What was your weight when you were 20?
It is often said that your weight when you’re aged 20 is the optimum weight for your body if you’ve had a decent upbringing.
And it is also said that if you’re not weighing near enough what you were at around age 20, then you’ve got some work to do.
Try and recall how you looked of what your weight was when you were 20. What was it? And then do a bit of measurement and figure out what your weight is today.
Keeping aside differences to do with body-building, muscle supplementation and keeping fit, are there any differences in your weight?
If so, you need to work out your plan to get back to that point. Your weight at age 20 is a key marker in your life. What are you going to do to start losing (or gaining) weight to get back to that point?
Here are some simple ideas to get going. They can be found in specifics in other articles on this site.
1. Reduce the amount of junk you eat - crisps, highly sweetened drinks, alcohol, chocolate and fast foods.
2. Drink lots of water everday. Carry a bottle with you every where you go - when you see it in front of you, you’re more inclined to drink it!
3. Eat fresh fruits, daily. Pick your favorite ones and make sure you have it. You can even spread them out throughout the day.
4. Have a good and healthy breakfast. Mum was right when she said breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Missing a good and healthy breakfast can be cruical in weight gaining.
5. Walk or jug once a day for 30-60 minutes. It’ll burn your calories to keep your Body Mass Index at a good level.
This isn’t the plan for the rest of your life - don’t let it scare you. It’s just a few ideas you can try and when you get your weight down, you can then decide how you want to balance your eating, drinking and exercise.
