How to lose weight!

    Weight Loss, Fitness, Lose Weight, Health, Workout

I'm a person who doesn't judge people depending on how they look, but we all are not the same. Sometimes we have our own standards for our bodies and sometimes there are people who bully us into thinking that we look ugly. Whatever the case is, this is for people who are trying to lose some weight. I was struggling with weight for years.. I was called names and being compared to other people. I tried many different things, had cried myself to sleep and hated for being stuck in a very stubborn body. Today I am in the body I always wanted. The kind of body everybody dreams of (this feels like bragging, but hell yeah I earned it... So). So I thought of openly talking about it.

Everybody knows the simplest explanation for losing weight, a calorie deficit, but we also know that it's not as simple as that... And let me tell you, I wasn't a person who ate a lot. And why wasn't I losing weight no matter what I did? Where was the problem? To understand what is happening I researched a lot and even consulted a doctor. The problem was with my metabolism. I had a very slow metabolism and oestrogen dominance on top of that! So today I will share you what I learned and hopefully you will find this helpful.

I had very stubborn arm fat and my arms were big in proportion when compared to my body and the reason was oestrogen dominance. I avoided all soy products and stopped using plastic water bottles and plates etc and finally got my results. 

Working out regularly and eating healthy food with a healthy routine is the best combo when it comes to losing weight. But the process takes time! You can't expect to lose 1kg within a week and get discouraged! It takes time girl. Trust the process!!!

The most important tip of all is don't measure the weight! measure your dimensions instead! The reason is 1kg of fat = 1kg of muscle. So if you lose fat and gained muscles you will not see a difference in weight. But the volume of 1kg of fat >>> volume of 1kg of muscles. So you will definitely see a difference in body dimensions. Keep track of the dimensions and you will see what I'm talking about!

Always add more green vegetables to your diet and drink plenty of water. Have your dinner hours before you go to sleep. ( I take mine at 6.30pm) 

Have your vitamins. Especially vitamin D, but I advise you to meet a dietician first and follow their instructions! 

I hope this short article helped you today.. And if you have any suggestions please let me know!

How to survive A/Ls in 3 months...

Today is the first of May and there are exactly three months until GCE A/L exams begin. I intend to help people who has realized this and started panicking and feeling lost, but not only A/L students but also any student with any upcoming exam can use these tips to ace your exam. I will first explain why most of us usually wait until the day before deadline to do stuff. It's explained by Parkinson's law which states that " Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". What it means is, if we are given a week to finish a task we will finish it within the week and if we are given an year to finish the same task we will spend the whole year doing it. Well that's how usually us, lazy humans work. Now that you know what happened there is no time to regret about how we procrastinated on unnecessary things etc. Now it's time to damage control. I will not gurantee you will get 3As by following these. (It's possible depending on
