In a post titled, ‘How to lose 50 pounds in 6 months (naturally)’, Nadiya listed three things that helped her lose all that weight naturally. The first was going on a calorie-deficit diet and tracking all her food. She did so by using a fitness app that tracked her calories and basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions. She also made sure to only consume 1,600 calories per day. “The pounds will melt off,” she assured.
Nadiya kept track of her calorie intake during weight loss.
Next, Nadiya walked 10,000 steps every single day. She kept track of her daily step count with a fitness watch. According to her, a 45-minute walk at 3.0 speed helped her complete 5,000 steps in a day, and the rest 5k steps she acquired with just normal day-to-day activities. “Make it fun with friends or podcasts,” she added.
She walked 10k steps daily and did a workout she enjoyed.
Lastly, she urged her followers to find a workout they enjoy and do it diligently. For instance, if you love weight training, make sure you do that to stay fit. It can be Pilates, yoga, running, and cardio, too. “I only like working out in fitness classes, not at a traditional gym or home,” Nadiya explained. “Feeling strong and fit>being ‘skinny fat’,” she added.
In the end, to motivate her followers, she wrote, “Weight loss isn’t easy, but it is simple and only takes commitment to a few steps! I promise once you start, you will feel amazing.”
