The problem is \u2013 it might feel good for a little while, but sooner or later you realize it simply isn\u2019t sustainable, or even that much fun. <em>\u201cQuick fixes will also translate to quick or short-term effects as well<\/em>,\u201d says registered dietician Joy Moreno. She also adds that skipping meals is one of the most common mistakes Pinoys do when they want to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>This will deplete your body of energy and hinder you from being productive at work.\u00a0<em>\u201cThey don\u2019t realize\u00a0that they\u00a0can actually gain more weight because of this. The tendency is to have\u00a0\u2018brunch\u2019 so they eat more food in one go rather than\u00a0eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on\u00a0time with the right proportions,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Joy shared. Many crash dieters struggle to maintain their new weight once they return to their normal eating habits.\u00a0In fact, many a times\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2010\/HEALTH\/04\/20\/crash.diets.harm.health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">crash diets actually do more harm than good.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Unhealthy weight loss can\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/resources\/fitness\/why-crash-diets-don-t-work#close\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cause bones to lose density and become weaker.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0You may feel more tired or sluggish because your body isn\u2019t getting the proper nutrients to function properly. This can lead to a weaker immune system and a string of cardiovascular problems and affect your mental effectivity as well. We don&#8217;t want you crashing in the middle of a big meeting or project! Simply put, there is no magic formula to lose unwanted weight. In order to lose weight effectively in the long run, \u00a0Joy recommends a\u00a0balanced diet and exercise that you can\u00a0make a lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Thou_Shall_Get_Out_of_Your_Fitness_Comfort_Zone\"><\/span><strong>2.

Thanks to the seemingly infinite world of technology, there are plenty of creative ways to live a fun yet healthy lifestyle. If your gym attendance has significantly dwindled last year, then it\u2019s time to come up with a new fitness routine. Thanks to fitness start-ups like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/guavapass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guava Pass<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kfit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KFit,<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0you can try out different classes such as boxing, yoga, and even fencing without burning a hole in your wallet. Some companies and offices also have gyms within the building or vicinity, which I&#8217;m sure you knew. It&#8217;s about time to use those corporate memberships!<\/p>\n<p>Getting out of your fitness comfort zone doesn\u2019t mean making\u00a0a drastic change. Find ways to challenge yourself, even if it means increasing that treadmill speed up by 1.0 or running for an additional 5 minutes to your usual routine. Pretty soon you\u2019ll find yourself breezing through what you thought was\u00a0\u2018impossible\u2019 before. Joy recommends at least 30 minutes per day for exercise. \u201cIt is important not to\u00a0only nourish your body with proper diet but our body needs to be balanced with physical activity\u00a0as well,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Thou_Shall_Understand_the_Importance_of_Emotional_and_Mental_Well-being\"><\/span>3.

Let go of that misconception that resting will hinder you from achieving your fitness goals.<\/p>\n<p>Your immune system requires time to fully recover the muscles engaged from your workout. Beyond your workout, mental stress from work can manifest physically so you shouldn&#8217;t burden yourself. Try practicing &#8220;work ends at the office&#8221; and give yourself the break you deserve at the end of the day. Allow your body to rest when it tells you to. Plus, it will also avoid work burnout. By shifting your focus on other things, you\u2019ll be able to jump back into your work and workout program refreshed and ready to go.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Thou_Shall_Love_Your_Body_No_Matter_What\"><\/span>5.

Instead of striving to personify the ideal definition\u00a0of \u2018skinny\u2019 that is perpetuated\u00a0by the media, focus on prioritizing on what is good for your body \u2013 nutritious food, fun yet challenging exercises, and activities that will enrich your emotional wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>Adult coloring books, anyone? \u201cSet goals and be disciplined.
