Restart weight loss journey

[drfatema]

I am above 50 years. I was on vegan diet 1 year back and was very fit ,motivated and lost 3 kg in 3 month. After that * don't know when I stopped all routines. Now I am near my previous weight. How can I restart again?

Welcome back, Fatema. I’m looking forward to hearing about your food. It would be lovely if you shared your meal plans in the Daily Diary.

I’m pescetarian myself- have been so for my entire adult life- and find that I have to be very conscious about how I spend my calories to get enough protein on the days where I don’t eat fish or egg. Especially now that I’m in menopause.

Hello and good luck on your journey to regain your health.

Getting started can be something small if the thought of making changes is overwhelming. A lot of experts focus on the importance of "The basics done well" which is something I believe is taught in the military and relates to the importance of the following key areas:

Sleep - Ensuring you get enough rest every night

Nutrition - Eating a balance of nutritious and non processed foods

Movement - Getting some form of exercise, it can be something like walking

Hydration - Drink plenty of water every single day

Quite often, getting these in order is the best way to begin!!
