Losing weight becomes more challenging as we age. Hormonal changes and a slower metabolism make it harder to shed pounds. For busy office workers in their 30s and above, juggling responsibilities can leave little time and energy for exercise or healthy meal prep. While it can be tough, it’s not impossible. Here are some tips to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle in your 30s and beyond.
Sleep adequately and set small goals
Catching enough Zzz’s is directly related to weight control. The hormone melatonin, which regulates our sleep-wake cycle, also helps to stimulate metabolism. Therefore, getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night is essential for weight control. Before going to bed, set small goals for the next day. For example, you could aim to drink two glasses of water right after you wake up, or squeeze in a 15-minute meditation session before your morning shower. These small daily commitments might seem small but they add up in a big way in the long run.
Exercise through daily activities
One of the biggest challenges for office workers in their 30s and above is finding the time to exercise. Plus, hitting the gym after work can be a traffic nightmare, and who wants boring salad every night? These approaches can feel restrictive and might not be sustainable in the long run. Instead, exercise can sneak into your day without a huge overhaul. Try swap the elevator for the stairs, for example. It’s a small change, but those extra steps can really add up. You might be surprised at how many extra steps you can conquer without even leaving the building.
No Meal Skipping & Eat Protein
Attempting to lose weight by starving yourself may appear to be a quick fix, but it’s a recipe for disaster. Shedding pounds doesn’t have to be a battle against your body. You can easily lose weight by simply choosing what you eat. Protein should at all costs be your new BFF when it comes to weight loss. Think juicy grilled chicken, salmon with a flavorful drizzle or a veggie scramble packed with protein power. Plus, protein helps your body burn fat more efficiently during your workouts. Don’t forget that starving yourself might seem like a shortcut but your body is smarter than that. It’ll go into storage mode, clinging to every calorie you do manage to sneak in. Feed yourself with the right stuff and your body will thank you for it!
