1. Healthy diet
A nutritious diet that ensures a calorie deficit is a prerequisite for achieving the goal of fat loss. First, you should pay attention to consuming proteins such as fish, chicken breast, beef... limit the use of pork; healthy fats such as butter, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil... plant proteins include lentils, seeds, soybeans... For fiber, you can use asparagus, spinach, cabbage, zucchini...
These food groups help your body stay full for a long time, avoiding snack cravings. The best way to consume these foods is to eat them raw, boiled or stir-fried, limit grilling and absolutely do not fry.
2. Reduce calorie intake
Reducing your calorie intake can help you lose weight quickly. However, you should reduce it gradually to give your body time to adjust and adapt, not suddenly.
If you currently consume 2,000 calories/day, reduce 400 calories, which means you consume 1,600 calories in the first week. In the second week, reduce another 400 calories to 1,200 calories. Follow an 800 to 1,000 calorie diet for the last two weeks. So in just one month, plus exercise, you will likely lose 2 - 4kg (depending on your body) to welcome Tet.
3. Increase HIIT and Cadio exercises
HIIT and cardio are exercises that help train cardiovascular health by performing short high-intensity exercises with intermittent rest. To support weight loss, you should prioritize exercises such as sprinting, squatting, kicking, sit-ups... which are very good for toning the abdomen and thighs. From there, wearing clothes for Tet will no longer be your worry.
4. Walk 5,000 to 10,000 steps/day
Normally, a sedentary person will walk 2,000 steps/day, however, to lose weight quickly for Tet, you should walk 5,000 steps.
Useful tips to increase your step count include walking around the office for 5-10 minutes after every hour of work, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going to the grocery store, or walking your pet. Even if you’re not trying to lose weight, you should maintain this habit over time to improve your overall health.
