Managing weight and maintaining a gym routine can be particularly challenging for those who lack motivation. However, fitness influencer Ridhi Sharma has successfully navigated this journey, shedding 23 kg and providing a guide for those who may consider themselves less active. In a three-part series, Ridhi detailed her strategies for weight loss and her transformation into a healthier individual.

Eliminate deadlines for weight loss and focus on consistent exercise

In a recent video, Ridhi encouraged individuals on a weight-loss journey to abandon the notion of setting deadlines. Identifying herself as someone who has struggled with patience, she emphasized that if she could remain dedicated for an entire year to achieve her fat loss goals, then anyone is capable of doing the same. “Do you believe that working out for just two weeks and dieting for two months will yield your ideal physique? Even instant noodles take longer than two minutes to prepare. Cease imposing deadlines on your weight loss,” she remarked.

Furthermore, she recommended that her audience engage in workouts lasting 30 minutes, four to five times a week. “It’s called a grind for a reason. If it were simple, everyone would possess six-pack abs,” she noted.

What to eat without starving yourself

In another segment, Ridhi unveiled her meal plan that supported her weight loss efforts. To maintain a balanced diet without feeling deprived, she advised selecting 5-8 meals to rotate throughout the week, opting for options that are either simple to prepare or easily accessible. Here is her meal plan:

Breakfast:

Protein shake

Lunch:

1. Salad (cucumber and tomatoes), Besan chilla with paneer, and Greek yoghurt raita

2. Salad, dal chilla with paneer

3. Salad, oats uttapam, and Greek yoghurt raita

4. Salad, paneer sabji, and besan roti

5. Salad, chana sabji, besan roti, and Greek yoghurt raita

6. Salad, chole sabji, besan roti, and Greek yoghurt raita

Dinner:

1. Sautéed veggies, quinoa, and paneer

2. Quinoa and paneer sabji

3. Avocado toast

4. Avocado sandwich

5. Chana Greek yoghurt papdi chaat

While this meal plan can be beneficial, she stressed the importance of portion control. “Whenever you indulge in junk food, ensure that you consume whole foods 80% of the time and allow yourself the freedom to enjoy whatever you desire for the remaining 20%. Avoid excessive restrictions, as that is akin to rekindling a relationship with an ex; it simply does not work,” Ridhi advised.

How to work out if you are lazy?

In the concluding segment, Ridhi provided strategies for maintaining an exercise routine for those who may feel unmotivated. She recommended initiating a daily goal of walking between 7,000 to 10,000 steps. For individuals working remotely, she advised, “Whenever you find yourself in a meeting where your supervisor is claiming credit for your contributions, consider picking up your phone or laptop and walking around. What alternative actions do you have? If you wish to share gossip with your close friends, then stand up and stretch your neck. For introverts, simply connect your earphones, play an energetic playlist, and take a walk.”

Conversely, for those employed in an office setting, she suggested taking a walking break whenever the team pauses for a break. Ridhi shared that she practiced this as well, stating, “I used to do this too, and my average step count exceeded 10,000.”
