Diet Solution: Subscribe to a meal plan
Did you know? Despite calorie intake being variable to a person’s age, weight, and activity level, the U.S. Department of Health has found that adult females must take around 1600-2400 calories per day. On the other hand, adult males should consume an average of 2000-3000 calories per day. A good way to be able to control your caloric intake is through subscribing to a meal plan. All you need to do is eat the curated meals, so you can keep your calories in check.
Diet Solution: Juice Cleanse
The ever evolving and ever changing juice cleanse is back for the post-holiday detox. Local celebrities such as Solenn Heusaff, KC Concepcion, Anne Curtis, and the like have all tried the juice cleanse. If you opt to do this diet, then you have two ways to go about it. You can either subscribe to a juice cleanse plan, wherein you’ll receive fresh bottles everyday from a supplier or you can make the juice yourself. There are a multitude of juicers available in the market. You’ll just need to find the perfect one for you.
Exercise Solution: Hiring an online personal trainer
Due to the ongoing pandemic, many gym subscribers are not able to use their memberships to the full potential. On top of that, there aren’t any experts around the house who could help you out with your form. The solution to this problem lies in taking a chance on a personal trainer. Nowadays, many PTs offer a digital service, wherein they can give one-on-one consultations through video call. If you’re the type of person who needs additional pressure to move, then this might be your gateway to a healthier 2021.
Diet Solution: The Bone Broth Diet
You might ask, “What exactly is bone broth?” Simply put, it’s a soup made out of either beef or chicken bones with carrots, leeks, onions, garlics, celery, pepper, bay leaves, and apple cider vinegar. And no, this is not the only thing you’ll be eating for your diet. Unlike the juice cleanse, you’ll be sharing the bone broth with a Paleo diet. More than just for reaching your fitness goal, the bone broth diet is great for adding in protein, collagen, and gelatin in your system. As a result, you’ll come out of this diet slimmer and with clearer skin.
Exercise Solution Subscribing to a fitness group
Remember that time in 2019 when all of your college acquaintances were turning into spin instructors left and right? Then, some of your college friends would invite you to this acquaintance’s classes. Those were the days. Now, you can still get peer pressured into joining a group workout by subscribing to a fitness group.
