In a video shared on April 5, a nutritionist who goes by @shred_with_amaka revealed the 4 things that helped her lose 25 kg in 4 months. From intermittent fasting to consuming protein-rich meals<\/a>, she shared what changes she made in her daily routine and why it worked for her.<\/p>\n

How to lose 25 kg in 4 months?1. Intermittent fasting with detoxing<\/p>\n

Amaka practised intermittent fasting<\/a> during her weight loss journey, where she didn\u2019t eat all day; instead, she followed a time-restricted eating pattern. For instance, she only ate during an 8-hour window (from 12 pm to 8 pm) and fasted for 16 hours, incorporating 18:6 and 23:1 fasting.<\/p>\n

Per the nutritionist, during fasting, her body burned stored fat for energy instead of using food calories<\/a>. She also did detox by drinking \u2018warm lemon water in the morning to cleanse her system, green tea and detox smoothies to reduce bloating, and plenty of water to flush out toxins and speed up fat loss\u2019.<\/p>\n

Why does this work?<\/p>\n

Per the nutritionist, fasting forces your body to use stored fat for energy, while detoxing helps reduce bloating, improve digestion, and speed up weight loss.<\/p>\n

2. Weekly challenges<\/p>\n

Instead of just saying \u2018I want to lose weight<\/a>\u2019, the nutritionist revealed that she made small, weekly goals like drinking 3 litres of water daily, eating zero processed sugar for a week, doing 30 minutes of exercise daily, and walking at least 10,000 steps every day.<\/p>\n

Why does this work?<\/p>\n

Amaka revealed that this worked for her because setting small, clear goals kept her focused and motivated. Additionally, achieving them boosted her confidence to keep going.<\/p>\n

3. Strength training + 10k steps daily<\/p>\n

Amaka didn\u2019t just rely on cardio. She also did strength training (lifting weights, bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and resistance band workouts).<\/p>\n

Why does this work?<\/p>\n

Alongside this, she also walked at least 10,000 steps daily, which <\/p>\n
