8 tips to make my positive affirmations more effective (and the secret to achieving them)

How to use positive affirmations properly
Positive affirmations are a powerful tool for positive thinking. By affirming the changes I want to see in myself every day, I gain confidence and what I repeat to myself eventually becomes reality. I rely on consistency to reprogram my mind to optimism and, most importantly, I back this up with concrete action: I formulate a clear intention and then use my positive mantras to help me achieve my goals by overcoming my limitations.

The best ways to lose weight according to science

How can I lose weight healthily and sustainably, according to science?
Research shows that you need to spend more calories than you consume to lose weight. Low-calorie, fat-free diets are less effective than a balanced diet rich in protein. Sleep and activity are also crucial to weight loss: a programme combining cardio, weight training, HIIT and mindfulness is optimal.

My nutrition guide: What to eat before and after your workout

What should you eat before and after training?

Before training, I prefer low glycemic index carbohydrates, so that I have energy for a long time. I avoid eating too much
fat, sugar and spices and ideally wait two hours between a meal and exercise. After a workout, proteins and healthy fatty
acids help me recover well, and I also rely on antioxidants by including fruit and vegetables in my diet.

yourself and discover new flavours: the main thing is to enjoy eating while supporting the baby's development!
