Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats.
Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating, even when consuming healthy foods.
Incorporate moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity into your week, alongside muscle-strengthening exercises on 2 or more days a week.
Limit the intake of processed and fast foods, which are often high in unhealthy fats, sugars and calories.
Cut down on sweets, sugary beverages and refined carbohydrates, which can increase weight and affect your BMI.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes thirst is confused with hunger, leading to overeating.
Chronic stress can lead to overeating and weight gain. Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation.
Opt for gradual weight loss. Extreme diets are unsustainable in the long term and can negatively affect your BMI.
Keep a food diary and record your physical activity. Monitoring your habits can keep you motivated.
If you are struggling to maintain a healthy BMI, consider consulting a healthcare provider, dietitian or personal trainer.
