But nonetheless, she didn’t give up and tried intermittent fasting. This was the trick she needed all along. She mixed it with other options such as exercising pointing to walking as the most useful exercise in her weight loss journey.

“I was almost giving up until I decided to try intermittent fasting. Now this is where you give yourself specific time to eat. For example I usually have my first meal at around 1pm and the last one at 6pm. This means that my body burns out the calories given and then resorts to body fat fo fuel. This in turn means losing weight. I also make sure I take less calories than my body needs. Also another hack that I discovered is exercising and walking is an underrated thing. At least I take 12,000 steps a day and this can be done anywhere,” she said.

Martha also said that mindset shift is the biggest and most important. According to her, giving yourself excuses on when to start this journey or the lifestyle habits to adopt and discard might prove a key factor in weight loss.

Besides, Martha also added that this is not a journey achieved in just a short time. She revealed that she’s achieved this in over two years but over two years of dedication.
