I lost 30kgs and these are the 5 things I STOPPED doing 👇🏽

1. Stopping and restarting every Monday
I used to think one “bad” meal or missed workout ruined everything. So I’d wait for a fresh start every week… and stayed stuck in the same cycle. Real progress happened when I stopped being all-or-nothing and learned how to keep going even after imperfect days.
2. Under-eating protein
 I was constantly hungry, craving snacks, and never fully satisfied. Once I started prioritizing protein in my meals, I felt fuller, had better energy, and finally started seeing changes in my body composition. Check out my page for lots of protein rich meals. 
3. Waiting to feel motivated
 Motivation comes and goes. Some days I still don’t feel like working out. The biggest shift was realizing discipline matters more than motivation. Even a short workout or walk adds up when you stay consistent.
4. Doing random workouts
 I used to switch workouts constantly and do whatever looked intense online. What actually worked was following a simple routine with strength training, walking, and exercises I could realistically stick to long term.
5. Trying to be “perfect”
 I thought fat loss meant cutting out Indian food, desserts, chai, eating out, or enjoying life. But the more restrictive I became, the harder it was to sustain. Balance helped me stay consistent far longer than perfection ever did.

You do not need a perfect routine.
You need habits you can repeat even on normal busy days 💪🏼

Which one do you struggle with most?
