My Weight Loss Journey | How I Lost 30KG (60+Pounds!) |

Hi guys! In this video I get personal about My Weight Loss Journey and How I Lost 30kg as a teen. These are the tips that helped me along the way and hopefully, some of you will find them useful too! Thank you so much for watching!

*Trigger Warning
If you have/are struggling with an eating disorder or find topics like calorie counting to be a sensitive subject please do not watch the video! Your recovery and mental health is way more important!

Also, I want to make it clear that the figure on the scale is not the important part! This is different for everyone and by no means am I suggesting anyone with a similar figure should lose weight! This is purely based off of my previous and current lifestyle.

TIPS from my personal weight loss journey (almost 20KG of fat loss in 5 months !) :

I came from the same situation : 89KG for 1, 73M, very sedentary and ashamed of myself.
I started taking things in control in July 2021.
So far, in December 2021 I lost 15KG on the scale, plus muscle gain (since a major part of my workout schedule is musculation).
I went from 89KG to 74KG in 5 month.

The last thing I wanted was to diet and torture myself, because it has never worked for me before.

What I did :

- doing some fondamental research about nutrition
- calling my new diet a "food rebalancing” = I didnt focus on calories. Only on getting all my nutrients AND NOTHING MORE
- getting enough SLEEP : I realized that when I am tired, my body craves for junk food and forgets about balance
- cutting off most processed food and junk (where you can find a huge amount of useless calories, sugar and toxins)
- baking my own treats, choosing my portions and finding healthier alternatives (ex: crushed banana to replace sugar)
- finding my personal balance between protein, carbs and fats
- listing my favorite food in those three categories and making my meals around these

=> when my diet got really balanced and healthy, I realized I couldnt even reach my usual amount of calories ! I was always in a deficit BUT was still getting all the nutrients my body needed to feel energized and satiated.

- speeding my metabolism :
- drinking 2 to 3L of water a day
- drinking teas and infusions
- lowering coffee to 1 or two per day
- first thing in the morning : having a lemon juice cut with water
- chia seed with oatmeal and crushed banana (for sweetness) for breakfast
- from time to time : ginger in my tea

=> eating healthy food and adding diuretic tips (lemon, tea, chia, ginger) was a true DETOX for me, and that is crucial : initially, your body makes body fat in order to protect your organs from toxins, its like a shield. SO draining the toxins tells your body he doesnt have to maintain this shield anymore => it can eventually release the fat ! Doing this I lost about 3KG in 15 days.

- breaking sedentary lifestyle :
- doing 6000 to 1000 step per day
- stand up every hour to walk around my apartment, do some chores, make some tea...
- planning at least one outing per day

- WORKOUT
- ask yourself which sport attracts you (me : Ive always loved water so I started to swim and then discovered aquabike, aquaboxing, aquagym etc. ; and I was fascinated by the world of boxing so I started boxing in a club)
- dont kill yourself with cardio : it works short term for calorie loss, but musculation will help you lose more calories during AND after the workout (because muscle recovery takes energy to your body)
- do a little bit of cardio for STAMINA => the more you have, the longer and harder youll be able to workout !!
- make workout a part of your daily planning : dont be like "I know I HAVE to workout today so Ill do it when I have the time – probably at 10p.m.". Me : I decided to register to lessons in a club, so my workouts are proper outings (including socially !) and they are scheduled.
- workout three to six times a week, with intensity and activity variations ! Me : I do boxing twice a week, have a dancing class, workout on weight machines with a group of women once a week, and end my week in a pool where I do a bit of aquabike and hydraulic massage !

DISCIPLINE IS KEY. You can get motivated for a week or two, but consistency then becomes a problem, it is short term journey can't lie when we rely on motivation. discipline is the medicine we need to stay consistent

I recently lost 23kg, I used to be 77kg but after 6 months of calorie deficit I dropped to 54kg and I couldn't be happier. My relationship with my body and food is so much better, I eat whatever I want but in moderation!

[maann]

I know alot of people shit on weightloss, but weightloss for me and getting fit gave me the motivation for life again, I was overweight and depressed, I hated how I looked and how I felt.
Losing weight gave me a new love for life.

[alvinajjacobs]

"I have struggled with my weight my whole life" I felt that deeply😭

To anyone who's reading this:
You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful.
Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do!
I hope you have a fantastic day :))

Her accent is so beautiful. I love the way she explains things haha

My hack: when im hungry or when i just get a craving, i drink water AND i try to do something at the same time, so i look at Youtube, instagram or just read a book but one of my favorite motivation quote is “the snack you’ve been craving for an hour or the body you’ve been craving for years?”

[shaynamartinson]

The don’t eat while standing up is such a great tip that I’ve never heard of before! It’s so easy for me to do especially when cooking meals. I definitely plan on incorporating this into my life! Thank you! You’ve made amazing progress! Great video :)

[rachaelrebecca]

It’s so funny you said to watch YouTube for motivation cause that’s literally what I’m doing rn with your video! I’m currently 29lbs down and struggling a little knowing I still have a long way to go so I’m constantly looking for motivation to help me out. Congrats on your weight loss!

"dont eat while standing"
me while cookng: grabs chocolate and sits on kitchen floor

[loseweightwithang]

I'm glad you're being real with people about how to lose weight sustainably. It took me a year and a half to lose 40 pounds, but I've kept it off and never felt like I was starving.

[thebiz]

Also, can I just say I love how open you are about loving to eat lmao. So many influencers that give diet and fitness advice like to pretend they never have cravings and being skinny is a breeze for them, so its refreshing to hear someone who successfully lost the weight be honest about it.
