Experts Tell: How to lose weight fast<\/span><\/h2>\n

Besides the sense of guilt creeping in whenever we’ve overindulged, we also can\u2019t ignore the obvious discomfort that overeating causes. Think bloated-ness, constipation and even nausea. To find out the best ways on<\/span> how to lose weight fast (and safely), <\/span>we\u2019ve reached out to certified nutritionists to give their expert advice for your post-festive weight loss diet tips!<\/span><\/p>\n

Who:<\/b> Personal trainer at Ashley Tay Fitness<\/a>. Holds a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Edinburgh Napier University with six years of experience as a personal trainer. She’s passionate about forging a healthy relationship around food and sees food as something that nourishes our bodies and enhances mood and energy levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s weight loss diet tip:<\/b> Be mindful of eating too much processed foods and desserts. Make sure to eat colourful vegetables and whole foods throughout the week, as well as drink plenty of water!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s weight loss workout tip: <\/b>To lose belly fast, consider doing some basic core exercises such as three sets of 20 leg raises, 30 flutter kicks and planking for 40 seconds. Also, try to stay on your feet as much as possible — walking is a form of exercise too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s quick fixes for bloating:<\/b> Cut down on fried food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who:<\/b> Founder and nutritionist at Sheeba the Nutritionist Pte Ltd<\/a>. Holds an MSc in Human Nutrition. 14 years of experience as a nutritionist, and an expert in areas like naturopathy, alternate medicine and is a certified herbalist too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheeba\u2019s weight loss diet tip:<\/b> Eat veggies with every meal and eat <\/span>fruits<\/span><\/a> twice a day. Also, make sure to drink a minimum of two litres of water, which can help you feel fuller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheeba\u2019s weight loss workout tip: <\/b>Get moving and do aerobic<\/span> exercises (<\/span>cycling<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>swimming<\/span><\/a>, running or even walking) on an empty stomach for 30 minutes as this will burn fat faster!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheeba\u2019s quick fixes for bloating:<\/b> Drink <\/span>dandelion tea<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>S-Mart by Shopee Official Store<\/span><\/a>) with meals or take a tablespoon of <\/span>apple cider vinegar<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Lim Siang Huat Your Groceries Store<\/span><\/a>) with meals. Dandelion tea reduces water weight and can help with bloated-ness while apple cider vinegar can help maintain blood sugar levels, may promote weight loss and improve overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for going on a detox safely: <\/b>As long as there is a systematic plan that supports body systems and detoxification, detox diets will support health in the short and long term. Eliminate junk and refined foods, and drink more water!<\/span><\/p>\n

Who: <\/b>Nutritional Consultant at Andrea\u2019s Digestive, Colon, Liver and Gallbladder Clinic<\/a>. Holds a BSc in Dietetic and an MSc in Human Nutrition and Food Science, with 11 years of experience as a certified nutritionist. Also a member of the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetic Association, with a special interest in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, food allergies and intolerances, obesity and eating disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veronica\u2019s weight loss diet tip:<\/b> Eat regular meals with all the right macronutrients in the right portions — 1\/4 plate wholegrain carbohydrates, 1\/4 plate protein, 1\/2 plate fibre from vegetables, a small portion of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado and plenty of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veronica’s weight loss workout tip: <\/b>Move at least 10,000 steps per day and choose a workout that you enjoy. The goal is to be active every day!<\/p>\n

Veronica’s quick fixes for bloating: <\/b>Fennel tea or ginger tea<\/a> (available on Ninja Snacks by SanSeSan Official Store) <\/a>can help after a huge meal, but of course it would be better to control the food intake and eat a proper portion of food.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Who:<\/strong> Nutritionist at FITFAMCO<\/a>. Holds a Bachelor Degree in Food and Nutrition Science with Hon<\/span>ours from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Has over 5 years of experience as a nutritionist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nana\u2019s weight loss diet tips:<\/b> Take three regular meals a day without snacking. Small and frequent food intake can cause insulin levels to spike and results in excess insulin synthesis where the body stores excess sugar into fats. This ultimately leads to weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a smaller plate during meal times also helps, as it gives the impression of having plenty of food in front of you. This automatically helps <\/span>us moderate our intake and subconsciously makes us feel <\/span>fuller easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nana\u2019s quick fixes for bloating:<\/b> Take a walk after dinner. Even better, stand up first for 10 minutes after a meal before going on that post-dinner walk! Drinking <\/span>peppermint tea<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Whittard of Chelsea Official Store<\/span><\/a>) can aid in digestion, or go for abdominal massages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nana\u2019s tips for going on a detox safely: <\/b>When it comes to <\/span>detox<\/span><\/a> diets, try to eliminate carbohydrates from all meals and increase intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and plant-based proteins like tofu moderately for three consecutive days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
