“I subscribed to the gym just when the pandemic started, unfortunately. In the meantime, I gained about 3 or 4 kilograms and I wanted to get rid of them as quickly as I could. What do you recommend in terms of diet and exercise?”, Simone asked on a private forum dedicated to the industry. Soon, answers came pouring in. “Try to be active every day. You can search on YouTube, you will find numerous interesting exercises, both for beginners and advanced. Also, don’t buy chips or sweets, so you don’t munch on them when you get bored. Also, don’t eat anything after 8 PM, eat a lot of salads, fruits and vegetables, and replace cakes with ice cream”, Lucy answered.

“To cut the long story short, exercise as much as you can in your free time: go for walks, take the stairs, eat at fixed hours, and ditch the snacks in between. What’s important is to create a routine and hold on to it”, added Dani, while Booboo put her finger on the problem: “Don’t forget to drink a lot of water, especially during the hot season! If you don’t want to deal with extra kilos anytime in your life, you should turn this into a lifestyle”. Aleena also added that she trains three times a week, for 30 minutes, and she completely cut fats from her diet, eating a lot of vegetables.
“I’ve always hated diets! Instead, I eat little, and often, it works perfectly for me. If your metabolism is as good as mine, you should try it as well”, Megan opined. “I’ve discovered a great abs-at-home program. For 2 weeks straight, you do 10 minutes of abs every day. It turned out really well, even though it was hard for the first few days”, Maddy shared. Last but not least, Amelie said that she prefers to walk for one hour every evening. “If you could also jog, it would be perfect. Otherwise, I don’t believe diets work, what works is eating less”, she said.
Therefore, there is no secret recipe for keeping fit, but following a few basic rules will take you closer to a healthy lifestyle: don’t be sedentary, don’t forget to drink water, and don’t eat a lot of sweets and snacks. You don’t have to hit the gym every day, but it would be good to run or at least walk for half an hour or an hour.
