MULTIVITAMINS
You need a good amount of vitamins to stay healthy. A particular group helps with your metabolism
The group includes;
- B Vitamins
- Vitamin D (can be also found by mild sun exposure)
- Calcium
- Iron
- Magnesium
You can find all these in adult multivitamins. To get a good balance, take both a half dose of an adult vitamin, and a half dose of an 50+ vitamin. For example, if both of their instructions say to take two gummies, then take one gummy from each for a total of two.
B-vitamins;
- B1-Thiamin
- B2-Riboflavin
- B3-Niacin
- B5-Pantothenic Acid
- B6-Pyridoxine
- B7-Biotin
- B9-Folate/Folic Acid
- B12-Cyanocobalamin
MINDSET
- Don't see it as limiting yourself. Rather, see it as a minimalist ascetic lifestyle
- When you're craving something, imagine yourself eating it, then say to yourself "alright I'm done". Then do something else.
- "You are not hungry, you're just empty"
- "No food tastes as good as weight loss"
- Think about how much progress you have made, and how much you have to go
- Think about your ideal body
- Meditate on your hunger and why you're compelled to eat
- Congratulate yourself on how far you've gone
- Remember cravings are just quirks of brain chemistry
- Reframe comfort foods into the healthier alternatives above
BEHAVIOR;
- Keep busy, boredom makes you feel hungry.
- Go for walks, do weight lifts, and isometric exercises
- Drink water first when you are hungry
- Only eat when you are truly hungry
- Do duels with foam swords with friends
- Do shadow boxing
- Wear weights on your legs at home
- Limit your spending on food groceries by setting a budget (ex. $150 for two weeks)
- Eat less carbs, more protein
GETTING TONED;
- Do strength training on flabby "problem" areas (lifting weights, etc...) If you don't have weights, research isometric exercises
- Do bodybuilding
- Do cardio
