Spitch’s weight loss tips

Spitch has generously shared his weight loss tips with his followers, always emphasizing the importance of professional guidance.

“Please contact a professional. I am not a professional. I am just sharing from my journey. If you are living with any comorbidity or have a special medical condition that needs special attention, please check with your doctor before you embark on this journey,” he advised.

He said he started with intermittent fasting, which meant not eating for a period of time each day.

“Intermittent fasting changed my life. I started by reducing my meal intake from three to four meals a day to two meals a day. My eating window would open from 12 pm until 6 pm.”

In addition to modifying his eating schedule, Spitch said he also made significant dietary changes.

“I cut out sugar—especially processed sugar found in junk food and alcohol,” he shared.

Spitch said exercise also played a crucial role in his weight loss journey.

“Exercising is very important. Not only for weight loss but for your mental well-being as well,” he explained.

“You need to be as consistent as possible. Stick to the programme and don’t stop when you start seeing results.”
