight, it’s only when you look back in time you will realise how much you have achieved.
3. Eat Smart, Not Less
You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. In fact, cutting calories too much can backfire, making you feel tired and hungry all the time. Long term fasting causes your basal metabolism rate to reduce. Instead, focus on what you’re eating, not just how much. A balanced diet with plenty of veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats will keep you satisfied and help you lose weight the right way. Look into healthier ways of preparing food such as boiling, steaming, stir frying, air frying, roasting or baking. Avoid deep frying or using extra butter/oil.
- Protein: Helps build muscle and keeps you full longer.
- Fiber: fruits, veggies, and whole grains help with digestion and control hunger.
- Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, and olive oil are good for your heart and help you feel satisfied.
4. Keep Moving (But Don’t Overdo It)
Exercise is important, but you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see results. Even just 30 minutes a day of activity, like walking, swimming, or cycling, can make a difference. The key is consistency—find something you enjoy and stick with it. You will be more willing to do it if you choose an exercise that you love.
Strength training, like lifting weights, is also important because it builds muscle. And guess what? Muscle burns more calories, even when you’re at rest. So, don’t be afraid to lift those weights!
5. Drink More Water
It might sound too simple, but drinking water is one of the easiest ways to support weight loss. Sometimes, when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually just thirsty! Drinking a glass of water before meals can also help control your portions.
6. Get Enough Sleep
Did you know that sleep can affect your weight? When you don’t get enough rest, your body produces more hunger hormones, making you crave sugary and high-fat foods. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to keep your body in balance.
7. Be Kind to Yourself
It’s normal to have days where you don’t eat perfectly or skip a workout. Don’t let one slip-up derail your progress. Weight loss is about balance, not deprivation. Celebrate your small wins and don’t focus on setbacks. We understand that everyone has a different daily schedule and can be unpredictable at times. It is okay to have rest days but do not forget to pick up where you left off!
8. Consider Professional Help for Extra Support
If you’ve tried everything and are still struggling to lose weight, it may be time to seek professional help. As an aesthetic doctor, I can help you explore treatments that may complement your weight loss journey, such as body contouring or fat reduction procedures. These treatments are designed to target stubborn areas that exercise and diet might not address, giving you an extra boost of confidence. There are treatments that can boost basal metabolic rate, reduce body fat and build muscle tone with the help of supplements, injections and machines.
A Healthier You is Around the Corner
At the end of the day, weight loss should be about becoming the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not just about the number on the scale but how you feel physically and mentally. Take your time, make sustainable changes, and enjoy the journey to a healthier, more confident you!
Remember, your body is unique, and so is your weight loss journey. Take it one step at a time, your best body is within reach—let’s get there together!
