Melbourne nutritionist Angela Borges has shared her ‘secret weapon’ to permanent weight loss.
“Do you really want to know my secret weapon for weight loss? I have a few…But they are all based on ONE principle…SIMPLICITY,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post.
“The biggest mistake I see women make is that they think they need to be able to make drastic changes in order to see results. They are ALL or NOTHING, but the thing is that you don’t need to make any MAJOR changes to see results.”
In the video, Borges shared how walking is one simple activity you can do to achieve permanent weight loss.
Walking every day for at least 30 minutes according to Borges is ’easy, fun and supports for mental and physical health.’
“You need to be realistic and honest with what YOU can do within your circumstances,” she said in the caption.
What’s important to remember, is that no two lives are the same.
Many people might not have time to spend two hours at the gym six days a week due to a busy lifestyle or spend hours on the weekend meal prepping for the week.
However, according to Borges, “it doesn’t mean you won’t do anything at all… Take ownership and do what YOU can within your reality.”
Walking can be great for physical health as well as mental health and what’s even better, the Australian National Heart Foundation call walking a ‘wonder drug.”
According to the Heart Foundation, “Walking for an average of 30 minutes or more a day can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke by 35 per cent and Type 2 diabetes by 40 per cent.”
The nutritionist’s Instagram followers weren’t surprised with her ‘secret weapon.’
One user wrote, “so true! I have to push myself to walk but I always feel so much better once I go.”
Another commented, “Been so good for my mental and physical health. I quit the gym because I wasn’t seeing results and walking is a game changer.”
