3. She said, “Walking melts fat easily: target 8–10K steps a day, it can make a huge difference.”
4. According to her, “Sugar is the real enemy: cut down on sodas, juice, and pastries, and you’ll see results faster.”
5. Amaka shared, “Strength training is far better than endless cardio: lifting weights burns fat even while you’re resting.”
‘Just focus on being consistent’
6. She added, “Always prioritise sleep because poor sleep increases your stress level, gives you more cravings and slows your metabolism.”
7. The fitness coach also made a case for drinking water before and after meals. “This is key to staying satisfied with your meal portions and stopping overeating. This is a good hack to avoid going for an extra because you will be too full,” she said.
8. Amaka also said, “Don’t chase perfection. Please just focus on being consistent, because that will bring you true and lasting results.”
9. According to her, “The scale lies honestly... just focus on measurements, constantly take pictures and use that to determine your progress and also how your clothes fit.”
10. “Be patient and trust the process, show up each day, set daily and weekly goals and set a rule to achieve them at least 80 percent, as these add up to big results and be assured the results will show, and you will be glad you stayed consistent till the end,” she concluded.
