‘Hydration is one of the ways in which you burn fat’
Ravisha, who has a young daughter, said, "I implemented these three things and made them a part of my everyday life that has helped me lose just over 8 kg, going from 55 kg to 47 kg in less than five weeks. I struggled, however, for an entire year with my postpartum weight. Despite all of my efforts, I was unable to lose a single kg or cm until I made these three things a part of my everyday life. By the way, if you are new here, my name is Ravisha Chinnappa. I am going to be 35, and I am from South Africa."
She then began listing the changes she made in her lifestyle, saying, “No. 1 — life kept staying busy, and I often forgot to hydrate myself, and hydration is one of the ways in which you burn fat. I popped a timer on my phone with an affirmation and set an alarm for every day for 90 minutes from the time I woke up, and named that timer 'water is how you burn fat, beautiful'. When that alarm went off, I would have 20 sips of water. Ideally, you want to be consuming half of your body weight in ounces of water.”
‘100 gm of protein on a minimum’
Ravisha then said, "No 2 — I needed to make sure I was eating the right food to help me stop all of the sweet and salty snacking. In order to do this, I needed to increase my protein intake. A 100 gm of protein on a minimum, which is only 400 calories per day. That is not a lot... and No. 3, I had to fix my mindset and visualise myself at my ideal weight."
