Post lockdown weight gain or getting out of shape has been reported from around the world by those who remained safe from Covid-19 or coronavirus. While it is good that you remained safe during pandemic, it is highly important that you start paying attention to your diet before it hits you in the form of obesity.
It is time to reverse your weight gain
If you were fit and fine before lockdown which was imposed in March April 2020 and remained fully or partially effective for almost 6 months, then you can still reverse your obesity. However, you must be highly motivated to ensure that you stick to your fat loss program without deviating during the upcoming festive season.
One Mistake Can Put You Years Behind
If you take it lightly assuming that Christmas weight gain is something you cannot avoid, then I must say that it will be more difficult for you to reverse your fat gain, than if you start now. We have done a lot of new things during Covid-19 lockdown anyway. So, why not avoid binge eating or overeating during this festive season if getting back in shape is going to be your priority in 2021? By not starting now, you can be years behind as far as weight loss is concerned.
How to Prepare for Fat Loss in 2021
The sooner you start the better. The best way will be to spend some time in thinking and jotting down the new eating habits that you developed during the lockdown. If you can undo them on your own, nothing like that. If you cannot, which is the case for most of those who gained weight in the last six months, then start using an app or take the help of a coach. There is no harm in taking expert advice and following it. Apps like Noom can help you reset your eating habits.
Do Not Set Unrealistic Health Goal
It is pretty simple. You gained weight in 6 months, so it will not go away in 6 weeks. It will take at least 3 months to reverse your additional weight unless you make it a mission to burn fat and do nothing else. However, it will still be not as fast as you can assume. Unrealistic expectations will lead to disappointment and eventually you will quit your program and switch back to your old eating habits.
Word of Precaution
No matter what exercise method or weight loss program you choose, you must ensure that you stick to your health advisories issued by your local government officials. Safety from pandemic must still be your priority. Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing must not be forgotten. The best and safest way is to avoid going to gyms even if they are open, and try to start a fat loss program you can follow at home.
