ABSOLUTE FITNESS
What is a calorie deficit? As a human being, you burn calories as fuel. To maintain your weight you need to be putting in as many calories as you are putting out. This is called energy balance.
⚖ Imagine that balance as a scale.
🍽 To put on more weight (body fat) you need to eat more calories than you're using each day.
🏃‍♀ To lose weight (body fat) you need to either eat fewer calories, or move more to tip the balance towards being in a deficit.
Me personally? I went from doing full-time PT and walking over 25,000 steps a day. Now I'm coaching online and sitting at a laptop more, sometimes I'm only doing 3-5k steps in a day. That's meant I EITHER reduce my calorie intake (eat less) or increase my energy output (move more) or do a bit of both to maintain my weight.
4⃣ Your energy output is made of four components that burn calories:
✅ BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) the amount of calories that are burned when you are at rest. So think of it as your heart pumping the blood round your body, your lungs breathing, your brain functioning etc.
✅ NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) the calories your body burns moving day to day. Walking, fidgeting, heck even brushing your teeth burns a couple of calories. For example - my NEAT was high in the past clocking up 25k steps compared to my recent 3-5k steps.
✅ EAT (Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) the calories you burn doing conscious exercise activity. That weights session, that swim, that run. That's classed as EAT. This is what I had to increase recently to tip my energy balance.
✅ TOF (Thermic Effect From Food) These are the calories that are burned by your body to break down and digest your food. This can be as high as 10% of your energy expenditure with a high protein diet. So eat more protein and you'll also burn calories by digesting it! Cool eh?
⬆ For us at Body Smart we know the easiest way to create a deficit is to focus on all of these. Move a little more, eat a little less, eat enough protein. It really is as simple as that!

Monitor your Salt Intake
Ready-made foods are packed with high levels of salt. Always check food labels for it: a food is high in salt if it has more than 1.5g salt (or 0.6g sodium) per 100g.
An average adult should eat less than 6g of salt a day in total – which is about one teaspoon. Keeping a check on your salt intake will also help you maintain a healthy blood pressure level.

The Seated Spinal Twist increases the range of motion in your upper body by stretching your hips, glutes, abs, obliques, back, chest, shoulders and neck.

Technique:

Begin by sitting tall, extending both legs in front of you. Bend your right knee and cross it over your left thigh, then bend your left knee (you can keep your left leg straight if necessary). Take your left elbow and place it on the outside of your right knee, then place your right hand on the floor behind you, looking over your right shoulder. Hold and breathe deeply for 15 to 30 seconds, and release. Switch sides and repeat.

Define a point where you wish to go and after that keep pressing forward with a resolutely determined mind and heart. Everything else will then support you to get to that point, isn't this the only way to make great things happen??

Strength training is the only way you’re going to truly be able to sculpt the physique of your personal dreams. There are so many misconceptions about strength and resistance training.
One is that you’ll become muscle-bound, so bulked up that your body becomes rigid. That myth was somewhat dispelled when athletes who started strength-training saw that they could hit a ball farther, jump higher and run faster. Gradually we started realizing there are benefits beyond sports.
But women in particular are neglecting strength training at their own peril. It’s the only kind of exercise that makes muscles bigger, which lets them generate more strength and force, faster. Muscle mass allows us to move. Young people tend to take for granted the day-to-day parts of life that require strength, like walking up stairs or picking up a baby. But a sedentary lifestyle means that people are gradually becoming weaker over time. Building muscle can fight back against that process.
Strength training comes in far more accessible forms as well—many of which do not even require a gym membership and certainly don’t require a personal trainer. Resistance bands, cheap strips of elastic that loop around arms or legs, are one good way to build strength without weights, for instance. Another option that involves even less equipment is to use your own body weight. Sitting up and down in a chair many times builds strength, as does jumping, which uses many of the legs’ major muscles. Even walking can count as strength training, depending on the intensity.

Getting in shape is not that difficult a resolution to keep. You just have to set your mind into goal-mode, and exercise will come naturally to you. Here are five simple steps in order to get into the right mindset to work out regularly. Remember, exercise not only makes you look better, but it makes you feel better, as well.
Set Realistic Expectations
If you are new to exercise, do not overwhelm yourself. Try to stick to one small physical goal, and keep a list of objectives. When you set realistic expectations for yourself, you will be able to obtain them. Then, you may work on the more difficult objectives. It's that simple.
Find a Fitness Buddy
Studies show that when you work out with a fitness partner, you are more motivated to your workout routine. Whether you are simply having more fun while working out with a friend, or you feel more competitive and push yourself to the limit to be the best, depends on your personality. Either way, having a friend right by your side proves beneficial.
Just do something
It does not matter if you cannot afford an expensive gym membership. Just because you do not have access to those fitness machines, does not mean you cannot exercise efficiently. Exercise does not have to be formal. Run up and down your stairs 10 times a day. Take your dog outside for a jog, or even a quick jaunt, around the neighborhood. Anything that makes your heart beat faster and your body use oxygen more rapidly is a form of cardiovascular exercise. So, do not let anything discourage you from your ultimate fitness goals.
Eat Healthy
In order to become physically fit, working out is half the battle. You must eat a healthy diet to maintain a good fitness program. If you can afford it, consult a dietician for nutritional advice. A good dietician can tell you what foods to eat to compliment your workout and help you attain a leaner, healthy body. .
Have Fun
As physical as exercise is, the first step to any kind of exercise is your mental state. It is important to remember that you exercise, not to torture yourself, but to make yourself feel good. So, do things that you enjoy.

Lets talk about Quality Foods

Peanut Butter
Protein Content: 8 g per 2-tbsp serving

Though not as trendy as other nut butters like almond, peanut butter still leads the way in the protein department. Make sure to watch labels for sugar, though. Natural versions made from just peanuts are best—some stores even let you grind your own.

