In the caption of her post, Nikki shared the mistakes that she used to make while trying to lose weight, including putting pressure on herself. “I used to put so much pressure on myself to see results fast, and it always led to me resorting to my old unhealthy habits,” she wrote in the caption. The fitness influencer added that she had to work on ‘improving her mindset and learning how to properly fuel and move her body’. It helped her finally achieve success. “I started small and worked my way up to more consistent and healthy habits and continue to take it a day at a time,” she added.

As per Nikki, fuelling your body is equally necessary as working out. If you want an ‘extreme fat loss’ and protein-rich diet to shed those kilos, an Instagram user shared the South Indian meal plan that helped him lose 35 kg and go from 105 kg to 70 kg. See here.
