@LetsGetThisBread @SergioRamos be like-We wanna shed some weight. 

Poor me-


Lol! 


I was a perfectly healthy looking person till the time I entered this arena! 

After moving to  Delhi, its understandable but I started losing even when I was at home. 


Hum toh genetically hai. Between 2013-2020, I have eaten junk and unhealthy food on almost a regular basis. Par bad fats bhi nahi lagte. Bas 5 kgs more and I'll get that desired 60s weight. Lol

Friends, something off-topic, and something many people scorn at, or don't give two hoots about; yet something which might save you a lot of stress in the future. Some wholly and utterly unsolicited (unwelcome?) advice: Consider gradually reducing use of Google services, and think twice before buying Apple devices. Save yourself from the FAANGs (pun totally intended) of Big Tech:

So, if you see any posts from this account Selling anything or trying to scam, they wouldn't be from me. Someone would have gained unauthorized access to this account.

@LetsGetThisBread It's on and off exercising these days. I walk daily for half  an hour though. 


Staying active can really help as a good way to beat stress. I also had a crippling YouTube addiction and ironically i came across a productivity video on YouTube itself (the algorithm realised i had a problem 😐). Essentially, it called for a dopamine detox, which is basically keep your phones and other devices away for 3 days. So no texting, no social media, no TV, no movies, basically anything that would lead to a dopamine spike, and as for hobbies you’re only allowed to read books, go for a walk, talk to people, sing etc. I have to say it really worked for me because after those 3 days I didn’t feel the need to fall back into my YouTube pattern again.

But as a self discipline thing just so that after your detox, you don’t flood your system again with dopamine, I also keep a 7 video limit on a daily basis. I select the things i want to watch in the beginning the day. And keep them in my watch later. I’m only allowed to watch those and nothing else. If something else tempts me I keep it for the next day instead. 


As far as snacking goes, and late night snacking goes, i would suggest keeping a cutoff time by which you have to stop snacking. For me that tends to be 7:30. No food besides water beyond that time. More often than not, its not hunger but boredom that makes us want to snack at odd hours. I realised tis one of those things where you literally have to remind your brain that its no longer stuck in the “cave man times” when food was scarce and every call for hunger had to be answered immediately. So i usually do two things: 1. ask myself to wait for haf an hour and d something else instead. That usually takes care of it. 2. I ask myself if this is hunger that can be satiated with a healthy snack like a fruit or a glass of milk instead. Usually, if you say no, it goes to show that you’re not actually hungry but just craving salt and sugar.


Also a must have is to keep healthy snack options at home. Sprouts, fruit, salads, milk. And actively choose those instead of unhealthy snacks first. A little indulgence is okay but it shouldn’t become the only thing you choose regularly. 


I not a health and fitness expert, but just someone who is trying to figure out ways to be healthy around this prep.

This reminds me of a video that helped me reduce my time spent on youtube. Ironically, on youtube itself😂

I had developed a ytshorts not addiction exactly but something like that.

I realized that generally, it is  because I'm looking for something like this random movie I watched once that made me feel good and because I have no subscriptions , no tv , youtube is the only source and every time I scroll it is the anticiptation that next thing on screen would make me feel better and then I will put the phone down. But, all I get in return is insanity and a shortened attention span. 

+ putting limit on the number of videos to watch is a brilliant idea. It will also invoke some introspection as to why I want to  watch this video.

So relatable. It is exactly what you said, the “next thing will be better” syndrome
