5 Easy Steps to Lose 50 Pounds

Last updated 2 years ago

DISCLAIMER: This article is purely based on my personal journey. This is not, in any way, a health nor a nutrition advice.

In today's world, our favorite cheat foods are just a tap away on the or Foodpanda app. Combine that with marketing powers of food businesses that have become so much stronger over the years such as sponsored food reviews on Tiktok and Instagram and social media targeting based on your favorite food online.

There were 4 major suspects of my weight gain: chicken wings, milk tea, unli samgyup, and being in a relationship. 😆

Here are the 5 easy steps that helped me lose weight from 200 pounds to 150 pounds...

Read until the end for a bonus tip.

1. Run and Make it a Challenge

Running is boring for some people. But I love running and I’ve been running for over a decade now. Not as active and daily compared to before but I make sure to reach 1,000KM every year as a challenge.

You can usually check the daily summary on the app of your watch and just use Google Sheets to track the daily progress and sum the total KMs.

This gamifies the process and make running more fun.

2. Exercise with Free Tutorials on Youtube

I’ll provide the list of free mentors on Youtube below.

  • Their tutorials are perfect for people who exercise at home and love doing low-intensity standing workouts.

  • There's so many tutorials to choose from. I bookmark my favorite tutorials by copying the links of the videos using the Notion app and adding a checkmark per video to round robin the exercises to make sure that I execute different videos all the time so you won't get bored easily.

Search for the following mentors on Youtube:

  • All Blanc

  • Body Project

  • ThenX

  • Pamela Reif

  • Emi Wong

  • Chloe Ting

  • SELF

  • Juice and Toya

  • PopSugar

3. 1 Cup of Rice Only

In the Philippines, rice is life! 2 cups on every meal used to be a standard for me. (I bet this applies to most Filipinos too.)

Try to challenge yourself to reduce your intake to 1 cup.

If it's hard, do it gradually. Like from 2 cups today, make it 1.75 cups next week to 1.5 cups on the 2nd week until you’re comfortable with 1 cup.

4. Eat Less

I used to eat 4 to 5 times a day:

  • 06:00AM - Breakfast

  • 10:00AM - Snack

  • 12:00PM - Lunch

  • 03:00PM - Snack

  • 06:00PM - Dinner

Now I only eat 2 to 3 times.

  • 11:00AM - Heavy breakfast

  • 03:00PM - Snack or lunch if I’m doing heavy activities

  • 05:00PM - Dinner

5. Themed Diet

Forcing a diet is often difficult. Who doesn’t love to consume milk tea, chicken wings, and unli samgyup?

I want to make it fun when eating oatmeal, Subway sandwiches, and salad so I created theme days such as Subway Tuesdays, Salad Thursdays, and Oatmeal Sundays.

BONUS: Get your heart broken 😆

You'll be challenged to become yummy again now that you're back in the market. 😆

How do I track? Buy running watches such as , and many others. I tried most of them but I personally use the because of its beautiful design and great app integration.
