Losing weight is hard.

You starve and force yourself to run an insane number of miles every day. Then a month passes and you decide its time to step onto that dreaded scale that has plagued chubby humans for decades.

And when you see that you’ve not only not lost any weight but gained a few kilograms, you look to the clouds for answers but only hear the rumbling of your empty stomach.

Don’t lose hope just yet, though, because one woman in Malaysia might have a solution for you.

M’sian Woman Lost 40KG In 8 Months Even Though She Ate Six Meals A Day

When Siti found out she weighed 95 kg, she decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle so she could lose weight.

And after just eight months, she managed to lose 40kg.

This is especially impressive considering she ate up to 6 meals a day.

Reader: Six meals?! But… but how?

No strict diets

Siti says that you don’t have to follow a strict diet because it’ll only stress you out more. She’s right here; crazy diets that require you to eat one slice of lemon for two weeks or a glass of juice every day for a year are simply not sustainable.

Instead, Siti recommends controlling your calorie intake and portioning your meals by using smaller plates.

Smaller plates work thanks to an optical illusion called the Delboeuf Illusion. Basically, we think things are smaller when we compare them to things that are larger.

Siti also had a few other tips to lose weight.

  • Drink water before meals. It fills up your stomach and also helps to revitalize your skin.
  • Sleep for 8 hours a day. Studies have actually shown that a lack of sleep can cause obesity.
  • Eat plenty of protein and avoid sugar. Stick to natural sugars in fruits and vegetables or substitute sugar with honey.

  • You should avoid sugar, but that doesn’t mean you can’t drink anything other than boring old water. Siti shared that throughout her weight loss journey, she actually drank a lot of green tea and black coffee without sugar to boost her metabolism and energy before workouts.
  • Avoid alcohol. A drink of beer usually contains around 8 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Eat breakfast. Skipping your meals will not help you lose weight, Siti says.
  • Don’t starve yourself. Your body will burn muscle to replace your lack of food intake and this will make losing weight harder instead.
  • Spread your meals out. Siti may have eaten small portions, but she ate meals up to six times a day.

Reader: Wow, so that’s how she did it! I guess I don’t have to exerc-

You need to exercise too

Reader: Goddamit

Yes, it’s that E-word again. No weight loss regime is going to work without some exercise. Eating habits have a huge impact on weight loss but it isn’t the only thing you can do.

Siti said doing aerobic & cardio exercises regularly will definitely help you shed some weight.

The last thing you need is determination. Believe that you’ll reach your target weight and persevere when you feel like giving up.

You can do this!

Reader: Yes I can, I’ll start my healthy new lifestyle right now!

That’s great! You can start by going to the gym today!

Reader: Uh… I’ll start tomorrow.
