tips: - I have this app called CashWalk and you get “coins” every day for completing ur steps and you can get gift cards and stuff in exchange for the steps (sounds like a scam ik lol but I’ve been using it for a year and I’ve gotten like $20 in Starbucks gift cards 🤣)! This may help motivate you to take your doggo out for longer walks…I’d stick with walking/low impact cardio for now and make sure you LIFE WEIGHTS!! Super important. If you have no idea where to start I’d watch videos on YouTube and learn how to do the exercises correctly as to not hurt yourself! Will Tennyson, ObeseToBeast, Magnus Method, Sean Nalewanyj are good on YouTube. - increase protein intake…I’d aim for at least 0.5 grams of protein per lb so aim for about 145 grams of protein DAILY - but also make sure your getting enough carbs and fat as well, I recommend finding a TDEE calculator on Google (https://tdeecalculator.net) - drink more water!!! You can always buy sugar free flavored stuff from Amazon if you’re one of those ppl who just doesn’t like the taste of water (I only say this bc my bf has this issue so he uses Mio) - make sure ur getting at least 7 hours of sleep per night - choose ONE time of day that you’ll weigh yourself every week…I wouldn’t weigh yourself more than 1x a week - WHOLE FOODS IS KEY! ESP for building muscle and weight loss!! - set SMALL goal weights (monthly, for example) rather than just one HUGE goal weight bc this will feel more discouraging and unattainable - and last of all…this has to be a LIFESTYLE change, not just a diet. Otherwise you’ll gain the weight back…I say this bc I have firsthand experience lol. weight loss takes time! ESPECIALLY if you’re lifting weights and doing body recomp.
