4 Easiest Healthy Habits To Lose Fat
We are all guilty of not making healthier decisions or choices and it is totally fine. We aren’t perfect! But in the long run, all these little healthy choices will be very beneficial as you get older. However, you must take into account your genes as well as certain food or exercise may not be good for you. How to know? Take a DNA test Malaysia to find out which workout and food are suitable for you and your genes. Here are just some simple easy tips that worked for me, and I’m sure you’ll benefit from them too!
1. Eat more unprocessed food
One of the things that I found most helpful is eating more whole, unprocessed foods.
Unprocessed foods will tend to make you feel more full compared to processed.
Processed foods are packed with sodium, salt, preservatives and all the unnecessary extra calories which you don’t need.
Here are some examples of unprocessed and processed food:
Processed (food you should avoid!)
– most of the microwavable foods
– deli meat
– fast food
– potato chips
Unprocessed (food you should eat!)
– fresh fruits & vegetables
– eggs
– lean meat (eg. free range chicken, grass fed beef, wild fish)
– nuts & seeds (almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, flax seeds, chia seeds)

2. Snack healthier
We are all guilty of snacking foods like potato chips, chocolate, instant noodles and so on. If you’re the type that loves to snack a lot, try snacking on healthier options such as nuts, whole oatmeal, rice cakes, and greek yogurt.

A few snack ideas (which I personally love):
– greek yogurt with honey
– rice cakes topped with peanut butter
– full boiled eggs with mayonnaise
p/s: If you love bread, try rice cakes – a great low-calorie alternative. You can find them at any grocery store. You can eat them with what you usually eat with your bread. But don’t eat them too often as some say that they have a certain amount of sodium in them.
3. Be careful of what you drink
A can of coke is roughly 140 calories. Most of the sodas contain roughly ~200 calories plus and minus. You may think that all these drinks won’t cost you – but it does. Even alcohol contains calories! Did you also know if you have HIV, alcohol could worsen the symthoms? If you have sexual intercourse regularly and you don’t get yourself checked for HIV or STD, you could potentially harm yourself. Those who are sexually active should take a HIV test kit Malaysia to ensure you’re safe from this harmful disease.
Always opt for better options such as drinking water, green tea, iced tea.
Most of the time especially when I’m out, I usually order water. Even at home, I rarely drink unnecessarily unless I have a lot of calories left.

4. Always be on the move
Whenever you can, always try to burn the extra calories by walking more, or taking the stairs if the floor is just a few floors above (or if you are not feeling lazy, then opt for the stairs all the time even when it’s 6 floors above!).
Exercise whenever you can, even simple exercises at home makes a difference!
Try searching up ‘HIIT’ exercises on youtube, there are tons of them! HIIT is one of the best ways to burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time.

You don’t need to exercise for an hour or more. It only takes 30 minutes out of 24 hours a day. You can even try yoga as well! Just find the right yoga class in KL that is the nearest to you!
I hope you found these tips helpful! Try to consider incorporating them into your daily lives, I assure you that it’ll make a huge difference 🙂
Remember to always be patient. Changes don’t occur within a few weeks, it takes alot of time, consistency and effort.
Don’t give up so easily when you don’t see any differences within a few weeks – give it time. Months, years. You’ll get there.

It is so important to believe in yourself because if you don’t, then who will? Other people can believe in you, but if you don’t then there is no point. In the end, the decisions you have to make will always come back to you. Everything is your choice, so believe in your capabilities. Confidence is the key to everything. Even if you don’t have confidence, fake it. Act like you do because confidence is what creates a great impact on everyone, even yourself.
