Folks Open Up About 31 Weight-Loss Hacks They Used To Dump Fat For Good

As you scroll through the list, you will realize that many of these methods sound quite healthy and look like they would make a difference. To get more insights about the much-talked-about weight-loss journey, Bored Panda interviewed sports and fitness instructor Burzin Engineer, the founder of Tyro Transformation.

He believes a proper diet and regular workouts are the most important factors that fuel the weight-loss journey. He stressed that self-care plays a pivotal role as you need to take care of yourself, what you eat, how you sleep, and how you keep yourself fit. As per him, all these things will be easily affected if you don't care for yourself.

"If you sleep less, or do not eat properly, you might not have the energy to exercise and this will hamper your weight-loss journey. Likewise, if you don't take care of your mental health and stress over things, it can also equally have an adverse impact on your journey, so you must regard both things properly," he added.

Speaking about the biggest challenges that people face during their weight-loss journey, Burzin emphasized that the youth is becoming lazy and forgetting the importance of sports. He claims that back in the day, people played more sports and were more active, but today's youth is plagued with laziness.

He explained, "Doing some exercise for one day a week is not enough. Just like the way that you sleep, the way you eat, or the way you drink, you need to religiously exercise every day. Overcoming this laziness and making fitness a permanent part of your life along with a proper diet is the only way to lose weight."

At times, he said that you might feel like your progress is slow, but remember that results are never overnight. "You are not Superman that things will go your way at the click of a finger. Losing weight takes time and patience, and even if your progress is slow, it's fine as long as you keep at it," mentioned Burzin.

When we inquired about setbacks that people might have in their weight-loss journey, Burzin calmly explained that not every journey is perfect but comes with its ups and downs. In fact, he believes that setbacks are part of everyone's journey, but in the end, you can overcome them as long as you bounce back.

"I want to be very realistic here. We are all human and we are going to have cravings and wants, or might go stagnant. But hey, that's totally fine. The most important thing is how you bounce back. Don't go too harsh on yourself, but try and maintain a balance."

"If you want to go out to a party and eat sugar, do it! However, make sure that you work out extra hard the next day. So, it's important that you maintain the balance between enjoying your life, while also ensuring your fitness," Burzin advised.

While concluding the interview, we debunked a few weight-loss myths with Burzin. While there are many out there, the first one that he stressed was that you can eat anything and everything as long as you work out.

"That's the biggest myth ever! People eat just junk food thinking they will work out later, but that's not the case as you can't lose weight until you follow a particular diet. Another big myth is that you will get abs if you do a core or abdomen workout. You can work out however much you want but never get abs. Abs are always made in the kitchen, not while working out," our expert narrated.

Lastly, Burzin stressed that a calorie-deficit diet accompanied by a proper workout that's appropriate for your body is the only way to lose weight.

Well, that does sound like some wonderful advice from the expert, doesn't it? Well, it definitely motivated me to never skip out on a perfect combination of diet and exercise!
