Here are 5 essential habits, according to Rajni, for faster weight loss results:

Focus on daily movement

Staying active through regular movement is crucial.

Try to take 8,000–10,000 steps each day. The goal isn’t perfection but keeping your body active, boosting your metabolism, and clearing your mind. Walking is an incredibly underrated way to support fat loss.

Prioritize protein intake

Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle, especially if you’re strength training. Many women tend to consume less protein than needed.

For vegetarians, good sources include low-fat paneer, tofu, tempeh, soy products, low-fat Greek yogurt, and whey protein.

For non-vegetarians, options like chicken breast, egg whites, fish, lean beef, and turkey are excellent. Aim for 1.2–2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, depending on your goals.

Be mindful of your calorie intake

Losing fat isn’t just about eating clean; it’s about creating a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume.

A bad diet can't be out-exercised. Use calorie tracking as a tool for awareness rather than a restriction.

Lift weights and progress gradually

Don’t be afraid to lift weights. Contrary to myth, they won’t make you bulky—they’ll make you strong.

Progressive overload is the process of steadily increasing the challenge to your muscles, whether through more weight, more reps, or better technique. Focus on weights to develop a strong, toned physique instead of relying solely on cardio.

Stay hydrated

Proper hydration is essential for the body to function optimally. It impacts digestion, energy, recovery, and even fat loss. Aim to drink 2.5–3 liters of water daily, and more if you engage in intensive workouts.

By integrating these five habits into your routine, you can create a healthier and more sustainable approach to weight loss, just as Rajni encourages her followers to do.
