News Topical, Digital Desk : Sustainable Weight Loss: When we start losing weight, we all have the same thought: sweat it out in the gym and eliminate carbs. Potatoes, roti, and rice become our enemies, while the treadmill and grilled chicken become our new best friends. But what we believe to be true may actually be a myth. Tamannaah Bhatia's fitness coach, Siddharth Singh, has revealed this. In a social media post, he clearly stated that 40 to 50 minutes of cardio daily and completely eliminating carbs is a shortcut to fat loss, but not a sustainable path. If this formula really worked, why would people even turn to a trainer? Simply put, this approach doesn't yield results for most people. Let's tell you what he said.
Why doesn't this quick fix formula last?
Fitness coach Siddharth Singh explains that the weight loss from prolonged cardio and a zero-carb diet isn't actual fat loss, but mostly water and glycogen. This has adverse effects on us, such as:
- Tiredness
- irritability
- Intense carbs cravings
- regaining the same weight as before
That's why many people start a no-carb diet, but within a few weeks they return to where they started.
Then what is the use?
Now the question arises: what really works? Here, Siddharth explains that only long-term changes lead to real fat loss.
He offers some advice, such as:
- Choose activities that you really enjoy
- Increase protein and real food in your daily diet
- Don't try to be perfect, just be consistent
Why is strength training important?
Siddharth explains that just walking won't suffice. Cardio helps you burn calories, but it doesn't build muscle, and without muscle, metabolism doesn't accelerate. This is why we need a balanced plan. This includes:
Strength Training
- light cardio
- Daily activities (such as walking)
This combination reduces fat and also gives shape to the body.
Starter Plan: How to get started
Now let's show you how to create a simple plan that's easy to follow and can be followed for a long time.
- Strength training 3 days a week
- 2 to 3 short cardio or conditioning sessions
- Light walks daily
- Start your day with a protein-rich breakfast
- Controlled amounts of carbs around workouts
- Focus on sleep, water, and stress
Always keep one thing in mind that whatever routine you are making, make it such a routine that can last for months, not weeks.
