Sleep is important, per Kalifatidis She even maintains it was a key part of her losing a lot of weight in 2021. "Go to bed early – nothing productive happens after 9.30pm.

Here are some general guidelines for the amount of sleep adults need by age:

3. Do Pilates

Another important part of getting yourself to exercise is changing your mindset, Kalifatidis explained to NowToLove.au. “If you feel helpless or you're the least fit you've ever been in your life, it's ok. Shift your mindset. Instead of looking to punish yourself, look to nourish and better yourself. Instead of thinking of it as just a salad, think of it as a favor to your body," she said.

5. Avoid Keto

Martha was once a keto “extremist,” but the restrictive diet didn’t work for her. “Hands down the keto diet is the worst diet I’ve ever tried,” she told body+soul. “I am, correction, I was an extremist, she said. “Sure I leaned out, but I was miserable, severely constipated and couldn’t sleep. Take my carbs but don’t f%*k with my beauty sleep!”

6. Also, Avoid Fad Diets

Fad dieting is wrong for so many reasons. Firstly, it's impossible to stick to so you're forever beating yourself up, it makes you miserable and antisocial. Above all, they never actually work and they can have detrimental long lasting effects on your body. You might be dehydrated for a week or two, which will fool you into thinking you've lost weight but that's about it,” Martha added to body+soul.

7. Eat Healthy

Instead of extreme dieting, Martha focuses on “cutting out processed foods and eating more veggies,” eating “heaps of salads and soups” and making healthier food choices when dining out, she told body+soul. “I’ll have a burger but won’t get fries – instead, I’ll steal a few from Michael and that will satisfy me.”
