The morning is the best time to start the day right. If you are an early riser like myself, it’s a time of peace, tranquility and trying to make some good decisions 😊 Quick morning nutrition for me looks like 2x bananas 🍌 1 tsp sesame seeds 2 tsp sunflower seed Kernals 1 tsp moringa powder 1 tsp turmeric powder 7x Kalonji (onion seeds) I mix it all up. The sunflower 🌻 seeds add a lovely crunch and everything else mixes into the bananas. 226 calories in all according to @fatsecret_app and it keeps me happy and satiated with lots of good nutrients entering the digestive system 🥳 I got my #moringa from @meadows_organics @karachifarmers .. the markets ended for the time being but the store is now open. The turmeric - anti-inflammatory- is a freshly ground and not store bought. A gift from a dear friend 😊 you can get a one from @daaliearthfoods .. Pair it with a mug of freshly squeezed lemon 🍋 juice in hot water with 1x tsp of chia seeds. #FindYourInnerFit . . #farihashah #reformerinstructor #reformerpilates #nutritionstartsathome #smallgoodsteps #food #nutrition #caloriedeficit https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgvowLBmaa/?igshid=1vsltrv40ti9g

I like how this summarizes the calorie deficit approach and its benefits. I think wanting to lose excess fat is beneficial for many of us to attain optimal energy levels. And as we know, our tummies need space for air as well. Hence, enjoying everything in proportion and tracking your eating habits, is actually a pretty healthy way of attaining the energy levels we desire eventually. Slowly we start making the more nutritional choices by default because we can see the amazing way it makes us feel - positive, happy, energized, able to do more for us and those we love ❤️ #repost @thefitnesschef_ ・・・ To gather a reliable verdict on slimming world, one must evaluate it objectively, removing emotion from any conclusions. ⁣ ⁣ Many have benefitted from slimming world protocols. Motivation, accountability and change from unsupportive eating habits to name a few. ⁣ ⁣ But by design, it is based on a win or lose arena. Success/failure is determined via an accountability weigh in each week. But this procedure measures many anatomical variables besides body fat. Thus, administering congratulations or commiserations based on a number is poor measurement.⁣ ⁣ Food types do not directly determine fat loss, but quantities of food does. Understandings of energy balance are replaced by instruction to adhere to ‘syns’ while disregarding calorie values. This wreaks havoc with food relationships because, instead of associating food with relevant nutritional information, one is subjected to identifying eating them as good or bad, conjuring problematic feelings of elation, shame and guilt. ⁣ ⁣ The concept of ‘free foods’ is just as deplorable. It allows one to consume unlimited quantities of certain foods, some of which are calorie dense. Thus, one may easily create a caloric surplus - the exact opposite of what is required.⁣ ⁣ There is continuous explain energy balance energy balance - the one thing required. One can only speculate that this negligence is strategically designed to lure vulnerable people into a never ending set of unsuccessful formulas, forcing them to keep paying.⁣ ⁣ #farsfitnessfrenzy #farihashah #karachifitness #reformerpilates #caloriedeficit #nutrition #pilates https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTPMn_Bk0K/?igshid=1uptsmskwolxs

Really great post here by @smartbodyfactory capturing what happens when you focus on the wrong thing. It’s not about losing weight and becoming thinner. It’s about your overall wellness, sense of wellbeing, your ability to take care of your loved ones, being in a good place.. it’s all of that and more. Remember the “why” of what you are trying to accomplish. It changes the paradigm. #FindYourInnerFit . . . #karachifitness #balancedbody #reformerpilates #farihashah #farsfitnessfrenzy #pakistan #wellness https://www.instagram.com/p/B7BsAy7h5g7/?igshid=1u9cq5xyvdji1

It’s good to monkey around sometimes 😊 hanging around at the monkey bars with the kids is actually an amazing full body energizer. It’s upper body engagement, activating the shoulder joint, the upper back and the arms. Your core will fire up as you do some funky moves and the best part... the kids will remember it for a long time to come 🥰 📸 by me (c) @farsgemworld #farihashah . . . #play #monkeybars #health #fitness #joy #happy #bonehealth #muscles #fullbodyworkout #karachifitness #fitnesskarachi #behealthy #befit #farsfitnessfrenzy #farsgemworld #farsgemworld https://www.instagram.com/p/B4grWz6pFoK/?igshid=1hhof5w92f8e2