If you're working to get your weight in check, look for peanut butter powder, which has less fat but the same protein content. You can even use the powder for baking.

DIABETES AND US !

A man in his 30s was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. He was rich,respected had a loving family, the only thing he lacked in his life was his health.😣

Due to Diabetes his health had gone for a toss, during his life span he was admitted in the hospital for more than 20 times with heart, kidney, liver, eyesight damage and an amputated leg.
He spent plenty of money on medications and doctors.💊💊

He left the world at 60 cursing every moment of his life, saying he had everything but couldn't enjoy a single moment of his life and it all started because of Diabetes.💉💉

India has become the Diabetic capital of the world, more than 33% of Indian population are Diabetic.
what may be the reason that every 3rd person in India is a Diabetic??
You will be shocked to hear that its not our genetics, heredity or a sydentary lifestyle, but the root cause lies in the food we eat.
Yes you read it right its the food we eat...!!🍞🍔🍟🍕🌭🍿🎂🍨

Before getting into it, I would like to give you a brief Introduction on Diabetes.

Diabetes is a METABOLIC disorder in which our body looses its ability or becomes less efficient in using glucose,
with which the glucose in the blood doesn't get used by the cells instead keeps rising in the blood.

Normal physiological blood glucose levels range between 80-120mg/dl,

an average human has 5ltrs of blood in the body which means the normal glucose in the blood must be
approximately 5 grams.

But what we do is dump minimum of 80-100 grams of carbohydrates/Sugars in every meal in the form of rice,bread,chapati,roti,grains,table sugar and fruits.

All Carbohydrates are a form of sugar, when consumed gets converted into glucose instantly or without much delay.
So when we dump these foods in everymeal our blood glucose level shoots up, now a hormone known as Insulin produced by the Beta cells of Pancreas comes to rescue, manages the blood glucose levels and transports the excess into liver,muscles and fat cells.

🛑🛑 The problem starts when due to regular bombarding of Carbohydrates/Sugars, the cells become resistant to insulin with cell receptor damage or the Pancreas due to overwork of producing Insulin, and is no more capable of producing Insulin hormone in enough quantities or the insulin produced is not able to clear the blood sugar. This leads to diabetes in a person .

🙆‍♀️ what can be done to stay away from Diabetes?

Is it exercise,medications,doctors or something else?
😇The answer is again food, yes the right food...!!

Carbohydrates/Sugars like rice,chapati,roti,Bread,grains,table sugar and fruits when consumed get converted into glucose after digestion, which elevates the blood glucose levels rapidly, then a surge of Insulin hormone has to come and manage the blood glucose levels.

So what if we elimiante Carbohydrates/Sugars from our food list?

-Your question maybe, then what to eat?🤔

My answer- We will eat what we were meant to eat as humans.🤗
That is protein and Fat (ghee, butter, coconut oil, cheese, milk, yoghurt, paneer, chicken, red meat, fish and the list continues), and complete elimination of Carbohydratyes/Sugars, which you can call it as a low carb diet/lifestyle or a ketogenic diet/lifestyle.

Yes when we eliminate Carbohydrates/Sugars the blood glucose levels will not elevate so there will be no need of an Insulin spike to manage the blood glucose and
thus you can stay away from Diabetes or if already diagnosed help yourself from worsening out.

But what makes me completely helpless and angry is people instead of changing the food which is ruining them,they instead visit a doctor and purchase a list of medications
and start having it and keep worsening their body day by day.

To give you an analogy its like you are wounded you go to the doctor,the doctor dresses the wound up gives you medication and then you go home, keep scratching the wound while having medicatons and think that the wound will be healed.

Is it possible?..........No right? 😭

The same thing happens ,you get diagnosed with diabetes doctor gives medications, you go home have medication but you don't act on the root cause that is eliminating
Carbohydrates/Sugars and instead have pills or Insulin shots which will manage the blood glucose. And then your body instead of healing itself starts degrades from heart,kidney,liver,eyesight,nerve damages and the list goes on !

Medication with right nutrition would help them in reversing their pathologies.

Yes i have seen 2 of my clients reverse Type 2 diabetes and lower Insulin doses in an Insulin dependant patients with the right nutrition and so can YOU !😎😎😎

Hope this shall help some!

Our on the go snack ! BISCUITS !

Be it the old age Parle G or countless marie biscuits dipped in chai that we have all grown up with or the bourbons that we lick only the cream off; biscuits has long been a part of our life.

It is now that it has suddenly been termed as healthy, with extra fiber, fortified with minerals and having no Trans fat.!! REALLY!!

Are these digestive and new aged healthy biscuits actually healthy or they are marketing gimmicks.??

Let’s glance through what generally most of the biscuits contain:
🌾Wheat Flour- Another word for Maida, the wheat flour mentioned on the packages is generally refined wheat flour.

🛢️Hydrogenated oil- hydrogenated oil contains trans fat which not at all good for healthy heart.

🍬Sugar- so much have been said about the BAD effects of sugar in our body.
So let’s be clear about what biscuits are not:
*A Biscuit is not low on calories :

Marie which is considered to be one of the lighter biscuits contains 56 calories in just two of its pieces.
*A Biscuit is not a good source of fiber:
Don’t totally believe what they say in the advertisements. Even with the fiber that is added in the biscuits, that content is much lower than the daily requirement for fiber. So instead of looking at biscuits for fiber we should look at nuts vegetables for our requirement of fiber.
*A Biscuit is not a healthy snack replacement:
It is high in glucose hence it cannot be a snack by itself, it would not give you any nutrition .

BE SENSIBLE WITH WHAT YOU EAT

The mere promotions give you a false play , don't play with your health put a little effort prepare your healthy snacks at home and have .
