Weight loss is an uphill journey. You have to be consistent with your workouts, lifestyle changes, and calorie-deficient meals<\/a>. However, all of this goes to waste and weight loss becomes harder if you skip out on one thing, according to weight loss coach Ann-Maria Tom.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post shared on June 24, Ann talked about the one stop that can make fat loss harder if you miss out on it during your weight loss journey. Sharing the step, she wrote, \u201cYou are making belly fat loss<\/a> 10x harder by NOT doing this one thing.\u201d Let’s find out what it is.<\/p>\n

Weight loss is 10 times harder if you don’t do this<\/p>\n

Per the weight loss coach, skipping out on walking after meals will make your fat loss journey harder. \u201cIf you\u2019re skipping this fat-loss tool, you\u2019re making weight loss 10x harder. You don\u2019t need brutal HIIT workouts or hours at the gym,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

She suggested walking 1,000 steps after every meal. \u201cThat\u2019s roughly 10-15 minutes of gentle movement that activates your body\u2019s natural fat-burning<\/a> switch,\u201d the weight loss coach explained.<\/p>\n

She stressed that this simple habit can torch stubborn belly fat, even if you\u2019re dealing with insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances that make traditional cardio ineffective.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why it works<\/p>\n

Per the coach, post-meal walks immediately shuttle glucose into your muscles instead of storing it as fat around your midsection. \u201cYour body literally uses food as fuel rather than storage,\u201d she explained. She suggested:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWalk around your neighbourhood after dinner tonight. Use your phone to track steps. Aim for consistency over intensity\u2014three 10-minute walks beat one exhausting hour-long session,\u201d she wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next, she suggested adding morning walks on an empty stomach twice weekly. \u201cThis targets stored fat when your glycogen is naturally low,\u201d the weight loss coach explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
